When people say that men and women are equal, I think they really mean equal in dignity. You can hate feminists, but they fought for a lot of the rights you take for granted.(When I say feminists, I mean the ones who stick to the original principles of feminism, not man-hating).
Well said, although i think equality can and should be achieved in things like the pay grade in non-physical jobs because there is a definite bias towards men getting pay rises, which has to be weeded out of the consciousness.
There will always be areas where one gender is simply better than the other though.
To your point about the wage gap - even after all factors are controlled for (including the type of job a person has), women are still paid 2-7% lower than men. That is, there is still an unexplained wage gap that gets larger as the type of job gets more sophisticated (i. e., the difference in pay at the CEO level is larger than at the janitor level).
They don't take into consider the amount of time a woman takes off to take care of children if they are sick, have snow days, don't have someone to care for them, etc
Also when jobs are higher up like CEO, all of them are paid differently depending on the company. And there is only one CEO. So you can't really compare things like this.
Yea the industry, not the individual company. Like I said, the top positions in a company only has one person each. And each get paid differently and you can't compare other companies. Because each company pays differently.
@Thisperson98 The individual company shouldn't matter at a statistical level - that's why they did it on a per-industry basis. Otherwise, you'd end up with a classic "Small N" bias in the results.
"Is there evidence that suggests women use different negotiation tactics across the board?"
^^ I have my (purely anecdotal, but POWERFUL) evidence from my own career, which is that men are **completely, absolutely unprepared** to deal with a woman who employs BOTH 1) hard-nosed negotiating tactics AND 2) a genuinely pleasant, disarming, *somewhat* flirtatious personality.
The problem, apparently, with 99.5 percent of women who can do #1 effectively, is that they're so inured to "playing the bitch card" that #2 has fallen by the wayside.
Like... srsly, you should see men's faces when I throw that combination at them. They literally DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. For at least five seconds -- before they collect themselves -- their faces look the way they would if their pet dog had just started speaking fluent Brazilian Portuguese.
I mean, I've never done rigorous research, but, I KNOW "holy shit I've never seen this in my life" when I see it.
There ^^ I'm talking about freelance contracts... but... think about that for a second, I'm talking ABOUT FREELANCE CONTRACTS.
Meaning, I see the holy-shit-my-dog's-speaking-Portuguese face from male execs/controllers/production agents who are **used to dealing with freelancers who negotiate contracts for a living**.
If THOSE guys are shellshocked to see a woman who can actually negotiate... I can only fucking imagine how much of a black-swan event that must be for a normal HR/hiring person, in a normal company, hiring non-freelancers.
Men and women are not equal. They think differently. When asked about the top three things they want in a lover WOMEN SAY (1) Physical Cleanliness (2) Being Present And Emotionally Connected , (3) Communication Skills. MEN SAY (1) Physical Cleanliness , (2) Giving Oral Sex , (3) Emotional Maturity (4) Being Present And Emotionally Connected.------So their priorities are different because they minds and bodies are tuned differently.
Every time a femenist woman complains about the wage gap - a little cute kitten cries at night.
If you really want to experience the same job - then by all means, grab a pick axe and go dig coal for a coal power plant inside a dangerous and heavy work area. No? How about taking a swim inside a s*** filled tunnel aka working inside sewers literally cleaning feces and other human shit from clogging up the pipes (Sanitation). No? Then why not hit the construction site and carry bricks from the ground floor up to the 13th one using only stairs... No again? Well then, why don't you grab your little cute purse, shove your wage gap up your keister, where the sun doesn't shine and bitch about it at home to your pet cat who is most likely trying to escape the torture of living with you and your single ass in the first place.
I agree with you, i was about to disagree on the unequal pay but you expanded on that.
Regressive lefties would likely get angry at you for this post though for violating their safe spaces. Many people would argue that you are whatever gender you choose but... gender does exist only when that person wants to change their gender to become trans

Research shows that men feel emotions more strongly... women are cold and calculating... Men DON'T get paid more, instead, women in their 20s and 30s outearn men. Women with a STEM degree are twice as likely to find a job. Also women commit the majority of domestic violence, queens have always been more warlike than kings etc...
