You campaigner.No. Said he was a rapist after a retrial was granted and now he has been acquitted.
From talking to his daughter perhaps?How did you get access to that information?
Anecdote of an anecdote? Pretty meaningless...From talking to his daughter perhaps?
I'm pretty sure you called me an annoying gnat (or words to that effect) for being pedantic in the exact same manner.Anecdote of an anecdote? Pretty meaningless...
100% thought Ford was a ****** based on a single 'tame' article...?
I only enjoy semantics when they support my position!!!I'm pretty sure you called me an annoying gnat (or words to that effect) for being pedantic in the exact same manner.
You and I are very similar, CM.
What about Ratty and Badger, should not they also apologise? I won't even mention Toad.Mole really needs to retract and apologise for her comments toward Luke Lazarus.
Wasn't aware that the UK has passed laws requiring companies to calculate the difference between the average and median hourly pay rates for all male and female employees, with and without bonus.
...the difference between what their male and female employees earn, early reports from a handful of companies have revealed pay gaps as high as 36 percent -- twice the national average.
Virgin Money disclosed that men who work at the bank earn, on average, 36 percent more than women. At asset manager Schroders Plc, the pay gap was 31 percent. Utility SSE Plc reported an average pay gap of 23.4 percent, and consulting firm PwC said it found a 15 percent difference in pay.
“The way men and women are segregated into different job functions is the biggest driver of the gender wage gap,” said Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor Inc. The job search site uses self-reported data from the thousands of job seekers, then looks at job title, experience, education and other factors to understand how men and women with similar backgrounds are paid.
When adjusted for these factors, men in the U.K. still earn 5.5 percent more than women, compared with a 5.4 percent gap the U.S., he said.
I was pleased to hear that when my daughter's year 12 class had to analyse a piece by Ford, 100% of both males and females in the class thought she was a complete ******. I read the piece they were using and it was actually really tame compared to other things of hers that I've read, so I'm glad they were able to see through her so easily.
So, what you're saying is - is a bunch of year 12 kids are more intelligent than the posters here - who seek out Ford's articles and are perpetually outraged by her. Actually, that makes perfect sense.
Not so sure about that, you refer to compensating where as I have seen it reported as being penalised for their choices.I am not sure how close we can get to parity without compensating people for life choices.
There will be no prosecution against any business that have a significant pay differential between men and women, it is because they are not discriminating despite the variances.
There are a number of reasons why women do not push for more senior roles and there is a significant disproportion in earnings between senior roles and other roles. You can have one accountant be a manager in the same firm as another accountant with the same title and they often earn vastly different amounts and it has nothing to do with gender other than fewer women choosing those roles or making the life choices that allows them to fulfil those roles.
It is why you don't see many female currency traders, anyone who has worked in the industry or known someone who has understands how much of a life-consuming soul sucking job it is. While not that bad, most of the well paying senior roles require a significant commitment. Every women I have ever known who has had kids and has had a good education has had the option to have a significantly better paying job/role than they do but choose not to because their priorities in life have changed after having kids, they return to work, even take on senior roles, but they have all chosen to either work fewer hours or not put in the unpaid overtime, taken roles with less demands on time, less pressure, fewer responsibilities. It is radically different to women who do not have kids and remain career motivated their entire career.
How can you reconcile for life choices when looking at these numbers?
I do not judge or think any less of anyone who chooses a career or role they are content with. If the job you choose makes you happy, it is fine with me and it should be with everyone else. As long as someone is not taken advantage of and there is equality of opportunity, then that is all that matters.
Equality of outcome doesn't work.
Not so sure about that, you refer to compensating where as I have seen it reported as being penalised for their choices.
However for those that are in the two fields you mentioned, accountancy and currency traders, given you have knowledge of those areas, are wages comparable?
I actually did know of a couple of currency traders that have been female (some years ago) and it was a career choice they made and it took them much longer to reach wage parity with the male colleagues.
Brilliantly put. What I don't get is why women get to ditch their gender roles but men not theirs?
Yes and those same sons were sent off to die in the mud, blood and excrement of world wars and shot or imprisoned by their own army if found guilty of cowardice. The young men also broke their backs in dirty, stifling mines and all kinds of deadly occupations. Why do we talk about the past without any reference to how horrendous life could be for the males of each era? I think given the choice I would forgo a university education if it meant not having to be conscripted to go and have my legs blown off or my mind forever shattered by the things I was forced to see and do.
I might add that in the Middle East the torture and execution of men is many times that of women. Men are stoned to death, thrown off buildings for being gay and used as slave labor. Boys as young as ten are forced into armies and called "The Cubs of the Caliphate." Why do we only ever have the inequities faced by women rammed down our throats? it would be nice to see the same compassion we reserve for females shown to men and boys.
You've missed the books and documentaries about child soldiers? The shock at the persecution of homosexuals in Eastern Europe? The coverage of the attack on the gay nightclub? The worldwide condemnation over Abu Ghraib?
The question is why do you not see those things?
I think it is ridiculous to put down what feminism has done, it has been one of the most significant cultural achievements of the modern world. Anyone who has any love for their mother, sister, niece, etc who doesn't appreciate what has been hard fought for by men and women alike, doesn't truly understand what it was like before.
I think the views of many men and women, who have been raised in an era of equality, are skewed based on the third wave feminism message which has been heavily influenced by identity politics and cultural marxism. There is no consensus within the movement any longer, it is very fragmented based on various belief systems, it has however become a significant political force which has strong roots in academia.
I don't really have any answers to questions about where the movement is at or where it is heading or what impact it is having on women. Whatever that is I don't really get to or want to have a say to tell women what they should think or what they desire from their existence in life. However, there seems to be a disconnect between what they desire and what makes them happy in the long-run. Happiness is on the decline for women, the older the more severe the decline. There are consequences to the choices we make in life and while some regrets you can address later in life, some significant paths taken in life can't be undone.
I think we still have a long way to go in society and I don't think we can address a lot of the issues until we let go of the old systems and adopt new ones for a modern society. We have taken some baby steps but we have a lot of systems in place which are barriers to significant change.

It arrives on my Facebook page all the time. It is in the news - or at least the news I watch or read.
You're not likely to get it on the commercial evening news, no.
