It’s an absolute scandal that women are assumed to have equal abilities as men. You can not make equal what is so fundamentally different. It’s just science. It’s dangerous and detrimental to society to go against this.
We’re bombarded daily in the media with these false notions and with censored politically correct language that hides and mutilates the truth. The whole society has taken on board – without questioning – completely irrational notions about sex (not “gender”). It’s not going to change either.. it’s just going to get worse… But thanks for these awesome movies. They should show these in television..
The pay gap exists in that the majority of higher paying jobs are dangerous and labor intensive, therefore mostly men fill those roles. That is the extent of said “pay gap.” The fact women organizations, and society at large ignore this shows the brainwashing (for lack of a better word) western society propogates, and pushes onto cultures worldwide. At one point, there will be a great upheaval; where and when is the mystery.
I do have one disagreement with Angry Harry in that there is no solution. There is a solution, it’s just that the market has decided to discriminate based on competence and choice. I know he’s trying to say that there is no equalizing solution, but it is a fair solution.
Whatever happened to the notion of societal duty, where you did, or did not, do something because it might be harmful to society? Sending a woman into the armed forces is not exactly conducive to the society’s prosperity, likewise sending them into the police force or the fire brigades. I would think that a family’s duty is not to present such a burden on their nation. Whatever happened to familial duty along these lines?
The gynosupremacists are a plague on Man. So damn criminal. Men, this must be corrected.
