Should men be paid more than women (again)?

Overheal

Just thinking about this He Drives She Dies business.

If the court upholds the precedent (which, it won't. Unless Ireland's Y2K clock reads 0009 AD) then it opens the way for carte blanche discriminations based on statistical findings.

For instance (approximated figures) the average Female can lift 25 pounds. The average Male, 50 pounds. This makes the Male a more efficient worker. I dont care that I'm only asking them to carry paperwork - they will be able to carry more paperwork before becoming fatigued, or breaking a nail. I can present cold hard evidence that women break more nails than men on the job. Its true!

Similarly to all the above BS, when youre just talking about this Pricing Discrimination on Insurance - that means the Cost of Living for a Male is going to be markedly higher than the Cost of Living for a Female.

On that, do you think it would be justified to pay male workers more money because they have to pay more for insurance, and this drives up their cost of living?

/and yes - im taking the piss to prove a point.

Well, as the saying goes "A womans work is never done".
So it only stands to reason they should be paid less.

They can do what they like as soon as we kill affirmative action.

Yes we work harder and have bigger cocks.

Adamcp898

Yes, yes we should

But not for any of your reasons, because we're better :pac:

jumpguy

Yes we should, we're atleast 2x faster at doing anything than females.

Ohh I can't wait for the wimminz to get here...

EDIT: Oh crap I thought the poll was should men get paid more than women not vice versa! Scratch one yes.

It would help if you posed the same question in the poll as in the thread title.

Poll is giving middle finger to lifeboat feminists!

narwog81

from my browsing of the PI and relationship issues forum it seems that women still expect men to pay their way while on dates...

more reasons for increased pay:D

jester77

Men require a higher daily calorie intake, that doesn't come cheap!

If I take some kind of weightlifting test can I be paid the same?

Very misleading title Overheal, your thread topic is:

"Should men be paid more than women"

yet your poll is :

"Should women be paid more than men".

We're higher maintenance so we need more munnies.

I dunno what kinda fukn eejits start these bullsh*t threads.

oh nice lets over turn the ruling which had to be yet again dicated by the eu courts to bring about the equal pay act cos this is such a backward country and all the hard work it took to get that to happen cos a bunch of guys don't like those adds.

Personally I think those adds suck ass and ye should all complain about them asap rather then blathering on about getting rid of equal play with no gender bias, let try and move things forward in this fúcking country not backwards for a change.

WTF?
No.

Thats where it all started going wrong!!! :pac::D

themadchef

We may only be able to carry 25lbs Vs the male 50lb but you can bet your ass we are multi tasking while we are doing it.

In fact, to hell with equality, i want more than my male counterpart!

bigeasyeah

I voted NO for absolutely no reason.

pablomakaveli

Women can have multiple orgasms. Men get more money to make up for that. FACT*


*may not be true.

Daroxtar

Men have to put up with women. We deserve more for that. Its aural danger money. Time and a half.

wexican

Yes we should.

NickNolte

Women who are good at their jobs should get paid the same as equally talented men and vice versa. Just to simplify like.

MmmmmCheese

*Burns bra*


Ya well.......Women smell nicer!

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

I worked in a bank, one of the managers asked me to lift some boxes with files, because the women were not allowed to lift them, beats me why. Pretty sexist though. Well if a man is expected to do more work why not pay him more?

But there is gender bias.

I thought I disclaimed the blatant sarcasm in my OP?

Just further underlining how wrong not only that these ads are, but the Insurance system in general. I have no plans to abolish equal pay for equal work.

It should be about the individual, not their gender.

look at athletics, men are better built then woman and can work harder.

If women can have cheaper car insurance, then let us men have better wages!!

Haha way to give away a golden business idea. These women would be better paying for the service. Artificial insemination and all that. To the Shootersf cave!

(This post is intended as humourous, though it may not be funny. I am not actually thinking of starting such a business. Please only over-react with this in mind)

it hast to be after 5-6 months, might be a bit hard to hide if you want to fight.

funny true story, a mate of mate was out one night a few months back and some local girls were given her dirty looks. they started on her, one of the girls shouted at my mates mate "dont hit her shes bleedin pregnant!"

In All Fairness

No. Both should be paid the same. But everyone has to realise that you can't change natural law. We live in a financial/worth society. A man wants to believe that he is the protector. He cannot believe this if it is his wife who the family depend on for breadwinning. This may seem stupid and I have no doubt it is due to the frail male ego, but the fact remains that that frail male ego is there. It is why cool female doctors can't get together with cool male nurses.

Equality is right. It is our belief. But it will never change the fact that the more successful a man becomes, the wider becomes his field of prospective partners, while the more successful a woman becomes the more hers narrows. And it is not just the male psyche.But I'll let the wimminz respond on that.:)

If ever there was a poll that exposes the demographic of boards users....


There was a big study done on this before. On average men are 13% better educated than a woman in the same position, more likely to work late, more likely to travel for work, less likely to call in sick and take less time off. Who would you pay more?

That makes no sense.
Why are these men better educated than the women who all work in the same positions? The qualifications these men have can't actually be necessary for the job in question, because lesser educated women can do it. So the employers are missing a trick there, they should sack all these educated men who can only do the same job as the lesser educated women and pay the women less than they were paying the over educated men.
Or is that too sensible?

Blitzkrieger

I suppose it can only mean that the men have extra qualifications. Typically someone with a MSc will get paid more for basically the same job as someone with a BSc. The thinking is that they'd be working to a higher standard and more skills to call on when they encounter a problem.

easyontheeye

yes... as a majority of women at some stage will want to raise a family and take a few years of work... of course men should be paid more... we will have to be the provider for this

Wagon

No.

Mr. Mann and Ms. Beefcurtains do the same job - should be paid the same.

Insurance being higher for men is simply because insurance companies are **** who paint everyone with the same brush. It's not the employers fault, it's ours lads. I mean, who let the birds out of the kitchen and allow them to get jobs in the first place? We have only ourselves to blame

narwog81

men have to be the higher earner. otherwise they would not be able to "keep" their wives in the style they believe they are entitled to and the institution of marriage would be irreparably damaged as women seek other means to bleed money from men.
