No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Men make more money because they earn more money. They DESERVE more money. Not because they NEED more money. Women are dead investments in the workplace; that is why they do not deserve as much money as men. That is why they do not make as much money as men. You can try to pull this artificial need bullshit all you want. You know what, tell your employer, the next time you ask for a raise, use your argument to get the raise. Good luck keeping your job. They deserve more money? Why are women a dead investment? Can you at least elaborate on that? It sounds pretty superficial and stereotypical to me. And I don't need to talk to my employer about a raise.. Last time I got $500 for a concert and I played for 10 minutes. ;) And of course I'm not going to use that reason to get a raise. I was basing my argument on the original one. "Men pay for dates, so they deserve more money." Complete bullshit. QUOTE due to the fact that they have babies. Fact? I'm not having kids. Not only me, but lots of other women as well. |

Men deserve more money because pound for pound, they produce more. End of story. Sure, some women are exceptions, but men are naturally better at the jobs that count. I'm sure you're going to throw a tantrum about it though.
Women are dead investments because they have babies and are put out of commission for months. Men don't. I don't care if you don't plan on having a baby, we're talking in general. It's a fact that women have babies and men don't. If you have a problem with this, study human reproduction. QUOTE And I don't need to talk to my employer about a raise..

It's not all fun and games for guys either. They have to pay more money on car insurance, even though women get into more accidents than men. Face it, women are simply not as valuable as men. There's a reason why baby girls are more often aborted than baby boys. |

There's a reason why baby girls are more often aborted than baby boys. men produce more than women? and we only bare babies? and, apparently, we're a dead investment. ... women bear children for 9 months... and sometimes, that 9 months was a dead investment because the kids turn into criminals, sexists, racists, bums, etc. just a question, are you actually sexist? or do you play devil's advocate to piss off people? yeah... so women can't work for a few months. but there are more male criminals. more homeless men. but no matter what i argue, you'll say women are somehow inferior. more females are also applying for college now. in a few years, it might be more balanced. |

Men just deserve more more often than women. |

So, is it about the fact that women have children and thats the reason why they shouldn't get paid equally? Why should that prevent women getting paid the same since someone has to look after children and what not. Oh and to add to that, the fact that men are generally stronger.
Too be honest, who cares if men are stronger, doesn't mean there better. You know, they say only the strongest survive and all that jazz, what it really means is the one who can adapt and who has the smarts survives. The same applies when working. Employers are looking for ability, talent, etc. Whether your male, female, black, white, green, whatever. That doesn't matter. What really matters is your abilities, your specializations, etc. |

Sexual equality should be a reality. Emphasis on "should be". But, it isn't. It's idealistic to believe that it ever will be. And there's a logical reason for that. It's all about the money.
Constitutionally, men and women are supposed to be guaranteed equal treatment. Plain and simple. But, even with the letter of the law on our side, I don't anticipate women receiving equal treatment or payment in the workforce any time soon. America and the rest of the world are collectively a male dominated society. That's the way it's been traditionally for centuries. No matter how much women accomplish, there will always be that stereotype that women can't handle the same situations as men, especially in the corporate world. And, to a certain extent, that may be true. However, I'm of the opinion that women just handle a lot of situations differently than men do. If you look at surveys taken of registered voters in the US, they show that women are generally more likely to vote on issues regarding families, social justice, the environment, and other issues regarding ethics whereas men tend to vote on money, security, and warfare issues. Men and women are inherently different in that women are more in tune to the common good whereas men are more concerned with individual gain and success. Women are generally more likely to follow their heart as opposed to their head and could potentially favor ethics over profit. Men follow their head and usually make more single-minded individualistic decisions, benefiting both themselves and their companies simultaneously. It really depends on the philosophy of the companies that are doing the employing. Statistically there are FAR less women in high power positions in Fortune 500 corporations than there are men, simply because men are the ones that get the big jobs and make the big money without getting caught up in their emotions. Is this necessarily fair? No. But, this is a capitalist society, so a lot of things are inherently unfair. However I do think that society is taking steps against gender stereotypes. With more and more men becoming "stay at home dads", there's less of a stigma about putting emotions, personal relationships and family first. It's not coming any time soon, not in the next 50 years at least, but hey! Optimists might say that women might ACTUALLY see true workplace equality in the next century. |

