So there's been an issue with men being paid more than women when it comes to jobs.

Say a girl and a boy around the same age worked at the same store (and were paid equally). 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. The girl would only end up spending her paycheck on herself. The point? Men have more needs for money than women do. Men fundamentally have a need to spend more money than women do.

Generally, men are paid more than women for the same jobs because, well, men have more demands for money than women do. Men want paying jobs. Women want glamorous jobs. Women never seem to demand that half of sewage workers or half of window cleaners are female.


And I'm just going to put it out there now, I don't follow any of the above, but I'm willing to debate with you anyway.

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.

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.)

QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ Apr 29 2007, 9:26 PM) *
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.

QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ Apr 29 2007, 9:26 PM) *
New Question: Male =/= Female
So why are people trying to make them equal?


You're right. Male =/= Female.
Female > Male.
end of story.

QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ Apr 29 2007, 9:26 PM) *
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.

QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ May 3 2007, 4:28 PM) *
"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...

nice to see that someone's openly sexist, i hate all the ones who try to hide it

why don't we just round up all the men and make em wear retard caps, would that solve everything for you? by the way, is it a bad thing to violently respond to all situations? (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
