Men Not in Labor Force

From these charts it appears the degradation in economic opportunity for men has been relatively constant since I entered the work force ('78). In stark contrast women not in the labor force remained within a tight range for roughly 25 years. Given population growth this means the market was absorbing as many women as entered the job market. Since the massive collapse of the U.S economic fraud/bubbles that revolved around internet technology, energy trading, financial gimmickry and real estate conditions for women appear to be dramatically more difficult.

I would guess at all levels whatever advantages enjoyed by women over those 25 years are no longer in force.