STOP SPREADING LIES FEMINAZI!! THIS IS A DIABOLICAL POST
Being equal doesn't mean that they need to be exactly the same. Of course there are some differences, but this doesn't mean that they're not created equal
I agree men and women are different emotionally, mentally and physically but I believe we should be equal as people.
I don't agree with the "women should know their place." What exactly is my place? I feel that means I'm supposed to be a lower status than a man, that I'm inferior.
@ puppylove94 you may be my next favorite gager with your thinking and getting my high libido going. I'm a bit of a sapiosexual;) true, men's libidos are generally higher then women's.
@scrambledagain Hey I got a question for you bruh.
Imagine 2 guys, Donnie and Ronnie.
• Donnie loves to eat anything and everything edible. Give him free food and he'll scarf it down. To Donnie, just about *everything* tastes good. Some things do taste better to him than others, but at the end of the day, Donnie doesn't DISlike very many foods at all... pretty much just the ones that are truly disgusting.
• Ronnie has more refined, acquired tastes. He's more of a food snob, or a "foodie" as the magazines call 'em these days. Ronnie will eat unexciting fare to survive -- just as anyone else would -- but he LIVES for the gourmet experience. For Ronnie, a truly exquisitely prepared meal is like ecstasy incarnate.
Who would you say is more "into food", Donnie or Ronnie?
If you were a gourmet chef, would that change yr answer?
@redeyemindtricks Ronnie loves food more. I was going to say they are the same (love food) but Ronnie seems to really live for that awesome food moment and works towards it (eats mediocre food to get that thrill of the good shit when he can). Donnie loves food, but doesn't feel the same thrill as Ronnie. My answer wouldn't differ if I was a chef or not.
Lol but there is no take-away here (pun intended) sex/love and food are two different things. I am not going to assume the philosophy you are trying to project here, BUT I do know that when it comes to love/sex, for men, there is no choice. The food analogy implies choice. Ronnie chooses one path and Donnie another. Many, if not most Men don't have a choice. So the food analogy: take ALL food away from them. After a while they will be eating live rat that crawled through a sewer. Compared to that, junk food will be amazing for both dudes and gourmet meals would be an added bonus.
hey pull up a chair... this is gna be learning moment time bud.
See how you just said Ronnie loves food more? Yeah.
In fact, I'm just gna quote you, back, to you: "Ronnie loves food more... Ronnie seems to really live for that awesome food moment and works towards it (eats mediocre food to get that thrill of the good shit when he can). Donnie loves food, but doesn't feel the same thrill as Ronnie"

Let's just substitute that right in there, shall we.
"**Women** love **sex** more. **Women** seem to really live for that awesome **sex** moment and work towards it (has mediocre **sex** to get that thrill of the good shit WHEN SHE CAN).
**MEN** love food, but don't feel the same thrill as **WOMEN**."
@redeyemindtricks lol luckily I said I didn't want to assume what you were getting at because... bwahahaahhahhha 😂😂💦💦☔️☔️🌊🌊🌊
Nice little story you made up. No if that is the case then this is the correct analogy: food =sex right. Ronnie (women) may or may not come to the table. Donnie (man) will always come to the table.
If I took a chart and plotted the general female vs male libido in terms of population on a graph, the male would always be above the average mean. It will look like a line with small squiggles (little bit of ups n downs) A females would look like the Richter scale after a 8 sized earthquake. Some woul be way above the mean, some way below and some in between. Like super waves with troughs and peaks. Those women at the top peaks are called "Unicorns" for a reason. They are pretty rare.
... and even if women did like sex as much as men generally (which is bullshit of the highest order... I would believe In real life dragons before that fantasy)...
@redeyemindtricks... they certainly do not have rock n roll sex as much as men. Fuck that's why men have to PAY women to get naked in porn while dudes will do it for free. Like women don't get naughty like men want unless you pay for that shit.
@redeyemindtricks Respectfully ( because I believe you are worth respecting !! ) disagree !! Only a minority of women are more sexual than men ( I'm not very sexually driven anymore & am VERY happy with that , I'm a single dad , which = single / celibate life ) , this is due to testosterone levels ( THE sex drive fuel ) brain wiring & very sex negative , repressive social conditioning. I do agree with you in that a man should learn to be a skilled lover , I always made sure I got my past partners off , but there were too many that were just frigid " cold fish " , that never orgasmed ! The OP agrees that men have much higher sex drives than women , this is a big disadvantage for men. Women are much less attracted to men overall , than vice versa.
