Are females in this country really that bad off?

[CindyE]

My wife was kinda angry that they would call it a "Women's March" as if these murderous dingbats speak for all women.

I'm not pleased about it either. Most of them made asses of themselves, and those hats were freakin' stupid...but i'm supposed to be ashamed of myself for voting for Trump?

darned if i know. Here's how I handle such a situation, man or woman:

I used to like Nick Offerman till I heard his anti-gun tirade

You know how they'd answer that, right?

Sure, but Ron Swanson lives in our hearts forever.

I used to like Nick Offerman till I heard his anti-gun tirade

...and his anti-Christian comedy

...and he was at the Womens March this week


...but darn it, the man is still really funny. I'll turn him off when I hear those things, but every other time... that laugh of his is so infectious.

Here's a guy the schools them.
And nobody tried to rough him up, because he's HUGE.
I don't know that I'd have had the patience to try to educate those that don't want to be educated.
At first, he was just talking, but as they started yelling, he got louder.
I was yelling at the screen "YOU TELL 'EM!".


(I'm not sure about language in the background. I didn't hear anything, but it's filmed in a crowd of angry people, so warning just in case)

Well, I think it is a complicated issue.
I work in a union.
Man or woman, you are paid the same.... for the same job.

If you are a millwright at #2 Continuous Caster, you make the same base pay because you're a millwright, and the same incentive, because you both work at the same place.

Problem is, a majority, not all, just a majority, of the women work in fields that are either... less dangerous, office work, better environment, etc.
So, a majority aren't a millwright, or really any of the maintenance crafts.
They aren't in a shop like #2 caster, or if they do, they're in a office.
If they work in the shop, they tend towards forklift operator, or even crane operator.

So.. it's complicated.

I've heard some arguements that went along the lines of "2 caster makes so much money, why can't Iron producing make more since they got a pay increase"

but the gender pay gap has been debunked quite a few times honestly, it seems like anyone who believes it just blindly follows it

You're right. It has been debunked. However, people with their own agenda keep beatng the drum- facts be damned.

Morning Edition had an interesting story on "the gap". TL/DR: Women are self conscious and don't ask enough.

It's that and several other factors.

No matter how this is looked at, as long as it it studied with intellectual honesty, there IS NOT any reliable evidence that women are paid less ​for the same work.

She does make good points in that video, like her saying that "feminists" have twisted the word rape around.

There's that statistic going around that 1 in 5 college women are sexually abused, survey contained questions like 'have you ever had sex with someone who made false promises you later found out were false' and 'have you ever been asked to do anything sexual you weren't comfortable with' not actual crime statistics or people out and out saying they were abused, the surveyors came to their own conclusions based on the answers given by the people they called. So now we have that flawed statisctic to hear repeated over and over

Sure, listen to her...but no one listens to Cosby.

I still chuckle, long after watching her vid, at her rough/deep feminist voice.
