First, song sucks. Second, I've lost respect for some women, as I had a friend sent to jail because of one. He plays hockey, and he had to leave his girlfriend for a bit for a game. One of his teammates was joking around and broke his phone. His girlfriend was mad because he wasn't answering her texts/calls. "OMG HE'S CHEATING" she thought wrong. She called her daddy (Chief of police) and said that he raped her. They're not going to believe him! He got out years later when proved innocent.

@60dl355 Women as a group are not paid less for the same job. If they were, they would have a sex-based hiring advantage over men.

@cherrixox "The difference in starting salaries at the beginning (usually in the first couple of years after uni) has a variance of around 3-4%. This increases exponentially over time and can reach as high as 20%"

Corporations usually pay workers roughly the same in particular job categories. The best way to get a higher salary is to find a job at a another company with higher pay.

If men as a group negotiate salary better, they're not the same worker as women as men have a different skill.

@cherrixox People should be judged not on gender or race but on their skills, character and their actions. Men and women aren't equal because they were never supposed to be equal due to biology. Men outclass women in certain areas and women outclass men in certain areas as well but there are some exceptions of course.

@TheToxotai I think that may be a bit of a sexist stereotyping taking place there.... which is actually the problem. There are elements of the education system which are feminized, and that also needs to be addressed, but same can be said for classes where middle class children achieve more and this is directly reflected in the job market. Why with gender does it happen the other way around?

[cherrixox]

@nezpercenathan I'm saying that the employees of a company who share biological attributes with the founders shouldn't be paid more based on that. (i.e. if the founder is male, it doesn't mean that male employees should be paid more than their female counterparts.) You seem to have misunderstood.

[nezpercenathan]

@feministsAreCorrupt Absolutely correct on both of your posts! These are things simple stats do not take into account.

[nezpercenathan]

@cherrixox So, you are saying the founder of a company should make no more money than an employee of the company. Great logic.

[TheToxotai]

@cherrixox The main reason women are out performing men is due to the education system favoring the way women learn. Also men are payed more not because their men but because they are more likely to work over time and less likely to use sick days compared to women.Men are also more likely to work unsocial hour then women as mothers who work want to get back to their kids when they get back from school.

@TheToxotai Typically the negotiation process is very limited, and usually only takes place at the start of a contract. The difference in starting salaries at the beginning (usually in the first couple of years after uni) has a variance of around 3-4%. This increases exponentially over time and can reach as high as 20% despite women generally out-performing men in most academically based tasks.
