Since this has become too complicated Rebekah Send a noteboard - 12/01/2011 12:54:54 PM
and thus strayed from the simple point I was making, I will take it right back to that simple point so that you understand me. :P

It was simply this:

"What is your gender - male or female?" is wrong. It is "what is your sex".

Similarly, "people of the same ability should be paid the same, whatever their gender" should be "people of the same ability should be paid the same, whatever their sex".

That is all I was saying.

One assumes the latter, to the extent that "same job with same experience" can be defined. *NM* Legolas - 12/01/2011 07:10:13 PM 822 Views
One might assume that, but it's not necessarily so. Rebekah - 12/01/2011 08:58:14 PM 1539 Views

how much time the experts spend being wrong doesn't make them less wrong random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:16:10 PM 1432 Views

There are theories but of course they are unprovable random thoughts - 12/01/2011 10:50:08 PM 1455 Views
That's a logical rationale, and might even be accurate, but in this case I want hard evidence. Joel - 13/01/2011 09:03:32 PM 1390 Views
