Careful. You're on a very slippery slope there. If your argument were valid, we'd never have had equal rights:
Do we NEED black people in the workforce? Is there a shortage of white workers in the workforce?
Do we NEED women in jobs other than secretaries, teachers, and nurses? Is there a shortage of male lawyers, cops, and doctors?
You can see that by basing a morality decision solely on what the population NEEDS to survive, you cease being anything close to moral.
And as to the (extremely long) article posted here - - seems to me the problem isn't with the women, but with the asshole men who couldn't view women as anything other than sex objects. My original point stands: If such were inevitible, I wouldn't get any work done either because I'd be working with 15 sex objects and would be too busy trying to cop feels to write my stories.
