BAHAHA delusional man-hater invoking the concept of facts.
Woman, you wouldn't know facts if they bit you on the nipple. Facts leave no room for speculation because they're written in stone.
What you use is random information you googled (which can be written by absolutely anyone with no real credibility to speak of), and then you twist it around to suit your delusional outlook. You're like Gemitati in that way. I don't even need to bring up CC's claim that most gay people are gay because they were sexually abused when they were young, according to some retarded site she read - which made it 100% real in her diseased mind.
Less wanking, more proper research please.click to expand

There will always be some kind of a wage gap between men and women, it's just natural, whether we like it or not and it will most likely never change, especially not in a raw capitalisitc environment such as the US where people are nothing but workforce slaves (not that Europe or Asia are any different).
Men are taught to be more aggressive and negociate harder because they have to, it's expected from them and women expect it too. Married men with children have to negociate for their families in order to provide for them. Single men have to be aggressive because they might want to have familes as well and need the financial backround to do so and the companies know their job is the No.1 priority. The governments need single men, they want them to do well because they are future tax payers and consumers and more likely to work longer than women do. Younger single women can earn higher salaries but the companies will always consider them as future moms and housewives, who have to take time off, so that might play into the whole thing. Older married women with kids can earn good money but they might have been out of their jobs for too long and the companies will use this against them.

@LadyNeptune I've opened the study, I'll read it, I'd only pull from it where I question the conclusions they pull based on interpreting stats/data. And then likely that'll just whittle into arguing if I post.
I still might post, who knows maybe I'll learn a thing or two.
But first I Want to point out here, from your 3rd or 4th post:
"But perhaps because they still bear the brunt of childcare, “only 28% of women … worked persistently full-time, year-round between 2001 and 2015,” the report found. That’s compared to 59% of men."
Even in your own excerpt that you pulled from the study you reference, that's a pretty big percentage gap in hours worked, for (the report to make) the argument "equal pay for equal work"
That alone already shakes the credibility of the report for me

Ya'll telling me that WOMEN are so weak that they can't tell their boss they need a salary increase and get some pay as other men
maybe we don't deserve equality
when has anything ever been handed
ya'll do realize that 58% of men negotiate compared to 4% women
4%
that's wack
Where are you getting those numbers?
I went to a talk on negotiations and the data presented was dastardly
Where did they get their study from?
How many people and length?
I don't know, but i dont question a researcher who has a phd and whose main career is negotiations

Gender war? What do you mean?
it was a joke for the States. probably a bad one. i have the same salary as my male bosses.
There is not a single country in the world in which gender equality is achieved.
The closest you’ll get is Iceland or Finland
All Nordic states have strong traditions in fighting gender inequality. In Swedish Parliament they don't even refer to "women" anymore but instead use "the opposite gender", as gender is a social construct.
Iceland is really not the best example out of the 5 Nordic states tho.
Thats dumb
Gender is a biological construct
Sex is a biological attribution. Gender and the roles and qualities attached to each gender are entirely socially constructed.
yeah different tribes in far flung parts of the world constructed the same gender roles and qualities
yeah sure
i swear Westerners
No. Some tribes have 5 genders, other are matriarchal and the qualities attributed to women and men are different to those given in western societies and etc.
The fact that the male human is often physically stronger than female peers is part of the reason why most societies have developed (strongly under the directions of males) in a patriarchal way and women were given roles that put them in a highly eneven position for an equal and independent life in today's environment.
So do you argue that women should be in the position they are because they are naturally designed to? Meaning that in a family, when a women gives birth she should take care of the offspring and she should have the obligation to take work leave whereas the man shouldn't have even the possibility to take an equal work leave and take as much care of the offspring as his partner, which is the situation in most countries?
Meaning that a women cannot show her face in some regions because men are naturally predisposed to be attracted to them so it is women's responsibility to not attract them by wearing makeup or showing them their body parts and if they got raped it's also their responsibility. Leading to immoderate social exclusion.
Meaning that women should be emotionally expressive, caring, sensitive but also hysterical, unable to reach analytical conclusions via a strong analysis, whereas men should be the opposite, as is the case in all western societies?
Meaning that the women should never express her opinion in front of men, especially husband and father, if the opinion is contrary to their opinions and is related to politics, religion and others, because her natural (as you argue gender is biological) status makes her incapable of thinking about these topics and reech valuable conclusions, as is the case in China and other eastern societies?
I can go on with different gender expectations in different part of the world that by your statement you deemed natural.
You're talking about oppression of the feminine, i am discussing enveloping and freeing the feminine. In fact your post was hysterical.
This comparison to men is awkward, we're not men. If God didn't want us to take care of our babies, he wouldn't give us the ability to have babies. It's extremely lucky that now both are able to parent. You know, the man doesn't need to spear a goat for you and your kids to eat.
but why didn't the woman go out and spear a goat? maybe she just didn't feel like it, and she felt fine being a stay at home mother to the kids she birthed
you know that could have also been an option

