I'm sure that Cambridge Institute is devoted to researching why the gender of words does not agree across languages. Note that "hand" is feminine in almost every language that has gender, however, because of early mythologies where the Creator-God, having no partner, is forced to masturbate to generate everything else.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

The aricle does mention that women feel pressured to work when they did not want to random thoughts - 11/01/2011 06:48:47 PM 1226 Views
I don't trust the figures. Rebekah - 11/01/2011 06:50:24 PM 1255 Views
One assumes the latter, to the extent that "same job with same experience" can be defined. *NM* Legolas - 12/01/2011 07:10:13 PM 626 Views
One might assume that, but it's not necessarily so. Rebekah - 12/01/2011 08:58:14 PM 1210 Views

It's not just that choice though. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:12:48 PM 1307 Views
It feels more hypocritical coming from feminists than "traditionalists". *NM* Rebekah - 11/01/2011 07:17:24 PM 659 Views
For you maybe. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:27:52 PM 1237 Views

It's a difficult dynamic even under the best of circumstances, when both partners have chosen it. Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 02:25:20 PM 1095 Views
I agree, it's very difficult. Avendesora - 12/01/2011 03:14:59 PM 1121 Views

My commentary on the whys and wherefores of this stuff would be way too politically incorrect SilverWarder - 11/01/2011 07:56:24 PM 1275 Views
I think all of that makes sense random thoughts - 11/01/2011 08:36:39 PM 1175 Views
In this particular case I don't disagree with you. SilverWarder - 11/01/2011 09:28:13 PM 1105 Views

There's a lot more to running (especially marathons) then leg strength. Joel - 12/01/2011 05:41:11 AM 1119 Views
how much time the experts spend being wrong doesn't make them less wrong random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:16:10 PM 1090 Views
How much more time they've spent studying it before drawing conclusions makes a big difference. Joel - 12/01/2011 05:42:26 PM 1103 Views
your right it is just a coincidence that their results always matches their politics random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:56:03 PM 1146 Views
There's definitely such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy. Joel - 12/01/2011 07:00:23 PM 1108 Views
so you would trust them if they only admitted conseratives? random thoughts - 12/01/2011 09:51:00 PM 1136 Views
Admitted? No, but they'll take anyone with the grades. Joel - 13/01/2011 09:47:42 PM 1134 Views
Every study I have seen shows most schools have few to no non-leberal proffesors random thoughts - 13/01/2011 10:07:08 PM 1072 Views
Every study I've ever seen shows that math and science fields have few to no women. Joel - 13/01/2011 10:42:46 PM 1170 Views
not when we know men are better at math thewpmen are random thoughts - 13/01/2011 11:10:18 PM 1209 Views
Sigh... we know no such thing, and even if we did, it would be those biased liberals telling us. Joel - 13/01/2011 11:30:33 PM 1041 Views

I'm trying to understand your position Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 05:28:43 PM 1108 Views

we know the brain of women works differently then the brains of men random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:40:15 PM 1158 Views
What evidence I'm aware of seems inconclusive. Joel - 12/01/2011 06:46:50 PM 1004 Views
There are theories but of course they are unprovable random thoughts - 12/01/2011 10:50:08 PM 1103 Views
That's a logical rationale, and might even be accurate, but in this case I want hard evidence. Joel - 13/01/2011 09:03:32 PM 1040 Views
I think if you look you find you believe all sorts of things that can't be proven random thoughts - 13/01/2011 10:03:54 PM 1109 Views
I have, and have frequently argued everyone holds such beliefs. Joel - 13/01/2011 10:33:01 PM 989 Views

oops random thoughts - 13/01/2011 10:07:55 PM 1169 Views
Seems like that's an argument for both views, in a way. Joel - 13/01/2011 11:14:11 PM 1062 Views
You can use anything to prove what you want if you are willing to spin it hard enough random thoughts - 14/01/2011 02:57:29 PM 1287 Views
I used YOUR article to "prove" what it says outright. Joel - 15/01/2011 05:35:27 PM 1247 Views
