Wow. You must be one of those women with a chip on their shoulder about being 'less than' men. Sorry, you're not my type, and I don't respect anything about you.

For the record, I've been divorced for 35 years, am 70, and the article wasn't written to a serious academic standards. The word 'theory' was used colloquially. If it was serious, I would have written 'hypothesis.'

The focus is on how businesses sees the situation - labour is cheap. And until you understand that labour will lower the men's wages if they have to pay women more, you're barking up the wrong tree.
