Re: Women
I don't know any women who make less than their male counterparts at the same job level. I do know a whole lot of women who never had to register for the draft, and won't ever have to worry about that.
But they all get to vote for the commander in chief!
Speaking of "Cops Episodes", ever notice how it doesn't matter who's involved in a domestic dispute? No matter what happened, the guy will always go to jail. I've seen an episode where a guy was stabbed by his drugged out girlfriend while he slept (there were witnesses corroborating the story), but because he kicked her in the chest to get her off of him, he got to go to jail too.
My wife is a Paramedic/Firefighter. She's one of the few women who is actually capable of passing the physical requirements. For a while, she wasn't. Rather than doing what most women who want to work in that field do, and complain about how the standards are sexist, because women can't pass them. She actually worked her butt off in order to get to where she COULD meet the standards.
Far too many cities have been sued by people like that, been forced to lower their standards for women, and now endanger the lives of entire crews, because they've been forced by 'political correctness' to allow people who have no business there, onto their force.
Now, even though there were 100 guys who were more capable, and who WOULD have been fit to entrust the lives of other crew members to, they get to keep looking for a different job, so that someone with different genitalia, who isn't qualified, can have the job.
It's only fair, right?
How often are men awarded spousal support, or given custody of their children in a divorce? Basically, if the mother's not in prison, she takes the kids (and a nice fat "child support" check to go with it). If by some miracle, a man does get alimony, he's considered to be a "deadbeat", and a "freeloader".
For women, it's a badge of honor to bankrupt their ex. "I got the house, and the cars, and I get $2000 a month in alimony, and that loser lives in a 1 bedroom apt, and has to work 3 jobs, just to pay for my alimony. I really showed him!"
It's all just a part of the "victimhood" game that our society likes to play. If you don't make it in life, it's somebody else's fault.
Boy it sure does make for a nice bit**ing session when you just start complaining about how the world's out to get you.
