Feminists: A Question? The …… wage differentials and discrimination in employment?
Do you really believe that men and women doing the same job are paid differently and the world is controlled by greedy men who seek to hold women back, and take care of this sort? I think capitalism is going to pay whatever price is necessary now to perform a job. I have hired before and two things are clear: women arn't as good at bargaining for wages as men. Employers are afraid to employ women in key jobs because of maternity leave and statistically record worse disease (the old joke of men not being able to cope with the disease may be true, but we took a hell of a lot less sick), and also money women find attractive in men in all, therefore to find a better quality of fellow men are more motivated to work harder hard for your money. Do you agree? If you do, do you think that a company is justified in choosing a man for a woman, because statistics show that Women are much more likely to be a cost and burden of the company?
Congratulations, my friend! You hit the nail on the head a couple of areas …. First Instead, women are not as good at negotiating their interests. I could not take the plea, but I've noticed that myself. And at the end of the day, when someone accept the job at the agreed salary … Why do we have to listen to them complain about how little it's worth? If it were not enough, she should not have accepted the job! And if she feels a man is paying more for the same work she does … she has every right to prove it in court. The burden of proof is on her to show they are doing the same job, the same capacity and putting in just as many hours. And as for hiring women of childbearing age … I was an owner of a business in Canada … where women can take up to 18 months off. I made a practice of not hiring women in this category since then no … positions great importance and authority. I know, I know … it is illegal. Well … What other choice did he have? If I'm trying to run a business, I want a staff that is present and focused on taking the business. Having to stop and hire replacements fairly regularly was having a negative impact on the bottom line … so became a little more selective in my hiring practices. And yes … I am a woman.
