Yabby, why aren't NRL players
charged for assault.
is the NRL above the law?

whistler, "since women and men value work differently".

Isn't that the truth!

A Story
The women, having discussed a problem at great length and from every angle, making sure that each has had her oar in to the max to get her feelings off her chest, go off with warm glows knowing that all that can be done is done.

Then some man comes along, shakes his head and actually does the work.

Later a woman chastises him for fixing something that didn't need to be fixed, they (the women) just wanted to air their grievances about it and have someone take notice of them. Trust men to interfere without listening.

Whistler, Instead of a legislature would a gigantic fibreglass ear in every city square do, with a continuous loop recording that says something assuring and comforting, "Yes dear, you are so right dear, of course you are being taken for granted and are not being valued for what you do etc., etc."

Oh and a giant latex scrotum for the feminists to kick and claw, with a recording saying ....,well, you can imagine the words of choice.

Not forgetting the wall with the vague outline of a woman's* body with a target overlaid. No recorded cries of pain, just a trapdoor below to drop the s.o.b when the first strike is landed.

* alright, make it unisex if you must.

All a bit lateral? Blame Whistler.

Get a grip Master. What’s a “menz collective”?

Pynchme: "Interesting commentary on women in science"

Very much so, but I await the news of Ben’s pregnancy with even greater interest. Wonder whose bias triggered his gender reassignment though – the biased scientific community?

Did anyone catch those other two interesting articles on the same page that describe gender differences in neural activity at reactions to pain, and to stress?

Whistler: “…women and men value work differently.”

There’s your epiphany content right there TPP. Valuing things differently … not just work.

Perhaps we are overlooking opportunities of an emerging paradigm shift here. Rather than pick a job best suited to the gender you are currently assigned, why not just rebalance your hormones?

Seeker, do you have a problem
if women and men agree?

Seeker, a "menz collective" is a comical term to describe the several whinging excuses for "men" here (out where I come from they wouldn't last a day), who blame feminism, and women who don't agree with them, for all their pitiful troubles in life. They WHINGE,WHINGE and WHINGE continuously. They use the typical Politically Correct language of a bygone era when men ruled the roost and women submitted. They believe it's all the fault of women in Govt. departments for stealing their money and generally making their lives miserable. Yes, just poor whinging excuses for men. But I must admit it's rather funny to observe these weak creatures, and it can be quite entertaining at times.

I'm 81 years old, close to being crippled, have suffered some terrible tragedies in life, yet I retain twice the strength of character, and twice the fortitude, of these whinging, weak excuses for men.

Pomeranian:"thank you for teaching me grade 5 maths"

My pleasure, little fella. Next time, just ask the kid next door, eh?

To all the feminist apologists: you seem to be trying to imply that nursing, teaching and some of the other courses that women tend to find attractive are not really worth the label of "professions" and hence should be taught at technical colleges as trades, like they once were.

I tend to agree, but years of agitation by the strongly-unionised workforces in those occupations have resulted in the upgrade of the recognition offered.
Are you suggesting that should be reversed and if not, why bring the matter into a discussion of overall gender ratios?

If nurses and teachers are as well-qualified in their field as engineers are in theirs, what does it matter which course is chosen by an individual in terms of comparing overall numbers of professionals?

Just in case anyone has missed it, the gender ratio among Australian students at Australian Universities is 3 women to every 2 men and that is increasing. Here's another question for you, how big does that ratio have to become it is recognised by feminism as a problem of inequity?

This page from the Qld Education Department website shows a great deal about what is wrong with the education of boys in this country and helps explain the disparity in higher educational attainment among boys and girls.

It is on a page called "Boys gender and schooling" that purports to tell educators about issues surrounding boys education.

" Women have entered the workforce in greater numbers and in some traditionally male fields. But most women earn lower pay and do more part-time and casual work than men.
More women are seeking equality in family and intimate relationships with growing expectations of shared child-rearing and domestic work.
A backlash against feminism has painted feminists as 'man-haters' responsible for many social ills, including concerns about boys."

Can anyone tell me what that has to do with educating boys?
