I’m not sexist

If I don’t like trees in my yard does that make me treeist? I don’t have a dislike for trees I just don’t like them in my yard.

Sexism and racism have to do with your feelings and preconceived notions of the group as a whole. Not the individual or individual circumstance.

The number one cost of all businesses is their employees. Any business that could slash cost by 20% overnight by simply hiring all women would. They wouldn't think twice.

Exactly! You just supported my post. This is a major factor in the VERY REAL pay gap between men and women. I thought you said it was a lie.

Which would result in an Affirmative Action lawsuit because that was actually a law put in place to benefit any social group being mistreated. Women have benefitted the most from Affirmative Action. White women in particular.

This is similar to the global warming (please don’t start on this, it’s just a reference).

The lie being pushed is that somehow the stats are because of employer bias and that something can be done to change it.

Poll a thousand males and a thousand females and ask them.. Given a conflict between family/Home responsibility’s and career which one do you gravitate to? You’ll find that females have a much higher propensity to focus on the home and family while males gravitate towards work.

So two lawyers are married and have a child, the majority of the time the female will be the one who’s career gets put on hold.

If you need a study to believe that you are pretty clueless in regards to human nature.

I guess you missed the part about the numbers being based upon US Census Bureau data on males and females working similar full-time, year-round jobs.

FFS Guido I didn’t mis any parts. I’ll spell it out for you.

Dick and Jane work for Boeing both on the assembly line and started the same date 20 years ago. Bob has 20 years in that job, Judy has has two children in the last 20 years and too two years of for each. Judy missed 4 years with of pay raises.

Same full-time job, same company, same start date.

If she took two years off for each wouldn't that mean she only has 16 years in the company? Because if the company miraculously kept her own and let her have two years of maternity leave for each child instead of her leaving the company all together and then coming back she still would have gotten the raises just like everybody else right? I know maternity leave doesn't stop anybody from getting raises here in the hospital.

Yes sir... I’m on my phone so that “too Two” should have said lost two for each putting her total time with the company 4 years behind Bob.

Females do a lot of amazing things that we don’t. They focus on the family in most cases better than we ever will, they also tend to take a career break to tend to sick and or dying family members before we do. My wife has done both..
