[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15831778, member: 181885"] Tough topic. -Men and women are inherently different. That's ok. -If two people can perform the same job effectively, they should be offered the same pay. Period. -Women [U]tend[/U] to be better nurturers and are, on the whole, better suited for philanthropic positions [U]in terms of numbers only[/U] -Men [U]tend[/U] to be better laborers and are, on the whole, better suited for blue-collar positions [U]in terms of numbers only[/U] -There is no rule that a man nor a woman cannot obtain a position outside of what is stated above -Statistics that state that women get paid less are often pulled from national averages that stem from the facts listed above- with the exception of medical professions, most philanthropic positions do not pay as well as the alternatives. There's the statistical disparity. Outliers exist. However, there is truth in how men and women are treated differently in the workforce. It's simple human nature. My wife is in a position mostly dominated by men. Some guys won't let her do her job because "she is a woman." Oh boy does she get pissed. She's 5'5" and built like a UFC fighter- best not to piss her off, but some of the guys she works with manage to do it. I watched her lift up our 54" riding mower and push it out of the shed with the accessory drive engaged, but they won't let her lift up a 20lb box at work. This kind of crap is common, but the #metoo-tier "so n so gets paid more" garbage gets more attention. I used to work as one of two engineers in a department of mostly women. Now granted, I'm no George Clooney (seriously), but I used to attract some unwanted attention from the women in the department. They used to try to push the limits to see if they could get me red and embarrassed. Most of the time it was harmless, but now and then it would be a "whoa, wtf" moment. (and for the record, no I didn't enjoy it) Ever heard of a guy going to HR because a woman was acting inappropriate? Neither have I. There's a reason. tl;dr It's the same problem society battles over every damn day. Outliers make the news, everyone gets bent out of shape about it, and nobody addresses the real issues. [/QUOTE]
