What a strange column, issuing from an even stranger viewpoint of capitalism and illustrated by a work of too-weird-for-me fiction.  

The "facts" given by one linked article are purposely warped, e.g., VOLUNTARY sterilization offered gratis to California inmates, 39 out of 144 of which in 2005 did not receive proper bureaucratic authorization but we're in no way forced procedures.  The referenced article itself was from 2014.  

I'm sure higher paid women do receive more benefits than hourly and/or minimum wage workers, just as I'm sure their male counterparts are in the same boat.  I'm also sure we could broaden that conversation to include increased responsibilities and required education/experience.  Maybe the author could give one or more examples of how a system other than nasty old capitalism provides work/benefits for US employees.  Capitalism isn't perfect, but it does support our current economy.  We saw in 2008 what happens when the system stumbles. 

Color me puzzled.
