"After credit card debt is paid off, Krawcheck recommends saving three to six months of take-home pay in a savings account." "It’s really literally impossible to work 40 hours a week and also soldier 100% of the caretaking of families," said Mason. "[Women need to] cut themselves some slack and possibly find time for self-care, even if it’s just taking a 10-minute walk around the block or a longer shower. Just give ourselves a break." These two sure do not live in the real world. So easy to say if you don't live in the other person's shoes.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Always try to bring out your agenda and politicize the issue.
It sure sucks for somebody to lose their job and wish that the people get back to work as early as possible. It is not just the women who are suffering but men too and sometimes in a different way. For example the article mentions restaurant industry. More women may have lost their jobs with the closing of the food service business. However, I am sure that most of the restaurant owners are men. Don't know if many of the restaurants will be surviving until the opening or even thereafter. Many of them will have lost their life savings. Some many have given personal guarantees for leases, equipment, etc. and might lose their personal assets as well.

Abc news: "Far more men are actually dying from this virus than women. How can we spin it so it looks bad for women?"
Answer: Voila!

Women are not relegated to service jobs, they unintentionally dequalify( an invented word) themselves by their junior high and high school performance in what they choose to study and how hard they study. Engineers, scientists, and doctors must develop an ability in mathematics. If they do not they limit their future choices.

shecession? Does someone actually get paid to come up with these stupid terms?

There's no childcare! Somebody MUST stay home. Even as states are opening up, childcare options are running at 20 percent capacity.

"the 2008 financial crisis -- affected men's jobs more than women's" - upon which gleeful headlines were written such as "The End Of Men". What's today's headline "Shecession", hmmm, not the same ring.
“The way we think about work and women’s earnings is this idea of a 1950s ‘Mad Men’ era” — Who is this “we”? You sound incredibly old.
"Learn to code" - Yes. Coding is a passion. If you live for it, you can making living off it. But if you haven’t tried it yet, you may find you love it. Worth taking a look at. I recommend starting with 6502 assembler and just writing a small game for your Atari 1200XL. "Atari 1200XL"....yeah google it, it's a thing. OK, I sounded incredibly old.
How dare ABC call it a shecession. They are assuming gender and I am very offended by this.