@FatherJack it's true the men go through a form of menopause so that could be what your experiencing. Your testosterone levels lower, therefore lowering your sex drive.
@puppylove Really HATED my formerly strong libido as a young man , especially as a serving soldier , so really want it totally gone , you are right about male menopause , still quite muscular , but the definition is not what it was & a bit more midsection weight , so you are right , my T is falling away , I would like the T fueled drive & energy , but WITHOUT desiring women & sex.
@FatherJack "testosterone levels ( THE sex drive fuel )"
^^ Nope. Read my opinion for more on this.
Long story made short: • In MEN, sex drive is mostly affected by ESTROGEN levels. As long as testosterone is not super low, it doesn't have too much of an effect. • In WOMEN, sex drive is mostly affected by TESTOSTERONE levels. As long as estrogen is not near zero, and as long as progesterone is not sky high, those two things don't have too much of an effect.
__
You are right about the negative socialization part.
@scrambledagain "Those women at the top peaks are called "Unicorns" for a reason"
^^ Still not understanding the point of the analogy dude. You're thinking of "women at the top peaks"... but, nope. You are still thinking in boy terms -- you're thinking of someone like Donnie, who loves ALL food, but with an even *greater* appetite.
Think about the analogy again. If someone is a "foodie", their enjoyment depends on the food and the chef, as much as on themselves. If someone is a food snob, their enjoyment is limited to the RIGHT foods.
Ironically, the snobbiest food snobs will derive enjoyment from even FEWER foods -- because their tastes are so refined.
Similarly... Our sexual experiences depend not only on ourselves, but on having the right lover (s), too. And, like the foodies... the MOST sexually driven women are often the ones who are MOST picky about their lovers. Like, if I had to design a long-term partner at the long-term partner factory... I'd trade off LOTS of other
traits for the "good lover" trait. Honestly, I would trade off EVERY other form of compatibility -- except certain things that have core importance for raising children together -- in order to keep that one, if that's what was necessary. (In other words, if it was "great lover whose personality doesn't fit with mine" versus "boring/bad lover whose personality fits perfectly with mine"... I'll go with door number one. The second guy and I can be friends, though.) Less sexually driven women wouldn't make that trade to the extent I would -- so, overall (especially in long-term relationships) they'll be open to a bigger variety of guys.
__
Also dude... don't take this the wrong way, but... if you actually LIKE sex with prostitutes, and if you really WANT to do all sorts of group blablablabla with all and sundry... then, you probably aren't a very good lover. O_____O
Yep, I went there.
Those things just say that sex doesn't have a *personal* element for you, pretty much at all.
@redeyemindtricks Hmmm , so toxic social conditioning ( BOTH genders get bashed for being sexual ) is the REAL cause of female asexuality / low libido? Maybe I've trained myself to " shut down " in that department too? As usual , good points. If you are OK with that , will add you on here
"we just learned in class that the high testosterone levels are what cause high sex drive tho"
^^ True in women, and true in hypogonadal or low-testosterone men. Once the levels get past low-average (like 400-500 ng/dl), there is NO increase in libido as testosterone levels get higher.
I mean, if you know any men who take steroids, just ask them about it. Exogenous steroids raise testosterone levels (temporarily) to absolutely CRAZY levels -- like, several thousand ng/dl -- but still don't cause sex drive to go nuts. In fact, a lot of these guys take anti-aromatase drugs, which make their estrogen levels drop to near zero... and that KILLS their sex drive (... and their ability to get and maintain erections, too).
It's actually a common problem with men in the bodybuilding/fitness sphere. They don't get labs done on the reg, so they don't know what the problem is... and, yep, they have testosterone of 2000-4000 ng/dl (= like 4-6 times normal levels), estrogen ≈0, and NO sex drive.
Ok... so my six pack is sub par and probably not a good lover because I like sleeping with different people (and trying for different sexual scenarios). So you kind of obliterated all swingers, porn stars and everyone else who doesn't have a monogamous outlook. Interesting. Women are FUCK hard to please, but you break the mold... damn.
