Black people are dumbFollow

Samira is right. Obviously women aren't smarter or else they'd get jobs that pay 30% more to make up the difference.


Pfftt... stupid broads.

How bout she rise above it, by demanding equal pay for equal work.

First of all, that was posted while I was writing my post, so I didn't see it, but even so, that may be true for some employers, but not all. Plus women have so many privileges and benefits that men just don't get. If anything us men should be complaining about oppression.

That's called the feminist movement. You know, that's what women want.



Please, educate me on these rights.

Dude, stop talking. Just. Stop.

Quickly.

Uh, maternity leave?

Men get paternity leave at most places.

Next?

Well, also, the more relevant issues is that women actually have to give birth and breast feed. Guys, not so much, so the need to be at home during the early part--especially the month that is usually paid instead of the unpaid two months after that--is usually based on biological realities around childbirth.

When Daboder starts popping babies out of his man-****** and feeding them with his man-boobies, then he can complain about the inequalities of life.

I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that they realized it was a medical leave, and they're just pissy that they didn't get the "time off."

Edit:



Oh... sorry.

Tone it down goddamit!

Oh! The public broadcaster in Oz aired Guns, Germs and Steel not too long ago. I found it fascinating. All these sorts of things slot into my background general knowledge of biological, social and cultural evolution of the whole world for the last several millenia.

Experts can argue back and forth about the details, (which are very important) but I think a thesis like this stands up very well as a worldview. Perhaps not exactly my worldview in all ways, but certainly A legitimate worldview.

The section on malaria was powerfully, emotively done. It made me more glad than ever about the huge resources the Gates have sunk into malaria research. It's quite possible that if that money finally solves the malaria problem that Africa will go through a renaissance, and catch up to the world in a matter of several decades.

(Yes, yes, Africa will still have all the other drawbacks it has at present - but doubling the life expectancy is going to mean that there are more experienced people around to tackle the other issues.)

It's not an inequality--it's a difference. I'm not sure what this proves about anything other than you have a chip on your shoulder.