There ya go. I'm right. No you're not. My mom had to work AND spend most of the day at the hospital with my grandmother. And how are you right when I just gave you one example of a female with a bigger salary than a man? But still, the fact that my dad made less is irrelevant since his job was way different. QUOTE At least I'm not ignorant. Based on your responses, I'd say you are. But whatever - it's a debate. P.S. I'll stop replying because I see no point. You did make a few valuable points, but I still stand by my view, and I'm sure you do too. Ciao! |

church says men should be the head of the family, while the women should embody the body of the family- being submissive to the man's ultimate decision. hmmmm i guess that works?

Now say they went on a date. Chances are, the girl wouldn't spend a dime and the boy would be spending all of his hard-earned money. I don't know what dates you've been going on, but really, hardly anyone does that anymore. I've been on many dates, but I've NEVER had the guy pay the bill. Even when he has a lot more money than me. And what about lesbian relationships? There's no guy to pay for their dates. Men have more needs for money than women do. Men fundamentally have a need to spend more money than women do. No, they don't. This point is overused in this forum, but I bring it up anyways. What about single mothers? They have FAR more needs for money than guys do. Women have to pay for everything that a guy has to pay for and more. I doubt you could find a single thing that men have to pay for that women don't. (or at least don't have a female equivalent that they have to pay for.) Traditionally, men are the ones out working for the money while women are at home caring for the house and children. Uh huh. Right. "traditionally" meaning maybe 30 years ago. I don't know about prissy little Carmel where everyone's so filthy rich that people don't have to work, but where I live, hardly anyone follows that stereotype. In my lifetime, I have known maybe... 5? mothers who do that. Most women work. Most women work harder than men do. Most women are far more productive than men. Quit f**king living in the 20's or some shit like that and see that the world is changing. Women everywhere are proving that they can do anything a man can do and usually can do it better. New Question: Male =/= Female So why are people trying to make them equal? You're right. Male =/= Female. Female > Male. end of story. Now I propose, men are smarter than women. That one really made me laugh. Seriously. I almost pissed myself I was laughing so hard. Please tell me you were joking. "Generally, men are physically stronger than women." And then you can go on. "Generally, men are smarter than women." "Generally, men are more humorous than women." And to be fair, "Generally, women are better at nurturing than men." You're right. Generally, men are physically stronger than women. but Generally, women are smarter. Generally, women are funnier. Generally, women are more artistic. Generally, women work harder. Generally, women are more productive. Generally, women are more emotionally intelligent. Generally, men are more egotistical. Generally, men are more violent. Generally, men are lazy bastards. Lets say apples sell for $4, oranges for $3.25, bananas for $4.25, and grapes for $4.75. Now lets say that Men are represented by Store A and Women are represented by Store B Store A has 100 grapes. Store B only has 50 grapes. Thus Store A feels superior. After all, grapes are the most valuable fruit, and Store A has the most grapes. But Store B also has 50 apples, 50 oranges, and 50 bananas. Assuming both stores sell all their fruit, Store B will make over 1.7 times as much as Store A. And that's not even taking into consideration that if given the choice, someone would much rather buy their fruit from Store B, seeing as it sells a much wider variety. And besides, Store A has a lot of rotten grapes mixed in... |

(ww2, police, if your house is being robbed (i have never fought anyone besides my brother, which was for fun)). i consider myself very emotionally intelligent, thankyou, and i can see that you're probably agitated, frustrated, oh and haughty. i do agree with you that women work about the same as men and that women can do anything a man can do to some extent. But a man can also do anything a women can do to some extent Female =\= Male Which is better? fuk if i know |
