If your company is big and retains a lot of employees it's reflected in the share price and an important piece of the economy that the government listens to.So your theory is that a bunch of people believe clearly dumb things and despite these things constantly failing they regularly deliberately pursue these in the hopes they'll fail upwards in a system that doesn't reward the dumb things. And that this has manifest across the entire global economy. Since you use the exact same arguments and meme references like Jew daycare as that guy and his replies I have to assume you also agree with the general thrust of his 75% figure. Then you just need to accept you're the same as every Marxist before you.
There is also the part where a lot of women have entered the workforce and they also created new jobs. When you hire a 'manager' that person is going to hire more people to manage and when you hire a woman, especially a feminist one, she's going to hire more women.
On the extreme side is the argument that the modern corporate world is just "jew daycare" to keep women from having babies.
I think the ultimate goal is consumption though. Women are the biggest consumer group by far. They spend a lot on clothes, they buy the latest iPhones. They have all their heavy stuff like kitty litter delivered and hire the gig economy services like Ubers and Ikea assembly
I don't believe the jew daycare theory.
I do believe that feminists and corporations kinda fueled the same trends unknowingly hoping to benefit from it leading to unexpected consequences for both of them.
As for doing clearly dumb things. I had this discussion with a guy who connects game developers to publishers and investors. And everyone wanted big studios with lots of people for no reason, it was just a KPI to pursue. The only way to measure an increase in production because you can't really measure it any other way. We want 10% more production every year, so we increase the headcount by 10%.
It's like those software companies that measure by the number of commits or tickets fixed. Everyone will commit more and create more tickets, just so the numbers go up.
