I don't trust the figures. Rebekah - 11/01/2011 06:50:24 PM 1516 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 792 Views

It's not just that choice though. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:12:48 PM 1602 Views
It feels more hypocritical coming from feminists than "traditionalists". *NM* Rebekah - 11/01/2011 07:17:24 PM 833 Views
For you maybe. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:27:52 PM 1514 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 1568 Views
I think all of that makes sense random thoughts - 11/01/2011 08:36:39 PM 1447 Views
In this particular case I don't disagree with you. SilverWarder - 11/01/2011 09:28:13 PM 1381 Views

how much time the experts spend being wrong doesn't make them less wrong random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:16:10 PM 1373 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 1384 Views
your right it is just a coincidence that their results always matches their politics random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:56:03 PM 1438 Views
There's definitely such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy. Joel - 12/01/2011 07:00:23 PM 1405 Views
so you would trust them if they only admitted conseratives? random thoughts - 12/01/2011 09:51:00 PM 1409 Views
Admitted? No, but they'll take anyone with the grades. Joel - 13/01/2011 09:47:42 PM 1423 Views
Every study I have seen shows most schools have few to no non-leberal proffesors random thoughts - 13/01/2011 10:07:08 PM 1344 Views

not when we know men are better at math thewpmen are random thoughts - 13/01/2011 11:10:18 PM 1529 Views
Sigh... we know no such thing, and even if we did, it would be those biased liberals telling us. Joel - 13/01/2011 11:30:33 PM 1328 Views

we know the brain of women works differently then the brains of men random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:40:15 PM 1436 Views
What evidence I'm aware of seems inconclusive. Joel - 12/01/2011 06:46:50 PM 1264 Views
There are theories but of course they are unprovable random thoughts - 12/01/2011 10:50:08 PM 1380 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 1321 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 1395 Views

Seems like that's an argument for both views, in a way. Joel - 13/01/2011 11:14:11 PM 1344 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 1606 Views
I used YOUR article to "prove" what it says outright. Joel - 15/01/2011 05:35:27 PM 1525 Views
