Time to break the glass on this video again.

Is she hot?

"Similar job" or "same job"?

Anyway, if those men didn't spend so much time down the pub with their mates or going out playing golf, they might earn more money.

Don't worry, she'll start having children and fall behind

The gender gap was invented by self entitled lazy women that think they deserve the same pay for doing half the work of a man

I was told by someone else that I was gender fluid - I had to look it up!!!!!

All I did was ask what Love Island was and said I'd been the match the weekend before. Apparently women must fit into the boxes other women create lol!!

A girl I know is on far more money than any guy that I know in a similar role. She negotiated very well, in fairness to her, but it is an absolute disgrace that she is earning more than men doing the same job as her!

:mad:

Obvious troll is obvious.

FFS people should be paid on their ability and skill to do the job at hand and not because of what dangles or doesn't dangle between their legs!

I agree it was invented but I wouldn’t necessarily agree that it was invented by lazy women who think they deserve the same pay as men. It’s more a feature of the current wave of feminism we’re going through.

If a woman’s a skilled enough negotiator to secure herself better remuneration than a man, fair play to her. However it goes bothe ways, and a man may equally negotiate himself a better deal than any woman

pleas advice

Woah, Black Betty

My workplace is currently doing a "Women on Walls" art thing, pictures of prominent women of the past.

I tried pointing out that every one of them had fought to achieve what they had, they had to be twice as good to be thought of as half as successfl.

Contrast that with another campaign to make it "easier" for women to get into the same industry. Basically reducing every single metric to make mediocrity the new standard.

We've gone backwards as a society and definitely as a gender. Countess Markiewcz has a portrait in my building. Fairly certain she never spent the Rising whining about men like some. That's who we should aspire to.

It's a common theme. Have a look around a few threads. It's probably the same few men in all the threads but they are livid with life. It's pretty sad really.

Here! What about the wome... Just messing.

But I hate to sound like a feckin' hippy, but why can't we all just shrug off the labels and take each other at face value... maaaaaaaaaannn!

I have no idea who invented the Ignore function - but God bless him/her/zer/zim/etc.

Ah sure I'm only a woman hating woman with my internalised misogyny and that - sure what would I be knowing about that lol!!!!

Alright - who's for doing Helen Reddy ??? Not in 'that' way. Not that there's anything wrong with that Elaine!
