Davis, I can give you an example from my own life. The data supports this too. You know I’m a single mom with a special needs son who needs me in ways that I have to be there for him after school, evenings, weekends…I have been presented with many amazing opportunities to make a six-figure income or even higher. I have the intelligence ability and…[Read more]

I’m really fascinated by your claim that gender wage disparity isnt ALL about gender. I’m curious what possible factor outside of gender would explain gender discrimination.

IQ, personality traits, personal family life style preferences, learning disabilities or lack there of, mental health diagnoses or lack there of, motivation, lea…[Read more]

Here is the question:

If full equal pay of for all ages is not on the agenda at all (won’t be brought up for years) and there is a referendum on equal pay for men and women over 45 (in comparable positions) would you support such a law? Would you vote yes?

I would read the bill in full detail, look for hidden agendas and ulterior motives. I w…[Read more]

And the men who “end up” in those same jobs still tend to be paid more than the women who do.

Indeed Reg. Your guy, @Simon, is only half right. Not only do they get fewer high level jobs (even the unmarried career dedicators) but also make less in those jobs than non-women do.

None of this is to say that men don’t deserve the salaries they get. W…[Read more]

but they tend to end up in less high-paying jobs…….

And the men who “end up” in those same jobs still tend to be paid more than the women who do.

Jordan Peterson maintains that it’s a jobs gap rather than a pay gap.  I.e. women are paid the same as men, but they tend to end up in less high-paying jobs.

Both of you have spectacularly avoided the question. Ivy…I’m really fascinated by your claim that gender wage disparity isnt ALL about gender. I’m curious what possible factor outside of gender would explain gender discrimination.

Robert I don’t know what your answer is. Your response is entirely made up of your own personal experience in one…[Read more]

If you are a manager for a large US corporation you would know there is an assigned pay range for each job classification and the place in that range a worker falls is based on performance and years of service per company policy. If you have a minority that performs well you have hit the proverbial gold mine as a manger.

Now for my former…[Read more]

@Davis The pay gap that exists between men and women is not only because of gender. There are so many other factors involved. It’s really a myth that needs to be thrown OUT for there to be any meaningful discussion on the issue

I wonder if Hollywood would ever make a movie about this case in Egypt? Would they dare cast a non-Muslim as the presiding judge in the court?

Kara, I have no problem with a hetero guy playing a gay role and I personally don’t know anyone else who does either. I only hear this kind of anger from an online part of the LGTB+ “community”. I often am amazed by how eagerly they present their arguments as representative of the “community as a whole”. I agree that it would be wonderful if LGTB+…[Read more]

Laverne Cox: She played the part of a female inmate in Orange is the New Black. She also played the part of the inmate when she was a he and was a firemen. So Laverne Cox got to play the parts of a LGBQT transexual as a female and a male. which is great!

You see I remember Laverne Cox when she was living at a welfare hotel on 28th street and…[Read more]

If you want to completely miss the point, yes. You seem to be having great difficulty with recognizing the importance of representation, and how relevant life experience can enhance an actor’s performance and the input they can give.

To be totally consistent and ethically pure, should Director David Lynch have looked for a severely deformed person to play the role of the “elephant man” in the movie Elephant Man?

What does “Oh yeah! Laverne Cox” mean?
