I was listening to a british NPR correspondant talk about how America still controls world markets through ferocious consumer spending.
I sell homes and I read something that said woman control housing prices. I have read this somewhere else too. Then I started to notice that women control much of the spending in a household. even choosing a movie is said to be controlled by the woman. Now, I know this is not the case in much of the world, so men...how did we lose control?

Woman have always controlled household spending because shopping is " women's work" just like cleaning. The puzzling thing is how did the world financial markets become dependent on the financing the debt of American consumers instead of the financing of industry.

Consumer spending and housing market are not the main part of economy. Men still control the industrial and financial investment.
Moreover, even if it is a woman who chooses what to buy from the store, there's a man deciding what the store sells.

American women only control half the spending. Their 12-year-old daughters control the other half.

The American economy is the world's largest.
American women own more than half the country's wealth, and all of the pus*y.
Do the math.