Ok. Fuck analogies. Men, generally, have a higher libido and are more sexual than women. The evidence is EVERYWHERE and testosterone does play a part. You can't use steroids as an example. Men's systems does all whacky shit because it compensates for the unnatural boost in T including producing less natural testosterone and increasing estrogen. But fuck all that...
Evidence everywhere. I am a bad lover (I admit that)... why? Because my last girlfriends were so fucking asexual that me fucking a couch would have been more rock n roll. I wouldn't believe women like sex at all if I didn't read about it...
@redeyemindtricks... and go out my way to look for it. Its unarguable. Some women LOVE sex and I have met those. But the are few. The rest are bleh. many are fucking stone cold. I have only met like 2 dudes who couldn't give a shit about sex. And even they, in my opinion, are lying to themselves.
... and the mere fact that you don't know what I am talking about already proves a few things:
1) You don't have a guys libido. 2) You don't understand how that libido drives us. 3) You are limited to sex with love only... not casual, fun fucks. Which makes a guy like me, who isn't good with women, already ahead of you. I can have both (even though the love one eludes me more) 4) Because I do my best to go for these things, whether it be through BDSM, prozzies, group, swinger, porn etc, makes me far more a better lover than Captain Monogamous. 5) This makes me far more potent than women in the game (since I have done the hard yards where you women get it served on a plate).
@Rissyanne lol I don't know, why do I think a blue whale is the largest mammal on the planet? Because it is. Women don't get that men have to work for sex. You are the receivers and choosers. You can give me any environment, and that fact is proved in abundance. There was even an experiment where a girl dressed as a guy to see what it was like being a guy and the main thing she noticed? How women do not acknowledge a males existence... unless he works for that attention. I see it in all my social circles, read about it, you see it etc. Women just have to choose sex and she will get it. A man diesnt have this.
I would bet my car that if you and I put up a profile on adult friend finder and both request sex, you will get, hands down, by far, more men msg'ing you than women going for me. I've seen this happen in real life to a 45 yr old woman who I met. She had over a hundred requests. I had 2. I'm 33 with a 6 pack! You get the picture?
I disagree with the salary part. If woman is on the same position as her male colleague, most likely she get paid less. She also must working harder to gets job she wants.
Excellent post. I'm all for equal rights, equal opportunities and equal responsibilities but not equal outcomes. We all bring a different set of skills to the table and have different preferences and goals for our lives. Equality before the law should be a given but it isn't. Women actually have more rights than men do.
Feminists agenda isn't about equality; it's about domination and subjugation of men to women.
"I'm all for equal rights, equal opportunities and equal responsibilities" then you are for the feminist ideology "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."
@madhatters4 I'm for egalitarianism not feminism. Feminism may have started out about gaining equal rights etc. but it's clearly not about that any more. IF it were about "equal rights" then they'd be pushing for equality in the family court system and there would be more joint custody instead of 90% full custody to the mother. It's all about power.. nothing more.
"they'd be pushing for equality in the family court system and there would be more joint custody instead of 90% full custody to the mother. It's all about power.. nothing more."
can you honestly say they aren't? and because it isn't just is that really feminism's fault or the fault of our court system (which of course isn't dominated by women or feminism).
our court system is based on age old sexism that a mother is the best person to raise a child. a lot of this stems from the fact that it is believed that a child can't be raised without a mother. of course this is false but it is not the fault of feminism as it has been the case in our court system for nearly a century.
egalitarianism and feminism are the same thing. feminism focuses on the female cause they've been historically under represented. however we cannot say feminism is about power because much like many movements it has many arms pursuing different agendas. i know plenty of feminist. in fact most women i know are...
