I'm a westerner and while I agree that men and women are indeed fundamentally different in their natures, I can't justify *restricting* either gender into "specific roles", if that's what you are advocating. If a woman is capable of performing any given job, she should be free to and be paid the same amount as a man as well.

Sweetie, this "global speak" is a facade for "global citizenship" or "world order".

[ddpl365]

women's rights abuses must not be looked at as an Arab problem, or a Muslim problem or an African problem or an Asian Problem or a Christian problem- it is a GLOBAL problem. When one woman suffers in one part of the world, all women suffer.

Discovered in 2003:

The underlying law of nature may be the world's most useful, profitable and encouraging knowledge.

e.g., It is the most effective and efficient means to improve the performance of any process.

Great personal, economic and societal advantages exist to identifying the underlying law of nature first hand, for oneself, and to understanding and applying its principles.

Bing or Google it as a start.

Gender gap? There is none. Men have brawn, women have brains. This is a fact. If everyone works together, the gap will close period

my god I'm psychic!

Japan is the second most powerful economy in the world; it has a HUGE gender gap. True enough, many women in Japan are in the work force, but they get crap pay, and, American women complain about the glass ceiling?

Good luck finding women in corporate boardrooms over there.

Food for thought; gender gaps have nothign to do with a country's economy, when you consider Japan. Let me guess though; "comment pending approval."

youtube nazi.

due to capitalism, industrialization, globalization, etc. women are definitely a resource. women have been subjected to becoming breeders & consumers but, they're also producers of various forms of labor. for example, i do research on sex trafficking. these women are DEFINITELY being used as a resource...it's sad but, true. =/
