A double standard

I don't understand why exceptions should be made for women but not men. Especially if they are fully capable of the work. You can't pick and choose what stereotypes you want applied to you. It's either all or none.

I would love to see a women become president if she is the best candidate. Sex doesn't mean anything to me. It's when gender roles are applied to men in the workplace and not women that it starts to bother me a bit.

using that brain i see, not good my man not good.

Don't get caught up in all the political "equal pay for equal work" nonsense. Just worry about yourself. Don't worry about what the other workers are doing, it's none of your concern. The only thing that matters is if you feel your compensation is worth it for the work you do. Do you think the work is worth what they are paying you? If not, ask for more. If they say no, then decide if you still want to work there for the rest of the season.

Oh I'm not going to. This was the first time I ever experienced something so blatant though. I believe in exactly what you said in your first few sentences. I'm just not blind, that's all.

Don't get your knickers in a twist now. You're just the only person that I can recall, in all the years I've been a part of this forum, to make 2 threads in a matter of months on the topics of feminism and gender bias in the workplace.

Reap the jibes you sow, pal.

Lol clever attempt to make a sarcastic comment I made appear to be some sort of emotional response. You failed pretty miserably though since the comment isn't even remotely close to an indication that my "knickers are in a twist."

By the way, look at all of the other topics I've started. Two out of at least a hundred have been about feminism and a clear gender bias in the workplace. You have no point in this. All you've brought are personal attacks since what I'm saying goes against your ancient and precious feminism movement.

It would appear that your "knickers" are actually the ones in a twist. Does the truth hurt you that much?

I honestly don't get worked up over much of anything, especially anything that is said on here, by anyone on here. I truly couldn't care less about your other posts, I was just having a little fun with the subject of these particular posts about women.

Most of the men on here are more concerned with T&A rather than how butthurt they get when they have to lift heavy boxes or pens marketed for women, so I was having a little fun with it.

Get over yourself and learn how to take a joke. When it's a personal attack from me, you'll definitely know it.

You're just making things up now so I'll acquiesce and call it a night.

Revenge is yours. You are done in a week and guess who gets to do the lifting then.