... none want power over men but simply want equal treatment with men. i think it's important, like the vocal minority in any realm not to be swayed to think that something is something based on the people who shout the loudest. conservative white people aren't racist regardless of the loud minority who say the hate mexicans, distrust blacks, or want muslims out of the country. it is simply a loud minority. BLM is not a violent group but rather a group with a very small minority of people who are loud about police violence and rioting.
if feminist was what many believe it is today walking down the street would be an experience of hate for men. if conservative politics is what many believe it is then minorities should fear stepping out of their house. if BLM is really what many believe it is police would be scared as shit to go to work.
the simple fact is we walk among conversatives, BLM, and feminists daily and don't know. they are those with an inoffensive belief
Since when has anyone said "men and women are equal" and literally meant "equal physically"? They mean men and women should be equal socially, economically and politically. This take is equivalent to one titled "Black and Whites Are NOT Equal: Here are some differences" then listing things like black people have wider noses and white people are taller. Means nothing because equality is about rights not physical equalness.
you are really saying the reason that women get less pay is that we choose jobs with less pay. that wasn't even our choice to begin with, before we were not even allowed to become doctors, and nurses and midwives were some of the only jobs in the medical field that women were allowed to do. no shit we are mentally and physically different but to blame the pay gap on women and say that it was our choice is a terrible argument. clearly your blind, because there is so much bias in pay and hiring for women in the workplace and women-dominated industries have so much less pay because there is so much sexism in the workplace.

Also when jobs are higher up like CEO, all of them are paid differently depending on the company. And there is only one CEO. So you can't really compare things like this.
Where they live is a major factor. Which company they work for. There is way too many factors.

@Thisperson98 Industry and location are also controlled for in the link posted above.
Yea the industry, not the individual company. Like I said, the top positions in a company only has one person each. And each get paid differently and you can't compare other companies. Because each company pays differently.

Some woul be way above the mean, some way below and some in between. Like super waves with troughs and peaks. Those women at the top peaks are called "Unicorns" for a reason. They are pretty rare.
... and even if women did like sex as much as men generally (which is bullshit of the highest order... I would believe In real life dragons before that fantasy)...
@redeyemindtricks... they certainly do not have rock n roll sex as much as men. Fuck that's why men have to PAY women to get naked in porn while dudes will do it for free. Like women don't get naughty like men want unless you pay for that shit.
@redeyemindtricks Respectfully ( because I believe you are worth respecting !! ) disagree !! Only a minority of women are more sexual than men ( I'm not very sexually driven anymore & am VERY happy with that , I'm a single dad , which = single / celibate life ) , this is due to testosterone levels ( THE sex drive fuel ) brain wiring & very sex negative , repressive social conditioning. I do agree with you in that a man should learn to be a skilled lover , I always made sure I got my past partners off , but there were too many that were just frigid " cold fish " , that never orgasmed ! The OP agrees that men have much higher sex drives than women , this is a big disadvantage for men. Women are much less attracted to men overall , than vice versa.
@FatherJack it's true the men go through a form of menopause so that could be what your experiencing. Your testosterone levels lower, therefore lowering your sex drive.
@puppylove Really HATED my formerly strong libido as a young man , especially as a serving soldier , so really want it totally gone , you are right about male menopause , still quite muscular , but the definition is not what it was & a bit more midsection weight , so you are right , my T is falling away , I would like the T fueled drive & energy , but WITHOUT desiring women & sex.
@FatherJack "testosterone levels ( THE sex drive fuel )"
^^ Nope. Read my opinion for more on this.
Long story made short:
• In MEN, sex drive is mostly affected by ESTROGEN levels. As long as testosterone is not super low, it doesn't have too much of an effect.
• In WOMEN, sex drive is mostly affected by TESTOSTERONE levels. As long as estrogen is not near zero, and as long as progesterone is not sky high, those two things don't have too much of an effect.

You are right about the negative socialization part.
@redeyemindtricks we just learned in class that the high testosterone levels are what cause high sex drive tho.
@scrambledagain "Those women at the top peaks are called "Unicorns" for a reason"
^^ Still not understanding the point of the analogy dude.
You're thinking of "women at the top peaks"... but, nope. You are still thinking in boy terms -- you're thinking of someone like Donnie, who loves ALL food, but with an even *greater* appetite.
Think about the analogy again.
If someone is a "foodie", their enjoyment depends on the food and the chef, as much as on themselves.
If someone is a food snob, their enjoyment is limited to the RIGHT foods.
Ironically, the snobbiest food snobs will derive enjoyment from even FEWER foods -- because their tastes are so refined.
