I think you're extrapolating a bit too much beetnemesis - 11/01/2011 06:45:38 PM 1138 Views

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 1122 Views

I don't trust the figures. Rebekah - 11/01/2011 06:50:24 PM 1142 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 585 Views

One might assume that, but it's not necessarily so. Rebekah - 12/01/2011 08:58:14 PM 1097 Views

While I don't 100% agree with the article, some feminists annoy me no end. Rebekah - 11/01/2011 06:47:03 PM 1158 Views

yeah prett much anything gross that isn't in a diaper is my job random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:12:11 AM 1076 Views

It's not just that choice though. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:12:48 PM 1196 Views

It feels more hypocritical coming from feminists than "traditionalists". *NM* Rebekah - 11/01/2011 07:17:24 PM 618 Views

For you maybe. Sareitha Sedai - 11/01/2011 07:27:52 PM 1134 Views

there is definitely some SAHM snobbery random thoughts - 11/01/2011 08:43:21 PM 1098 Views

Well. Rebekah - 11/01/2011 09:34:42 PM 1169 Views

I agree. I would also like to add, if I may...

Avendesora - 12/01/2011 01:27:59 AM 1137 Views

all 25 of them? random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:14:56 AM 1078 Views

Pffft, look it up a bit. You might find info on the national propaganda radio (NPR) site.

Avendesora - 12/01/2011 12:47:33 PM 1104 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 985 Views

I agree, it's very difficult. Avendesora - 12/01/2011 03:14:59 PM 1031 Views

it is nuanced random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:06:39 PM 1054 Views

Re: it is nuanced Avendesora - 12/01/2011 04:58:36 PM 1076 Views

You are spot on. As usual. About everything. *NM* Tashmere - 12/01/2011 01:42:18 AM 657 Views

Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 02:25:59 PM 1046 Views

I have to admit that this bothers me. rebelaessedai - 11/01/2011 07:33:09 PM 1146 Views

I don't expect people to understand my choice necessarily. Rebekah - 11/01/2011 09:36:52 PM 1160 Views

In addition... Jacob - 12/01/2011 05:39:25 PM 1042 Views

I guess you think the same of me then.

Clover - 11/01/2011 09:48:31 PM 1027 Views

Another one?

rebelaessedai - 12/01/2011 06:01:43 AM 1055 Views

not to mention nossy - 12/01/2011 05:11:42 PM 1091 Views

In addition Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 05:23:25 PM 1029 Views

you don't want kids? random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:46:25 PM 1045 Views

bleck

nossy - 12/01/2011 11:14:25 PM 1043 Views

again not the vibe I get from you random thoughts - 12/01/2011 11:38:26 PM 1030 Views

Hehe. Clover - 13/01/2011 12:15:06 AM 1081 Views

Not selfish. Tashmere - 13/01/2011 02:45:43 AM 1042 Views

You don't have to be a doctor to contribute to the world random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:27:26 PM 1103 Views

Poor Aeryn Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 05:29:47 PM 1031 Views

I replied before she edited random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:41:53 PM 984 Views

Am I at least absolved from having to respond? Aeryn - 15/01/2011 06:11:27 AM 1070 Views

Certainly.

*NM* Rebekah - 15/01/2011 09:40:09 AM 657 Views

The primary issue... Jacob - 12/01/2011 05:52:42 PM 1008 Views

*NM* Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 05:54:29 PM 587 Views

Agreed; ironically, that first line applies to this thread and mine with the parenting article. Joel - 13/01/2011 10:00:28 PM 1162 Views

What Rebekah said... Clover - 15/01/2011 07:55:34 PM 1018 Views

Me too! Clover - 11/01/2011 09:43:57 PM 1104 Views

Re: Me too! Darth_Katie - 12/01/2011 01:23:39 AM 1098 Views

It has been a long, long time since I have seen a woman getting looked down on for staying at home. Tashmere - 12/01/2011 01:48:42 AM 978 Views

I have a fiancee like that.

Joel - 12/01/2011 02:14:53 AM 1047 Views

I feel so fortunate to be a stay at home mom. Beqi - 12/01/2011 11:32:37 PM 1009 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 1145 Views

I think all of that makes sense random thoughts - 11/01/2011 08:36:39 PM 1072 Views

In this particular case I don't disagree with you. SilverWarder - 11/01/2011 09:28:13 PM 992 Views

I'm not sure why either sex should surpass the other in math. Joel - 12/01/2011 02:34:09 AM 980 Views

men have more physical strength period random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:30:14 AM 1003 Views

There's a lot more to running (especially marathons) then leg strength. Joel - 12/01/2011 05:41:11 AM 988 Views

how much time the experts spend being wrong doesn't make them less wrong random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:16:10 PM 995 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 998 Views

your right it is just a coincidence that their results always matches their politics random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:56:03 PM 1047 Views

There's definitely such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy. Joel - 12/01/2011 07:00:23 PM 1008 Views

so you would trust them if they only admitted conseratives? random thoughts - 12/01/2011 09:51:00 PM 1029 Views

Admitted? No, but they'll take anyone with the grades. Joel - 13/01/2011 09:47:42 PM 1016 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 960 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 1076 Views

not when we know men are better at math thewpmen are

random thoughts - 13/01/2011 11:10:18 PM 1102 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 916 Views

When you talk about reasons men "should" be better at math Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 03:47:53 PM 1050 Views

Re: When you talk about reasons men "should" be better at math Macharius - 12/01/2011 04:32:38 PM 965 Views

Re: When you talk about reasons men "should" be better at math Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 04:41:42 PM 1041 Views

