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

BIKINI PHOTOS!? DUMP THE TRUMP!!
Just kidding, no link there. But while you’re here, if you haven’t seen it in the general Small Talk forum, @Unseen started an interesting discussion about Tulsi Gabbard running in 2020.

Canada has had limited donations laws for a decade now. A centre-left government introduced very limited donations from both businesses (a few thousand dollars at most) and invidivudals (a few hundred). In return after each election the parties were given around $1 per vote for financing. The next government (centre-right) partially repealed this…[Read more]

I read this yesterday about them saying “No” to PAC money.

We are slowly entering an age where accepting PAC money is unacceptable for Democrat Party candidates.

LOL. I can only imagine once Earth makes contact with aliens, the outrage they will feel when humans use “animation and special effects or humans in costumes” as opposed to actual alien actors. I would imagine the alien “…

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?
