Why do women earn so much less?

[Evil?]

Crazy!

 

[Ender Rises]

Try to find a way out of it. There isn't one. It's the best pickup line... ever.

 

[Evil?]

After exploring both options,I figured that out.

 

[~Neurotica]

You're all gays.

We don't really have such a problem here.
I just think that while men straightly achieve their goals, women have lenty of other things to do (kids, house work, her look, her husband and shit) and yeah, plus our brains are really different. Though, you also have to understand that there are things that women do better than men and vice versa. For example, I'm better than Dodens in programming, designing and PC hardware, better than Krig in photography, better than bigdave in drumming, better than Amarantus in playing Unreal Tournament.

One of my best friends is a senior financial analyst and earns over 100k.

Oh and she's not 30 yet

I'll kick your ass from Kiev to Sydney and back again in a Quake duel though and a double world trip ass kicking in UT's DM-Turbine

Quake - possible. UT - never

 

[Life Sucks]

There are more men in upper management positions, because people are more likely to listen to a man and trust a man making the most important decisions. j/k But seriously, there are very few femaile CEOs, CIOs, and even VPs out there.

 

[Life Sucks]

because women suck

 

[~Neurotica]

True. Fuck them.

 

[Zephyrus]

I always thought it was an illusion because women tend to spend more.

 

[Life Sucks]

True. Fuck them.

I was only kidding. But women can frustrate me sometimes. Like only last week the woman I had been dating for a month didn't respond to a couple emails, then send me an email saying that she though we shouldn't go out anymore because we don't have enough in common.:zombie: I admit, the fact that I am frustrated with women at the moment prompted me to write that, even though I was only kidding.

I don't have anything to say right now about this thread. You all know what I'd say anyway----Our society is still maladjusted to women in the workforce. It will get better someday, I hope. But to ArsDiavoli----Physical labor has nothing to do with it. Female vs male actors are still paid much higher rates. I remember reading years ago how Julia Roberts was the highest paid actress in Hollywood, but that Brad Pitt and George Clooney still made almost double what she did. And if you look at the vast majority of artists popular today and making money, most are male. And those male artists work usually sells for more as well. It's just bullshit.

edit #2: I guess I did have a little to say after all.

 

[Life Sucks]

I have no female friends. That must make me super ultra straight! j/k

Well, that's understandable. But I don't think it's about only women. My friend dated a guy for 4 years and everything was just great, but one morning he left for like a week and when he came back he told her that they need to break up because he doesn't deserve to be with her. Isn't it a pure bullshit? Yes it is. And of course I know a bunch of women who act stupid with their guys and I don't know how they even stand those girls. So both - men and women can be freaky strange sometimes. Men actually frustrate me when they start telling stories and lie instead of telling a real reason of why they don't call or write anymore, as they are not bold enough to say truth. Wusses.

Yeah, and sorry for the offtop.

Oh, the irony...

 

[~Neurotica]

Yeah, that too.

 

[entanglement]

programming

What do you program?

 

[unknown]

microwaves, ovens, the blender...

 

[~Neurotica]

What do you program?

Nothing particular. I meant that I know how to deal with computers in majority of times and know about them more than a simple user does. Because I love tech.

I don't think there's any other special reason, just sexism. I think Susperia explained it well.

About women and (gay) male friends: it's because they're non-threatening (I don't mean that in a violence-oriented way). It's completely safe to let your guard down around them because you know you won't ever be dating them. That's what the "let's just be friends" line is about, changing your status from "datable manmeat" to "might as well be gay".

I agree with Neurotica about the "wuss" comment. Way too many men are complete worthless crap when it comes to being a man. And I'm not saying I'm looking for more macho posturing, just don't be a wishy-washy idiot. If you're taking a girl out and she asks where you're going don't say, "I don't know, what do you wanna do?" Have a plan, be a man, don't be afraid to make a decision about something. Way too many men that I've met act like they're still trying to please mommy. I'm not your mother, and I'm not looking for some wussyboy.
