Well, here I am . . . (DM)
Now I'm going to piss off almost all my readers . . . that's 2 out of 3 at the moment (since 1 is enjoying a nice well-deserved holiday in Canary Islands somewhere). Feminism . . . pretty good idea in my mind. Women should get equal treatment. But . . . they should not moan about it every now and then. If a woman wants to be paid the same amount of money men are paid, they should be able to get what they want. But only when they work the same amount of time, have same working-hours and have the same results.
Hypothetically - there is a job, that needs 30% wit and 70% strength and agility. Two people apply - a man and a woman. Man has to get at least 25 points out of 30 in the strength exam and 20 out of 30 in the intelligence exam. Woman has to get 20 for strength and 17-18 for intelligence. Man gets that needed 25 and 20 and woman gets that 20 and 20. Now, you're the employer - who do you choose? Both are eligible for the job. I would go for the man, won't you? If a man fails a test and a woman succeeds - ok, woman gets the job - even if the man has 30 out of 30 in the physical.
But here's the tricky part - women complain about being mistreated - they are not given the same opportunities as men. They also complain when they are preferred to a job even though a man is better suited. They say, that that describes them as inferior beings - that they somehow need to be treated softer. Which is it then? Are you protesting against not getting enough chances or being given too many chances (maybe unfairly, but still). I can't follow the logic. If I find that the woman can do the work better, of course I'm gonna hire her.
I have to pause here . . . more to come very soon.
