I should have twigged on to that sooner. I would have if I had read more posts before answering. Tashmere Send a noteboard - 13/01/2011 02:50:20 AM
The whole subject fascinates me. The differences between women and men and how it has played out over the centuries has been on my mind lately. Some of my dearly held opinions have been forcibly changed. There is little left in my world that is black and white.

Fun post you made. Your trolling got results. :)

I don't trust the figures. Rebekah - 11/01/2011 06:50:24 PM 1389 Views
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 726 Views
One might assume that, but it's not necessarily so. Rebekah - 12/01/2011 08:58:14 PM 1351 Views

It's not just that choice though. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:12:48 PM 1457 Views
It feels more hypocritical coming from feminists than "traditionalists". *NM* Rebekah - 11/01/2011 07:17:24 PM 760 Views
For you maybe. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:27:52 PM 1378 Views

My commentary on the whys and wherefores of this stuff would be way too politically incorrect SilverWarder - 11/01/2011 07:56:24 PM 1430 Views
I think all of that makes sense random thoughts - 11/01/2011 08:36:39 PM 1314 Views

how much time the experts spend being wrong doesn't make them less wrong random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:16:10 PM 1229 Views
How much more time they've spent studying it before drawing conclusions makes a big difference. Joel - 12/01/2011 05:42:26 PM 1251 Views
your right it is just a coincidence that their results always matches their politics random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:56:03 PM 1301 Views
There's definitely such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy. Joel - 12/01/2011 07:00:23 PM 1256 Views
so you would trust them if they only admitted conseratives? random thoughts - 12/01/2011 09:51:00 PM 1281 Views

What evidence I'm aware of seems inconclusive. Joel - 12/01/2011 06:46:50 PM 1143 Views
There are theories but of course they are unprovable random thoughts - 12/01/2011 10:50:08 PM 1250 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 1186 Views
I think if you look you find you believe all sorts of things that can't be proven random thoughts - 13/01/2011 10:03:54 PM 1266 Views

Seems like that's an argument for both views, in a way. Joel - 13/01/2011 11:14:11 PM 1202 Views
You can use anything to prove what you want if you are willing to spin it hard enough random thoughts - 14/01/2011 02:57:29 PM 1471 Views
