Time to put a lot men and women back in the kitchen, making sandwiches.
But that's seriously a perfect example of why simply raising the minimum wage to $15/hr isn't an actual solution. Before women entered the workforce in mass, a family could live off of one person's salary. Then two people started working and it was good for a little, until two people working became the norm, then it adjusted to the fact that two people working was required to support a family (obviously excepting if you have a particularly good job).
Er wait, are you saying the reason it takes both adult partners in a household being employed to make a living is because both partners in a household are willing to be employed?

It's difficult to discuss politics with you because you seem to hold a very negative and sensationalized view of "the other side."
