ORIGINAL: LadyCimarron Likewise I cannot believe how many men have a strange double standard also. They think my job (which I work in a male dominated profession btw) should either pay me less OR when they ask me out on dates, we should go dutch. I'm still trying to figure out what one has to do with the other. And if you don't want to buy the woman anything, don't do it. See? That makes it equal. HA HA HA HA HA HA. Yeah cause that would work. I can see being in LOTS of mutually gratifying relationships that way. Come on be Honest you want all the Perks of Equality but none of the Social Stigma that goes with it. QSM We are on the same page I did say EQUAL WORK FOR EQUAL PAY. Now I am not a firefighter, but If they are going to pay according to the amount of work done, I would bet women would win everytime. (and note, I said the amount of work, not how much strength a person has) Mostly because in those types of professions EVERYTHING that is not heavy lifting is usually assigned to women. Yes, a male firefighter might be able to better pick up a person and carry him out of a fire. Ask the average firefighter how many times he has had to do that in his career. If a fireman is really unlucky it might happen to him once or twice in a career. Go visit your local fire department and you will see that the vast majority of their time is spent cooking, eating, and sleeping. Most have never had to carry someone out of a fire. (and yes it is a job hazard and it may happen so they do need to be prepared for it) Its the same as cops. Although they have hazards like gunshots, most go through their career never having to shoot anyone and not being shot at. ALL OF THIS STILL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DATING AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. If I ask a man out on a date I PAY FOR THE DATE. Simply put, if I asked him for his time then its on my dime. On the flipside of that, if a man asks me for my time, its going to be on HIS dime. While this works for me, I don't hold this up to everyone because its a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP. However you deal with your wife, girlfriend, significant other is your business, and has nothing to do with how you are paid at work. Now you would think your boss was crazy if he cut your paycheck because of how much money your wife made on her job........This used to be the NORM for women. They were paid less because "they had a husband to take care of them" while men "had families to support." The point is, what was going on in a private home was none of the employers business. Likewise, what is going on at my job, is none of my dates business.