Both, really; the latter is a consequence of the former. Joel - 12/01/2011 05:21:28 PM 938 Views

I'm trying to understand your position Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 05:28:43 PM 996 Views

try string theory, it makes more sense than Joel logic

random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:57:27 PM 955 Views

Now you've got it. Joel - 12/01/2011 06:40:50 PM 1099 Views

Okay, that's fair. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 06:42:30 PM 569 Views

Glad we were able to reach an understanding. Joel - 13/01/2011 10:02:47 PM 989 Views

Re: I'm trying to understand your position Camilla - 13/01/2011 08:12:05 PM 1029 Views

we know the brain of women works differently then the brains of men random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:40:15 PM 1039 Views

What evidence I'm aware of seems inconclusive. Joel - 12/01/2011 06:46:50 PM 917 Views

There are theories but of course they are unprovable random thoughts - 12/01/2011 10:50:08 PM 1011 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 926 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 985 Views

I have, and have frequently argued everyone holds such beliefs. Joel - 13/01/2011 10:33:01 PM 877 Views

here is some evdience to argue that it is not society but biology random thoughts - 13/01/2011 08:43:43 PM 1035 Views

I think you did like I always do and forgot to give us a way to click your link.

Joel - 13/01/2011 09:56:52 PM 1035 Views

oops random thoughts - 13/01/2011 10:07:55 PM 1078 Views

Seems like that's an argument for both views, in a way. Joel - 13/01/2011 11:14:11 PM 955 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 1184 Views

I used YOUR article to "prove" what it says outright.

Joel - 15/01/2011 05:35:27 PM 1145 Views

I would also like to say this: Rebekah - 11/01/2011 09:33:23 PM 1019 Views

Of course Tom - 12/01/2011 01:47:14 AM 1053 Views

"Night" is also almost invariably feminine, in my experience. Legolas - 12/01/2011 07:58:12 PM 1069 Views

Re: "Night" is also almost invariably feminine, in my experience. Camilla - 12/01/2011 08:15:59 PM 1045 Views

It's true for Arabic and hence, one suspects, Hebrew. Legolas - 13/01/2011 07:43:21 PM 974 Views

I'm glad YOU think it's fun... Joel - 13/01/2011 10:05:07 PM 1017 Views

I seem to remember reading about genders in Norwegian once, but I forget now... Legolas - 13/01/2011 10:11:24 PM 1061 Views

I think you may be right, but I'll no more after next week. Joel - 14/01/2011 12:20:54 AM 1146 Views

The two are used as different psychological concepts. Darth_Katie - 12/01/2011 02:24:58 PM 1011 Views

Again, used incorrectly. Tom - 12/01/2011 03:34:22 PM 991 Views

Re: Again, used incorrectly. Camilla - 12/01/2011 04:00:59 PM 1064 Views

Exactly. *NM* Rebekah - 12/01/2011 04:53:03 PM 582 Views

It really doesn't surprise me Beqi - 12/01/2011 12:36:19 AM 1026 Views

Have you left a memo at the Feminist Movement's Office? Dannymac - 12/01/2011 12:46:45 AM 1054 Views

what the point? Like good liberals they only believe science that agrees with them

*NM* random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:31:09 AM 508 Views

Actually, the feminist movement was completely successful. Tom - 12/01/2011 01:42:44 AM 1061 Views

Well put. *NM* everynametaken - 12/01/2011 02:10:56 AM 572 Views

I was playing a bit but I agree that the feminist in the past accomplished a lot random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:34:04 AM 1069 Views

NOW is just a left-leaning PAC. Tom - 12/01/2011 03:16:52 PM 1017 Views

I would argue the women's movement and the feminist movement are not the same thing random thoughts - 12/01/2011 03:53:19 PM 980 Views

Now if only others were so rational about it. SilverWarder - 17/01/2011 05:55:57 AM 2036 Views

Nevermind, Tom beat me to it. Avendesora - 12/01/2011 01:54:07 AM 992 Views

Mmm. I don't think you understand the feminist movement. You have been reading to many things Tashmere - 12/01/2011 01:56:20 AM 1057 Views

I was refering to groups like NOW random thoughts - 12/01/2011 05:40:46 AM 992 Views

Gotcha. Tashmere - 12/01/2011 11:53:29 PM 995 Views

I was being a tad bit trollish with my title random thoughts - 13/01/2011 01:47:30 AM 955 Views

I'm not sure that follows, at all. Joel - 12/01/2011 02:06:41 AM 960 Views

they never mention their study methods Ava - 12/01/2011 02:14:15 PM 1052 Views

Gosh, look what you started.

nossy - 12/01/2011 03:00:23 PM 1046 Views

I agree that it would be awesome to hang with my kid every day and not have to work. TaskmasterJack - 12/01/2011 11:33:25 PM 1052 Views

that part would be great random thoughts - 12/01/2011 11:40:49 PM 1012 Views

I could do it every day. TaskmasterJack - 13/01/2011 12:52:56 AM 936 Views

Me too... Jacob - 13/01/2011 02:45:49 PM 1065 Views

So here's the question. Why don't men have a "choice" to opt-out? Aeryn - 15/01/2011 06:13:28 AM 1044 Views

They do. Rebekah - 15/01/2011 09:42:29 AM 991 Views

read further up the thread random thoughts - 15/01/2011 10:49:08 AM 1066 Views

I really wish that were more socially acceptable. Clover - 15/01/2011 07:58:57 PM 1078 Views

I feel I have that choice. TaskmasterJack - 16/01/2011 12:08:48 AM 1004 Views

They most certainly do. Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:39:09 PM 1111 Views

This sounds awful to me.
