LotusSong, The last news reports that I've seen accually indicate that hour for hour, women make more than men. The reason that women appear to make less on paper is that they tend to choose working less hours, i.e., part time. Also, since these pay amounts were averaged out over the year, women's greater absenteeism factored into less overall pay. On the other hand, the majority of women are more likely to earn a higher salary, more likely to get pay raises and more likely to move into management. The reason for this is the overwhelming corporate fear of litigation, whether it be harrassment or discrimination. Right now, the vast majority of college students are female--affirmative action. The majority of middle management is female and, since middle management does most of the hiring, affirmative action hiring plus anti-male discrimination. These are not bullshit. This is the reason that men have an unemployement rate, yet women's unemployement is nearly non-existant. Besides, these new revelations tend to coincide with figure from the automotive and real estate industries: the vast majority of new automobiles (>80%) are purchased by women, and the vast majority of homes (>70%) are purchased by women. Really, if women were making so little money, where would they get all the money to make such large purchases? Feminists have been manipulating statistics for decades, and until recently, everyone just went along. But women's spending habits have thrown up some red flags, and as news agencies are starting to look at non-manipulated data, the truth is coming out. If there is no anti-male discrimination, then why has my old alma mater --Cal State Univ. Northrige-- consistantly had freshmen classes of 75% female for the last 10 years? And my old school is not alone. In this country, men are getting screwed. A friend of mine is in Nursing school, a traditionally female profession, and he has had a miserable time in the class rooms and in the hospital rotations. He is constantly bombarded with statements that women are superior and that men are incapable of multi-tasking and logic and reason, and therefore, any great thinking. Needless to say, I'm trying to get him to change his major, but he attracted by the outrageous nursing salaries --the reason the healthcare industry is falling apart. Women need to stop playing victom and start taking responsibility for their actions. I also believe that women should start serving in the military. Not the way that they do now, but for real. As it stands now, a woman can be fast-tracked up the chain of command and lead men into combat without ever seeing it themselves. The draft should be re-introduced and only draft women. Then, to prevent the deaths of too many male soldiers who are trying to protect women, make female only combat battalions. Let them for once shed blood for their freedom. IF women are able to prove themselves on the battlefield, then and only then should they be considered truly equal and fit for such things as running for president. When women start signing draft cards, they will be taken more seriously. So, all you feminists out there, and you know who you are, write your senators and congressional representatives to demand the right to die in battle, just like the men!!!!!!!!
