A shocking number of women dropped out of the workforce last month

Hundreds of thousands of women — nearly eight times more than the number of men — dropped out of the US labor force last month, as the pandemic continues to exacerbate inequalities in America's economy.

About 617,000 women left the workforce in September alone, compared with only 78,000 men, according to government data released Friday. Half of the women who dropped out were in the prime working age of 35-44.

While the huge number of dropouts also reduced the unemployment rate, the country-wide female jobless rate remained at 8% in September. For Black and Hispanic women, the unemployment rates are higher.

Women have been hit harder by this recession than by previous downturns. Industries that employ a lot of women, such as hospitality and leisure, are faring worse during the pandemic.

Women also are more likely to take on care responsibilities in the home, which during a time of homeschooling and home caring can be too much for many to continue their professional careers.

And moms are more than three times as likely than dads to shoulder most of the housework and caregiving, according to McKinsey's and LeanIn's Women in the Workplace report.

This is the reason why companies pay less to women or not interested to hire them

Yep, the only way for women to be as effective as men is to get rid of their ovaries and never bear children. 

Irresponsible comment.

What is wrong in what I said? How else can women be treated equally to men? Be paid the same, be as capable, be as competent? Getting rid of ovaries is the only way men will treat women with respect for their work.

First and foremost by focusing on the job and taking care of work responsibilities

You think men will respect women for their work, then. I am going to say, no. There are a lot of women who work, but they are not respected. It's because they have ovaries that they are not respected, but treated like they should have a levy for having an ovary.

I think all that is BS and finding an excuse to cover up their lack of work/focus.

Yeah, they lack focus because of ovaries, if they get rid of them everyone will be happy with their work.
