Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/We're a bit of a way off from white men being at a disadvantage. And by a bit, I mean we're not even close. Now, if you want to say that educational and economic disparity can put a white male at a disadvantage, then yes, wealth inequality is absolutely a huge problem, but it's definitely not because you're a white man.
Yet my immediate superior in my office is a woman
The company is owned by a woman.
They are openly mocking the "lack of equal rights for women in America". They are all at work today. There are no scheduled "stand-ins".
Just another day in our office.
We all value and respect each other equally here.

Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/Have you heard of second generation gender bias?
Are you aware how unequal child care leave policies can force mothers to choose between their career or children and expect fathers to be the earner while the mother stays home on leave with a kid. The father may want to stay home and the mother go back to work but they can't because of the unbalanced leave policies. There is still "legal" issues out there. It's not all malicious either. Some of it just "is" and it slowly being corrected but work still needs to be done.
You should also ask.
Why do men and women work different jobs?
Why do they work different hours?

From the second sentence.....multiple studies find that pay rates between males and females varied by 5–6.6% or, females earning 94 cents to every dollar earned by their male counterparts.
The 70 cents on the dollar nonsense is silly. They factor in women who choose to stay home and raise a family into it by giving them an annual salary of 0$ thus driving down the average wage for women overall.
Women are incredible and supremely important but modern feminism has been corrupted by ultra left wing SJW's that are actively looking to be in a constant state of outrage.
Of course you don't have to be passive about it either. I know it's hard for most women to make demands, it's not in our nature I guess, but it's the world we live in. If you don't find for something, you likely won't get it.
If we ever marry and have children, probably he'll be the one staying home.

Guess that's not a law though, but it is a reality.

Here's that paragraph:
As a woman, I believe this is the most likely scenario. Looking at job choices women make (HR, marketing, nurses, teachers), the unwillingness to negotiate salaries, and hours worked (not tons of overtime), along with things like time off for children - I think that explains the inequality fairly well. How many women are doctors, lawyers, engineers, bankers? Not many. Those careers require a lot of work and education, and they payoff big league for a reason. My dad and brother are in those careers (well my Dad is retired) and they work absolutely insane hours with lots of stress. I remember growing up as a kid with a father that routinely left the house early enough to be at work by 7 or 7:30 am, and wasn't home until 6 or 7 at night. His work hours only got better once he earned partnership and I was a teenager. Despite living close to my brother and being quite close friends, I never see him because of his work hours. Often not even on holidays or birthdays. I see his wife a lot more. I don't think a lot of people want that. And attorneys? I work at a massive law firm - yes with plenty of women - and the hours and stress these people work is insane. It feels like some of these attorneys basically just live here. They arrive before I do and stay much later than I do. I've heard phone conversations where their wives are begging them to come home and stop working.
If you want to make the big bucks anywhere as a woman, you have that opportunity in the Western world and that's great. But you need to realize the men in those positions work really, really hard for it, so if you want to be their equal, you need to do so as well. And the many women in my company who are in top level management positions (one of which is the head of the company) have given up a lot for that - working insane hours, continuing to work at home late and on vacations, some being bicoastal, never seeing their children, requiring tough degrees and work history.
I'll be the first to admit that as a woman, I know a lot aren't willing to do those things needed to get to that position. I wouldn't want to. Men and women are different and we can't change that. I want to celebrate our differences. We are biologically and psychologically different for a reason and I love those differences in both men and women. I don't want to be the same. I'll be the first to admit that when I have children one day, I'd love nothing more than to stay at home and take care of them. Sadly I'm not rich enough to do that, so I'll continue going to my job and doing well, with no desire to climb too high up the ladder, because the time I spend outside of work is far more important to me than the time I spend at work. I know some men feel the same way, but they are willing to work harder to earn that money for their family and that's a biological difference that makes many want to do that. Or they can choose to sta home to take care of the kids, and I know someone who chose that. Many women are biologically programmed to want to be home with the family. That's not a bad thing. And those women who choose to work harder and earn more? Well they can do that in the Western world, so what are they fighting for?
We have equal rights already and I think we need to acknowledge the real feminists of the past that earned those rights for us. Not these left wing nut jobs that are fighting for all the wrong things these days. Let's instead celebrate that we are all wonderfully different and still enjoy the same rights, and let's make sure we don't lose sight of that, lest our society continues to change in radically frightening ways.
Meanwhile in protest of the idiocy of today, I'm going to celebrate all the things I love about men.
By having a international women's day implies that they have been mistreated as inferiors and need to be recognized.SO rather than a day to recognize the opposite sex which we should already acknowledge,we should fix the stereotypes and quit treating women as inferior.
Creating a day like this does NOT fix the problem but seems to more or less try to hide the problem or give a fake impression the male race is noticing women as equals.It is like some males in government sat around and said "if we just give them a national day,we keep them quiet".
I would say on average once a week i still see numbers floating around that imply women are still treated as inferiors with less pay for similar jobs to simply NOT having the same authoritative jobs as the males.
Look no further than this site,predominantly run by males with every owner also being male,so yeah this site is very typical of the status quo in the world.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Whoever in my company thought he/she needed to take a day off to show me he/she is important either is an idiot or thinks I am an idiot. And will be fired. Any day, any gender.
