Women do not double productivity.

OK true, but they do increase productivity. Of course where this should be applied is in the home, so you can produce more children, but the economy (in terms of wealth) should still improve if they work in the private sector.
Also, they probably don't half wages.

It depends how you measure/define productivity. They do increase a nation's GDP, but that's largely do to increased consumption from debt laden wage workers. If a worker goes into debt to sustain herself, her productivity is negative. She becomes a mechanism to transfer wealth between productive individuals, so in that sense she is productive by extracting liquidity from creditors to producers, but she herself is not productive.

Its true some of the numbers in the post were not accurate, as if the day that women won the right to work they all got jobs, etc. I wish the op would have spent more time smoothing this rough edge out, but the overall point is sound, women in the workplace is bad for wages and that's bad for everyone.

Are you saying that those Gender Studies degrees don't produce anything?