And as someone pointed out, add to the fact that female-dominated professions include childcare, teaching nursing - all paid overwhelming by TAXPAYERS, while male-oriented jobs such as IT, finance, etc. are paid for by CUSTOMERS.
Now what's that tell you?

How was my post hysterical when it was written in a very calm way I don't know but hope you'll tell me.
Female oppression is a result of gender roles and qualities and vice versa - a gender roles are result of continuous female oppression. No one is putting under question the physiological differences between sexes, what is at hand is the roles attributed to both genders which are unequal and not true. What we call masculine and feminine traits are characteristics all humans have in some degree or another. I can be a very strong, independent, intelligent, ruthless and dominant woman and that would be perfectly fine because I've chosen to make these traits dominant, and I can also be an emotional, sensitive and very caring man which is perfectly natural as well. Gender roles however, go against this normality as they create a duality between what is masculine and what is feminine leading to the exclusion of one from the other, where there are in reality two sides of the same coin we all represent individually.
It doesn't matter at all whether one or more women liked being oppressed and were satisfied by their gender roles in the past, so there is no practical point in denying or accepting your hypothesis. What matters is that there are enough women today not accepting and/or not being happy with the gender roles they are expected to conform to and therefore equality should be established.
I, as a man, also don't want to be put into men frames and simultaneously am disgusted by how women are treated even in the most developed societies. For me gender equality would be beneficial to all genders.click to expand

And I said it again - you are pathetic. With the same ridiculousness you can argue that LGBTQ+ are not discriminated and it's perfectly natural to look at them and treat them as we do.click to expand

@LadyNeptune so a wage gap exists. And the point you are trying to make is that the reason for it is because of something malicious between men and women? In your words what are the reasons for it, what are possible solutions.
Nobody's going to change their mind on either side and some are being less than diplomatic. I can read the same reports as you and analyze differently, so where are you coming from? You want to see a world where women earn just as much as men, maybe more? Same comraderie as men have, equal power in all high positions? What is the end scenario you are after

Negotiate pay better
Oh WOW
Thanks
So smart
Never thought of this
Cause I'm a female and lack that extra appendage between my legs which makes me dumb.
It's more about balls. Big balls (gutsy attitude). And some women have them bigger than other men. Same women that usually earn more than other men - while doing the same job. Tho, yes... it's more common for men to have the courage - to risk loosing their job for a bigger pay (to give their employer an ultimatum - to demand a better pay or they'll quit "even if they don't have an alternative offer - as a safety net). Same as it's more common for women - to settle till they'll find a better payed job. Companies are usually "equally greedy (be it men or women - they'll try to see if you're stupid enough to work for the minimum offer)". So yes, in this sense it sucks to be born a women - "and simply expect others to do the right thing". The business world seems to follow the law of the jungle - only the strongest make it to the top. Self-entitlement works - only if you're part of a family with big status. Even men complain when life's not fair from this point of view - tho, it's more common for women to expect special treatment (to get something without fighting for it "simply because that would be the fair approach"). That's the main issue with "modern feminism (those women that talk about equality - but expect special treatment)".click to expand
