And the anti feminist thread is a thinly veiled anti woman thread!

I love women, and women love me. I just want a fairer, more equal society for all.

Can't wait for when the Premier League clubs release their figures on gender pay gaps. I wonder if all those footballers on millions a year make more than female cleaners and admin staff.

It used to be much easier when men were men and women were women.

You know, back when men just got on with it instead of paying any attention to these silly little notions held by the fairer sex.

Must be something in the drinking water I suppose. The internet alone can’t be responsible for this decline in common sense amongst men.

Enough of the woman hating out of you.

So seeing as you make that assumptiom about the male posters here its ok for us to assume you are an old spinster living alone since she was rejected by a man many years ago?

More likely between their men’s team versus their women’s team. It’s going to raise its ugly head sooner or later. Never mind the economic rationale behind it.

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!

Well, some peopls make a good living off what dangles or doesn't dangle betweem their legs

Yoi seem to be a very bitter person, you have my pity.

Gender pay gap doesn't exist.

Your posts tell a different story. Relax yourself.

Sort of related but a couple of weeks ago, our CFO was asked about the gender pay gap in our company. He went on to say they’d looked at it and if anything there was a slight bias towards women.

He also said that “we have more women in our group than men so we’re obviously smarter than most other groups.”

To be fair, it was tongue in cheek and he didn’t mean any harm but I thought it was incredibly stupid to say it in public. Had he reversed the genders, there would have been uproar.

Comes across as being kind of patronising towards women also.

And yours tell me you are a bitter old spinster who hates men because you were once rejected.

Move on love, life goes on, let go of your hatred and you will be so much happier.

Like I said, this is another thread for the angry men! Look at the rage on this post.

Not sure the male posters here are angry merely by calling out the current wave of feminism for what it is.

If it keeps spiralling out of control like it is, men will have every right to be angry.

And level headed women too.

I've simply stated the facts. I'm offended by your post.

unless you are also saying you're the manager of all them involved (to have access to the salaries information) I would say the information you pretend you have cannot be trusted and this thread needs to be ignored.

All I can see that's happening is women are standing together, fighting to eradicate the culture where rape and sexual assaults thrive and fight for equality for all. What is wrong with that?
It's the counter movement that is spiraling out of control! From what I've seen, it's main goal is to shout at women, tell them to be quiet, they should be happy with what they've got and to ignore the huge number of assaults and harassment they get because it could be worse.

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:

negotiation is a skill, so by definition she had better skills than her co workers, thus deserved to be paid more.

in general this is the opposite in the workplace.

You need to open your eyes - and mind - dear.

There is a "gender gap" alright and it's the fact that women get off scot free from WORSE crimes than see men go down for years.

Your thoughts on the disparity between the two stories ? Note the male "perp" did not have sex whereas the female one did and the male "perp" genuinely believed the infatuated 15 year old to be 19.

The female rapist knew her sex partner was 13.

Male example - https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-england-tyne-35687974

Female example - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6010287/Young-mother-21-took-13-year-old-schoolboys-virginity-avoids-jail.html

She should have been jailed, no question.

Oh and rather chilled, occasionally angry woman here - so don't bother with your usual catchphrase.