Similarly...
Our sexual experiences depend not only on ourselves, but on having the right lover (s), too.
And, like the foodies... the MOST sexually driven women are often the ones who are MOST picky about their lovers.
Like, if I had to design a long-term partner at the long-term partner factory... I'd trade off LOTS of other
traits for the "good lover" trait. Honestly, I would trade off EVERY other form of compatibility -- except certain things that have core importance for raising children together -- in order to keep that one, if that's what was necessary. (In other words, if it was "great lover whose personality doesn't fit with mine" versus "boring/bad lover whose personality fits perfectly with mine"... I'll go with door number one. The second guy and I can be friends, though.)
Less sexually driven women wouldn't make that trade to the extent I would -- so, overall (especially in long-term relationships) they'll be open to a bigger variety of guys.

Also dude... don't take this the wrong way, but... if you actually LIKE sex with prostitutes, and if you really WANT to do all sorts of group blablablabla with all and sundry... then, you probably aren't a very good lover.
O_____O
Yep, I went there.
Those things just say that sex doesn't have a *personal* element for you, pretty much at all.
@redeyemindtricks Hmmm , so toxic social conditioning ( BOTH genders get bashed for being sexual ) is the REAL cause of female asexuality / low libido? Maybe I've trained myself to " shut down " in that department too? As usual , good points. If you are OK with that , will add you on here
"we just learned in class that the high testosterone levels are what cause high sex drive tho"
^^ True in women, and true in hypogonadal or low-testosterone men. Once the levels get past low-average (like 400-500 ng/dl), there is NO increase in libido as testosterone levels get higher.
I mean, if you know any men who take steroids, just ask them about it. Exogenous steroids raise testosterone levels (temporarily) to absolutely CRAZY levels -- like, several thousand ng/dl -- but still don't cause sex drive to go nuts.
In fact, a lot of these guys take anti-aromatase drugs, which make their estrogen levels drop to near zero... and that KILLS their sex drive (... and their ability to get and maintain erections, too).
It's actually a common problem with men in the bodybuilding/fitness sphere. They don't get labs done on the reg, so they don't know what the problem is... and, yep, they have testosterone of 2000-4000 ng/dl (= like 4-6 times normal levels), estrogen ≈0, and NO sex drive.
@redeyemindtricks can't believe you went there lol
Ok... so my six pack is sub par and probably not a good lover because I like sleeping with different people (and trying for different sexual scenarios). So you kind of obliterated all swingers, porn stars and everyone else who doesn't have a monogamous outlook. Interesting. Women are FUCK hard to please, but you break the mold... damn.
Ok. Fuck analogies. Men, generally, have a higher libido and are more sexual than women. The evidence is EVERYWHERE and testosterone does play a part. You can't use steroids as an example. Men's systems does all whacky shit because it compensates for the unnatural boost in T including producing less natural testosterone and increasing estrogen. But fuck all that...
Evidence everywhere. I am a bad lover (I admit that)... why? Because my last girlfriends were so fucking asexual that me fucking a couch would have been more rock n roll. I wouldn't believe women like sex at all if I didn't read about it...
@redeyemindtricks... and go out my way to look for it. Its unarguable. Some women LOVE sex and I have met those. But the are few. The rest are bleh. many are fucking stone cold. I have only met like 2 dudes who couldn't give a shit about sex. And even they, in my opinion, are lying to themselves.
... and the mere fact that you don't know what I am talking about already proves a few things:
1) You don't have a guys libido.
2) You don't understand how that libido drives us.
3) You are limited to sex with love only... not casual, fun fucks. Which makes a guy like me, who isn't good with women, already ahead of you. I can have both (even though the love one eludes me more)
4) Because I do my best to go for these things, whether it be through BDSM, prozzies, group, swinger, porn etc, makes me far more a better lover than Captain Monogamous.
5) This makes me far more potent than women in the game (since I have done the hard yards where you women get it served on a plate).
Why do you think women can get sex easier?
@Rissyanne lol I don't know, why do I think a blue whale is the largest mammal on the planet? Because it is. Women don't get that men have to work for sex. You are the receivers and choosers. You can give me any environment, and that fact is proved in abundance. There was even an experiment where a girl dressed as a guy to see what it was like being a guy and the main thing she noticed? How women do not acknowledge a males existence... unless he works for that attention. I see it in all my social circles, read about it, you see it etc. Women just have to choose sex and she will get it. A man diesnt have this.
