No, "Greatest I am", women can't rule the world! You're gnostic.

Have you forgotten 1 Timothy 2:12?

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent."

Yeah, 60% of the degrees, but don't celebrate too soon. A lot of degrees are just very expensive toilet paper, more of a burden than a boon, especially when you hear about these people paying 100k for a degree.

Now, what is the gender breakdown of men/women getting valuable degrees, and men/women getting degrees in basket weaving? How many women are in STEM degrees (as well as medicine I suppose...)? I'm under the impression there is a rather large shortage of women there (though it's improving slowly), but that's from memory.

Edit: Ah-ha! A Department of commerce report:

Much of this is correct, but it can be a bit misleading. Time magazine actually had a story on the wage gap a year or so ago and it had some interesting insights and studies on the topic. I may have to see if I can look it up sometime.

Yes, women have had a history of avoiding science fields. Sort of. When it comes to medicine, women have been getting more degrees. In fact, the researcher who compiled the ifo predicted that women will soon dominate the medical and law fields. I do wonder, when she said women will have the medicine jobs, do they mean more women are becoming doctors than men or is the title 'medicine' including nurses as well as doctors? I ask that because I know enough about nursing to know that in that field, it wouldn't surprise me to see women out number men by a 5-to-1 ratio. If they mean 'big-tent-medicine,' then it's entirely possible that nurses are the reason women are taking over medicine.

But, science fields are kinda not that important as far as the wage gap goes. As much as I feel like this career path is inhabited by money-grubbing psychopaths, the money jobs are in business. Look at the brokers on Wall Street, look at the bankers, look at the corporate executives. My grandfather was an accountant for Tyson chicken and he was loaded. That's where the money is, that's probably playing a huge role towards the wage gap and there isn't even an especially strong push to get women into business careers. I guess you could argue that these are math careers, especially accounting, but the social push seems to be to get women into science fields. Science is good and admirable and everything, but it won't close the wage gap.

But I also think there's one other important thing that needs to be done to close the wage gap: pay attention to the men! Men don't feel comfortable with being a house husband because it's so socially unacceptable to be one. Men feel like they have to go out and earn good money because society judges men based largely on how much they make. Fact is, if women want to close that wage gap, we need the men to stay home and take care of the house and kids while we do it. Thing is, unless things change on their side of the war of the sexes, they aren't going to do it.

True, some forms of business degrees as well, I missed those, though they've become a bit of a joke (depends on type/place I suppose). And yeah I'd count that as maths, and many maths/physics students end up in finance as I understand it.

Yup, advocate for all of STEM, not just S.

Allied health (Speech pathology especially, like a 20-1 ratio), is female dominated.

table 12 (page 43) is very interesting.

and I was wrong, closer to 30-1.

And table 19 (p52) shows the hours each gender is (or was, data is from 2001) working

[A Theist]

Women are for weeping, not for ruling the world.

At first I didn't think this boy was serious.

Hey buddy I have a purse that looks similar to yours, did you get your's at Macy's?
Did you wait for the sale or just throw budget to the wind and buy it full price?

Weeper is right, tears are rolling down my eyes from laughter.

I got mine at Home Depot...works out just fine for carrying my tools. Carpentry is something else women can't do either, (because they're afraid they'd break a nail...waaaah!!!!)...women are supposed to stay home and weep about everything.

Excellent. Yes, my favorite scripture from the Apostle Paul...I just hate it when when a woman sits around the house and jacks her jaws when I'm trying to watch T.V.....A woman must learn silence when a man is trying to watch the Big Game on the sports channel!

You mean your toys. You wouldn't be trying to over compensate for something.

Please the day you stopped touching your wood is the day you became a construction worker.
Can't do physically? I am fine with that. Men like you are for such. Just don't think, your not worth the cost of R&R.

(because they're afraid they'd break a nail...waaaah!!!!)...

Quite. Think defense.

women are supposed to stay home and weep about everything.

Most assured this is the only type of woman you're capable of having and deserving of.

Apparently you are not a good provider as the good book says you should be.
Perhpas the sound of a man's voice soothes you. Then again, your god is male, and you have a 'special' relationship with him.........

[Something completely different]

I posted my opinion on this already somewhere else.

I myself also have an idealised view of what the woman I would want to spend my life with should be like, but I dont use the phrasing "women should be like this".

Since women are individuals and not subject to a persons will on how they should behave like.

...your, should be spelled, you're in this instance...(men can spell better than women too)!

I think you're taking me the wrong way. I'm not a chauvinist...I do actually believe that men should place women on high pedestals, (as it makes it much easier for men to look up their dresses)!....besides, women are much worse than men are when it comes to watching their T.V. shows...just let a guy tell a woman to get up and make him a sandwich when she's watching 'Dances With the Stars' or 'American Idol'....I mean, they actually give guys a look as if we should be getting up and making our own sandwiches! Unbelievable!
