I agree. Men should stay home and stop depressing women's wages.
Edit: just to clarify, twice as many workers produce twice as much*, and all this depressing-wages thing is bullshit in anything but the short run. There IS such a thing as a non-inflationary rate of unemployment, though it can be affected by nominal wage rigidity at low levels of inflation, or by hysteresis due to many long-term unemployed.
If we want to look at it from the marxist reserve-army point of view rather than the rational expectations point of view, the model doesn't change much:
high unemployment-->workers lose bargaining power-->wages decrease-->profits high-->businessmen invest-->unemployment low-->workers gain bargaining power-->wages increase-->profits low-->businessmen disinvest-->start over
In recent years, the link from high profits to high investment has admittedly broken, at least on a local scale, since a vast pool of comparatively poorly-paid workers has opened up in developing countries, which have now achieved the basic requirements needed to compete on industrial products. Still, the link remains true on a global scale, except high profits lead to businesses investing... elsewhere.
This does not change the fact that productive investment (as opposed to rent-seeking such as land grabbing) in poor countries is inevitably pushing up their productivity and their wages, and they will eventually catch up with the west (catch up at our level or only slightly below, mind you), ruining the game for exploiters.
That is, unless we run out of resources first. I alternate between being a technological optimist and an environmental pessimist.
*with twice as much capital, which can be built, and twice as many resources, which cannot.
