Supafly345 | Women aren't leaders because it takes real testosterone to be one. You have to be cruel, tyrranical, and make sure everyone knows you have great big cajones. | ||

Perndog | Then move it. You're the site owner, right? BAPE told me so. | ||

PonchtheJedi | Wouldn't child birth also be a factor in why women have fewer CEO positions? I mean, unless I'm mistaken, women get up to three months (?) off for maternity leave. A quarter of a year is a long time to be away from work. I'm guessing the people who are doing your share of the work while you are birthing children are getting the promotions and such. But I'm guessing that's a pretty minimal factor. | ||

Perndog | Or because they don't want them. Ever think of that one? Sort of like gender-based affirmative action in colleges, where some schools need to put the same money into men's and women's athletics or have the same number of teams for each gender, even if four times more men are athletes than women. They weren't conditioned to not be athletes - they just don't want to! It could be the same thing in this case, though I don't know any corporate businesswomen (or businessmen, for that matter) and I've never been to England, so I can't say it's a familiar topic to me. | ||

Anonymous | No, they don't get them because they're stupid. | ||

Dole | jesus, come on thats fucking ridiculous....women don't get these jobs because they are too scared to do them?? | ||

Emu | But that begs the question of if that gap exists because the women who are available for that position are being discriminated against, or they're simply not as good at it as the men in similar positions are. I don't know how it is in the UK, but most women I know say they're terrified of leadership positions. Is this a common thing among women? | ||

Anonymous | Women aren't CEOs because they're too insecure about starting a company. I mean, what if people don't like their products? It's enough to make someone cry. :< | ||

Dole | Of course there are people who take these things too far (I know a descendent of one of the suffragettes and she is a major pain in the ass and has an enormous chip on her shoulder because of her heritage) but there are still massive discrepancies in the UK between male and female wages for equivalent jobs. Also there are a tiny proportion of female CEOs, execs, MPs, etc compared to males.....So there is still justification for 'womens lib'. Its not fair to assume that every female who would campaign on such issues is some hirsute man hater. | ||

hotornot is blocked by my school's computers I'm gonna have to hop on the bandwagon and agree with Pern too. I personally don't give a shit if they don't shave their pits or don't wear bras or not, though. |

Anonymous | My girlfriend is taking a women's studies course at essex and hates pretty much everyone in the class. They all think they're entitled to all sorts of things because of their gender, to the extent that some blacks push it with slavery and their ancestors. I too agree with the P-dog. | ||

brandinoel | As a chick I totaly agree with pern. I hate women libers; for god sake it's one thing to have double standards for men and women like not getting a job because your a woman, or not being able to vote because your a woman. But last time I checked I was being treated pretty fairly and I don't think not shaving your pits will do anything for your rights it'll only make you gross. Not wearing a bra well that's another thing, makes flashing a guy easier, and b bs will get you anywhere. | ||

Big Papa Goat | I hate to be the devils advocate, but I'm going to agree with Pern on this one too. | ||
Feb 23rd, 2004 12:50 AM | |||
Brandon | I'm with Pern on this one. I won't say anything more, because this topic is like a minefield. | ||

Command Prompt |
I don't know much about feminism, but how does not shaving your pits make you liberated? I just thought it made you European. PS- True story, one time I was on the bus, and a big sweaty fat guy came in and sat down. He was wearing a shirt that had someting written on it. It was in that psuedo-70's type and said "This is what a feminist looks like." I still think this is a funny antedote, but my uptight, artsy female friends don't. |

And I have not taken a women's studies course, because the women I know aren't oppressed and I don't care about the women I haven't met yet. Nor do I care about the history of feminism or believe that women have ever existed as their own culture worth independent study (a society is a group of men and women, not a group of men coexisting with a group of women). So such a class would have nothing interesting or useful to teach me. |
