Why should men receive less for doing more? <br /><br />In fact, men should earn more entirely because they do not have to give birth and can continue to work and thus add to the companies bottom line. This should be factored in and when a man becomes a father, his salary increased for the first few weeks after his wife gives birth, so that the child is looked after and the man continues to work and be productive. <br /><br />The End.<br /><br />Oh, a disclaimer. The above comment is sexist. It takes into account the built in differences between the sexes and thus acknowledges that sex is not 'just a social construct' but a very real fact of life'. <br /><br />In other words, libby libtards.

The remaining workers have no choice but to increase their own work load during this time. THEN, when the absentee returns, she will be paid double what the rest of the team receive. For the same work!<br /><br />I can see much resentment being generated even among many women.<br /><br />I have long maintained that the deceitful framing of the discourse surrounding the so-called gender wage gap would logically lead to women being paid more than men.

So when women say they want equal pay what they really mean is they want double pay. And women feel themselves to be so much more evolved than mere men that I'm sure they feel they're 'worth it'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-47937395883882937862012-04-17T14:02:50.487+10:002012-04-17T14:02:50.487+10:00Hello Mark

I think the leftist agenda is currently expanding and becoming widely destructive and I fear for my children's future under the direction we are heading. I could not understand how anyone could think like a progressive if they had a love of family, and the society and culture into which they were born. So thank you. <br /><br />I chose to be a stay at home mum and only worked (very) part time when my children started school. It hurt us financially but it has been the joy of my life to raise them and see them become happy, confident and succesful. <br /><br />Mark, we stay at home mums do an enourmous amount of unpaid work that helps the local community but obviously can't be taxed. Playgroups, canteen volunteering, helping on the mother's day stand, fundraising, P&C committees etc are all undertaken by parents who give their time freely because we want to contribute to our community. These feel natural to me. <br /><br />Babies in daycare are as sad a sight as the Romainian orphans we saw AND condemned a few years back.marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-57756400689959619932012-04-17T10:28:22.378+10:002012-04-17T10:28:22.378+10:00This proposal ties a woman more closely to the wor...This proposal ties a woman more closely to the workplace.
