So Darmok,do you think women should get paid less than a man?


I think people should be paid according to the work they do, without regard to any extraneous personal characteristics.

So Miss Lizard, would you agree that the vastly disproportionate number of females in nursing and teaching is clear evidence of discrimination against males in those professions?

I've seen plenty of male teachers,I'm guessing there are more women becuse traditionally it was considered a woman's job.No reason a man can't do it and do it well.Some of my favorite teachers were male.I had a biology teacher that was a hoot,he dressed up as the wolfman for Halloween and came to class that way.It must have taken him hours that morning to glue the hair on his face.He said he got some strange looks driving to work.lolAs for nurses,men make great nurses.I think the reason you don't see more is that some men tend to rib guys about being a nurse.Its another job,like secretary that were classified as a female job.I wouldn't discriminate against a man for wanting a career in any of those jobs,whoever does is an ass.We need good teachers and nurses and it doesn't matter what sex they are.
Here is an old riddle you may have already heard.
A man and his son were involved in a car wreck,both were injured badly.They were rushed to the ER and prepped for surgery.The surgeon comes in to operate on the boy and says,"I can't operate,we need another surgeon in here.This is my son.
Who is the doctor?

So for those who think this March was silly,if a woman does the same job as a man,should she get paid less?If she has an abortion in Texas should the fetus require a funeral?
I posted the link for the b/w photo above,but it dosent show up on my tablet.So if I double posted that image,that's why.That is MY daughter,so all you guys that think badly of the marchers,or that they are stupid and have no reason to protest.You know where you can stick it.Stick it hard as far as it will go.

The mom, obviously. :lol:
Incidentally, a friend's older brother is a nurse working for an ambulance company. He used to be an army ranger.

The very first time I heard that joke was on All In The Family, back in the '70's.

Well, I was hoping for a Mexican hit squad to shoot up the debates before the election, but I suppose that would do.

I think the point being made was that one was a genuine fight against genuine fascism.

While the other resembled a New Year's Eve celebration against nonexistent fascism in comparison.

Yet there are so many Pussyhat types who still insist on comparing their situation to the Holocaust.

No, but it is an expression of claiming their civil rights.

...Though they weren,t assigned to direct combat roles , World War II certainly had women involved(as did other wars), including ones in immediately dangerous situations .
So why : Men,s...: ?

Oh I got the point,it was done with humor so I replied with humor.My dad was a WW II vet,always my hero.
Not so much against non existant fascism,but for the right to choose.Which Trump is looking not so good...There is still a glass ceiling,unequal wages and other valid reasons to keep up the good fight.
Ignore the extremists,they are just annoying and drive people away from the cause.

Yeah. Extremism can be a bit overkill. I get that. Sometimes, though, people do go overboard in expression of their anger because the issues affect them very deeply.

I'm sure I'm working my way to getting banned from WP because I've been using a lot of profanity lately. Yeah, I'm angry, but my use of profanity is a pacifier, as odd as that may seem.

"For one anti-abortion group, women's march was 'brutal'"

For future reference, everybody has the right to peacefully protest, even if you don't agree with them. Spitting at people and tearing up their signs is NOT peaceful. According to the law, that's assault.
