Not supporting Feminism is like supporting Apartheid.
More or less.- Not supporting equal rights overall is giving power to all that hold us back from advancing into a better worldsem
- I thinks you understand me wrong. Or I didn't understand you right. I support Feminism. I don't support Apartheid.oey
- So what do you actually want to tell me if I support equal rights?oey
- such an insult for those who lived under apartheid, this is why I can't never take feminist seriouslyGeorgesII

Hah! My wife is so strong Ive actually never thought about it, she doesn't need a movement behind or alongside her. Seriously though, its like racism, or anything else of equal stupidity...I hope at some point we could all realize we have one shot at being a good person. We're all hurtling through space on the same rock, and we all bleed the same blood. We all die, we all feel joy and pain together...we're different, and that should be celebrated. But at the end of the day life is hard, and we shouldn't do stupid shit to make it harder.
- but you're wife isn't strong if she isn't a feminist, she's just a self hating womyn
//SGeorgesII - Hahahaha...I know...right!?JackRyan

- Most of the people hating have probably never had an actual real life relationship with a woman.sem
- Otherwise they would have more respect and understanding of the point Anita is trying to make.sem
- I have yet to meet a sane woman. They are bat shit crazyDillinger

This whole what is a woman debate(?!) got me thinking of Ancient Athens when Plato was giving a speech on the definition of man and came to the conclusion and was applauded for declaring a man as a featherless biped, so Diogenes the Cynic “plucked the feathers from a cock, brought it to Plato’s school, and said,
‘Behold! A man.’ ”

So let’s see, shall we?"Gnash - most people will do what they normally do. just not buy it.Gnash

Dearest fadein, the point is simple really, and you'd see it if your biases weren't so firmly crocheted within the taffeta folds of your virtuous self image.
Uber is not just a “taxi” company, as you so dismissively labelled them. they are a hugely successful example of a completely gender-blind labour ecosystem.
By using millions of data points the study found that a 7% pay gap between men and women persisted even within that gender-blind market.
Coincidently, this 7% is almost identical to the general labour market gender pay gap of 8% that is currently argued as being based solely on discrimination, and not on the bizarrely controversial idea that men and women are different and consequently, make different choices.
This study simply offers quite solid evidence contradicting the currently preferred opinion — specifically because of its unique ability to offer truly gender-blind data.
I truly hope, for your sake, that this isn’t a “mind-blowing post” — it’s quite a simple concept really and I feel a little silly having to break it down for you.
- Does this study put the nail in the coffin of that argument? no, but it sheds a lot of light on the discussion.Gnash
- but clearly a light not bright enough to illuminate the dark corners of some peoples preconceptionsGnash
- This study is about a taxi company. See below "2 million Uber drivers". It is also about a freelance sector where the amount of work is defined byfadein11
- the individual worker, not a salary defined by the employer. Obviously the hourly rate is but the amount of time drivers work is down to them.fadein11
- E.g. the recent BBC pay scandal had nothing to do with choices made by the individual but about the worth defined to them by their employer.fadein11
- Perhaps I am missing something but this doesn't relate to broader pay discrimination at all.fadein11
- It looks like an example of someone using a study that is v.specific to make borader assumptions about an issue.fadein11
- ugh. whizbangGnash
- I knew there was no point in trying to explain. live and learnGnash
- sorry? explain what?fadein11
- look at my original comment pal, the article was obvious. wasn't sure why it was worth posting and why you felt the need to, what did it say to you?fadein11
- Still sidestepping my original question, did it help enforce your views? or was it just a joke post from your online "persona" as set suggested?fadein11
- If you won't be embarrassed for yourself, I'll do it for you.set
- We both embarrass ourselves daily here, isn't that part of the fun. It's all part of our online "personas" :)fadein11
- Gnash may have won this battle but he will not win the war! lol. Stay positive always xfadein11
- gender pay gap in the gig economy or shall we say narrowed down example of the gig economy AKA uber drivers. hmmm. this has put the issue to bed for sure :)fadein11
- Uber "hugely successful"? - they have only just started making a meagre profit in the US and are still losing billions globally. Sorry had to correct you there.fadein11
- To say uber isn't successful is madness. It's a 70 billion dollar brand and is still growing... Come on fadeset
- Massively over valued brand and still losing money hand over fist. And rocked by endless scandals. If the definition of success is unrealistic valuations thenfadein11
- maybe.
https://gizmodo.com/…fadein11 - You're simply clutching to small and irrelevant points in order to still be 'right' after massively embarrassing yourself. Just stop.set
- responding to your false statement. And my original point and question still totally stands. This study applies to a tiny proportion of the labour economy sofadein11
- therefore doesn't tell us a lot aside from where discrimination is removed men and women are different. Lol. Come on, this isn't breaking news.fadein11
- You commented again and I responded. Why don't you "Just stop"fadein11
- And only applies to a tiny part of the 'gig' economy. I don't think I have missed the point, there just isn't one worth debating.fadein11
- Embarrassed myself lolfadein11
- Still doing itset

Divorce in the United States / Statistics / Initiation
"According to a study published in the American Law and Economics Review, women file slightly more than two-thirds of divorce cases in the US.[27]"