I would bet my car that if you and I put up a profile on adult friend finder and both request sex, you will get, hands down, by far, more men msg'ing you than women going for me. I've seen this happen in real life to a 45 yr old woman who I met. She had over a hundred requests. I had 2. I'm 33 with a 6 pack! You get the picture?
I agree with all except the pay gap it's been proven false and not correct more times then I can shake a stick at in the US.
Actually if you read it she explains it. And she is basically calling it a myth.
@Thisperson98 What calling the gender pay gap a myth?
It is statistically correct to say men earn more money, but she explains why that happens. She said it is not because they are a man or a woman.
The link kinda disproves it if you look at it. it explains the real reason behind it
Well it's late here so I'll have to look at it another time but I'll check it out.
I honestly completely agree with you there. Well said :)
I disagree with the salary part. If woman is on the same position as her male colleague, most likely she get paid less. She also must working harder to gets job she wants.
Look at the link I provided
I disagree it depends on the personality some men are more emotional than females.
true
So I'm guessing you don't mind a guy yelling at you or beating you either. Traditional values, after all.
Excellent post. I'm all for equal rights, equal opportunities and equal responsibilities but not equal outcomes. We all bring a different set of skills to the table and have different preferences and goals for our lives. Equality before the law should be a given but it isn't. Women actually have more rights than men do.
Feminists agenda isn't about equality; it's about domination and subjugation of men to women.
"I'm all for equal rights, equal opportunities and equal responsibilities"
then you are for the feminist ideology "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."
@madhatters4 I'm for egalitarianism not feminism. Feminism may have started out about gaining equal rights etc. but it's clearly not about that any more. IF it were about "equal rights" then they'd be pushing for equality in the family court system and there would be more joint custody instead of 90% full custody to the mother. It's all about power.. nothing more.
"they'd be pushing for equality in the family court system and there would be more joint custody instead of 90% full custody to the mother. It's all about power.. nothing more."
can you honestly say they aren't? and because it isn't just is that really feminism's fault or the fault of our court system (which of course isn't dominated by women or feminism).
our court system is based on age old sexism that a mother is the best person to raise a child. a lot of this stems from the fact that it is believed that a child can't be raised without a mother. of course this is false but it is not the fault of feminism as it has been the case in our court system for nearly a century.
egalitarianism and feminism are the same thing. feminism focuses on the female cause they've been historically under represented. however we cannot say feminism is about power because much like many movements it has many arms pursuing different agendas. i know plenty of feminist. in fact most women i know are...
... none want power over men but simply want equal treatment with men. i think it's important, like the vocal minority in any realm not to be swayed to think that something is something based on the people who shout the loudest. conservative white people aren't racist regardless of the loud minority who say the hate mexicans, distrust blacks, or want muslims out of the country. it is simply a loud minority. BLM is not a violent group but rather a group with a very small minority of people who are loud about police violence and rioting.
if feminist was what many believe it is today walking down the street would be an experience of hate for men. if conservative politics is what many believe it is then minorities should fear stepping out of their house. if BLM is really what many believe it is police would be scared as shit to go to work.
the simple fact is we walk among conversatives, BLM, and feminists daily and don't know. they are those with an inoffensive belief
Since when has anyone said "men and women are equal" and literally meant "equal physically"? They mean men and women should be equal socially, economically and politically. This take is equivalent to one titled "Black and Whites Are NOT Equal: Here are some differences" then listing things like black people have wider noses and white people are taller. Means nothing because equality is about rights not physical equalness.
you are really saying the reason that women get less pay is that we choose jobs with less pay. that wasn't even our choice to begin with, before we were not even allowed to become doctors, and nurses and midwives were some of the only jobs in the medical field that women were allowed to do. no shit we are mentally and physically different but to blame the pay gap on women and say that it was our choice is a terrible argument. clearly your blind, because there is so much bias in pay and hiring for women in the workplace and women-dominated industries have so much less pay because there is so much sexism in the workplace.
