    Shush, Don. C'mon, man. Don't kill my chance for a retirement gig.

    All I gotta do is write about how watching Baywatch leads to genital multilation in Uganda, a couple of times a month. Or how describing a hiring policy being described as a "glass ceiling" is itself slanderous and discriminatory - having assigned 'glass', that flimsiest, most easily broken of barriers , disrespects women's ability to break-thru.

    Cut a bro a break, dude. :)
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    I kinda of feel for these people, I mean having the ability to give birth automatically deals you a big disadvantage, and to be honest being consistently paid less than others even though I am better qualified would piss me off as well.

    It must suck being a chick tbh...

    What I do not get is why they are paid less for the same job, apart from that, being able to give birth is a privilege, I tried it and failed...

    Husar...

    Anyway, you'll notice they don't say paid less for the same job, but paid less overall. Inevitably a result of the choices women make in their careers, not the fact that a woman with identical experience gets paid less than a man.

    That study may not say that, but there are countless studies which does.

    Women are very often paid less for equal work. Which is just sad.

    That is pretty much true for the Netherlands at least, not that often really, more like all the time. Has to do with the man-female relation is still pretty conservative here when compared to France or the Scandinavian country's, company's are too shy to invest in women which is stupid, half of the talent is never really tapped.

    @ article.

    Good luck on your retirement job efforts, Kukri. When the organization doesn't take off in the U.S., just do more articles about how that's sexism.
