Oops.In 1967’s SCUM Manifesto, radical feminist Valerie Solanas set out what she felt were the duties of every “civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking female.” Her aims were fourfold: overthrow the government, eliminate money, institute complete automation, and destroy the male sex.
....
This utopian vision of full automation may sound appealing, but it has one obvious negative consequence—the loss of human jobs. And, according to the World Economic Forum, it’s going to be women losing out most. It’s not quite the radical feminist dream that Solanas had in mind.
In a report entitled The Future of Jobs, the WEF warned that two industries about to be revolutionised by automation—“office and administrative” and “manufacturing and production”— are often populated by women; women who could lose their jobs. “As disruptive change is coming to business models, there is also a risk that these trends and drivers of change might sustain or worsen existing inequalities,” the report writes.
Four million men are set to face job losses in the next ten years due to automation compared to 1.4 million gains; one job gained for every three lost. Women, on the other hand, will lose fewer jobs—3 million—but will gain just 0.55 million. That’s five jobs lost for every job gained.
