Women make less because men work longer hours, duhhh...

Or we could just take over and run things our way. That would be competing with men on their own level.

Back to the bailey so soon? Don't threaten me with a good time.

Don't you want your daughter to have a shot at anything that interests her that she might be good at?

Oh wait is this a "which gender would do a better job of singlehandedly ruling the world with a complete work action by the other gender" thread?

Men would win for one generation!

And that would be a cold lonely generation...

You're beating the grass down retreating to the motte. Take it easy, don't pull a hammy.

Except for gay men.

Except for gay men.

They would require a uterus to make it more than one generation... but they would be less cold and lonely I presume.... lol

Oh no, you need to get serious about this one. Men with daughters have a greater responsibility on this topic. And FTR fathers are indispensable in raising strong women. When I was telling my girls to not get hurt on the court and covering my face when they went down, their dad was telling them to shake it off and stop whoever they were guarding.

That too. Potholes in the road? Better grab a shovel. Trashed your suspension from those potholes? There's some old wrenches over there, go fix it. Power went out in that storm? Hope you learned about electricity in school, you're gonna need it. Hope you learned how to fix plumbing, heating, A/C, etc too.

Or maybe you don't want the jobs that actually built the infrastructure you use? We can let it collapse then...

You're assuming most men have an interest in manual labor and that women can't learn the trades.

OMG, not at all, I think women can learn all those things. But it certainly seems like they don't/aren't to a large degree. Why is that?

I'm just thinking if you're planning on taking over the world you might want to think about having more women take up those roles that make modern society function. If you want to alienate/blame men don't be surprised when they just "turn off, drop out", which according to the news is already happening to a degree... you might want to plan on taking up those things yourselves.

The sad thing to me is that with all the modern instantaneous communication we have we haven't at all grown more together and cooperative, but rather more at odds. Somehow it seems the thinking is the only way to "be happy" is to be on top, to have control and run it all. I'm honestly glad I probably won't be alive in 40-50 years to see what the world is like then at the rate we're going.

We may be alive in 40-50 years the way medical advances are going. That said, it's obviously a time of great upheaval. I'm cautiously optimistic and think we'll work it out.

I think women don't learn the trades because they weren't 'apprenticed' like their brothers. My dad learned plumbing as a child along with his brothers, but his female cousins weren't taught. It just wasn't done. I wasn't taught any trade skills at all, but my brother was. Tasks were gender segregated.

Bully for daddy.

The further back into the depths of the Motte you go, the greater the risk of not getting back out to the Bailey to shoot some more shit. Better lay down some bread crumbs, or something, to get back out to the open.
