  • I don't know if you're purposely missing the point. Some of the world's wealthiest people are billionaire women. That doesn't mean sexism doesn't exist. Lots of women having high paid jobs doesn't mean there aren't more women than men being paid for the same work, or for similar amounts of effort.

    You talk about me wing one sided while thinking women doing fully time child care would have time to study to advance their career? Lol, no.

    Children take a large amount of time and resources to raise. The way society is set up, women are expected and obliged to sacrifice time, men are expected to provide resources. In the mens case, this means pressure to advance, through promotion or a higher paid role. For women the pressure is to cut down on work and responsibilities at work to the detriment of their long term career.

    You talk about men having to sacrifice a preferred career ro take a better paid one. How do you think it goes for the woman's preferred career while full time caring for kids? The end result is both parties would lose their preferred careers but in the man's case he ends up wealthier.

  • Men are shouldered with the financial struggle? Do you mean in a couple with a relationship? So, from your hypothesis, both parents have pressure placed in them by having children. In men's case it's to their financial benefit and for women it's to their financial detriment. Does that not make society sexist in your view? This kind of sexism is what is called structural inequality. It leads to lower wages for women. However, as much as that is an issue, there is also an issue of women getting paid less for the same work. That also happens but can be harder to measure

    Yes, everyone on the system can choose to partake differently but they are swimming against the tide tondo so.

  • I've also seen women with no children with both low and high salaries. The point is not what is possible to happen, but what tends to happen. Women get childcare imposed on them at the cost of their careers and income.

    Then there is also the problem that jobs traditionally taken by women are paid less than men. So, again, a man working as a nurse or in childcare is paid less also, but the level of education and work required for these roles is not commensurate with the pay for similar roles for men, like in trades.

  • Part of the gender pay gap is because women have to leave their careers to raise children. Either because of societal expectations or the father is not present. Same pay for same work is all well and good when you have only one to think about.

    Add the loss of income at that time, to the loss of experience and chance to advance. Then add discrimination and sexism.

  • It reminds me more of Nazis as they were more methodical with data and purpose. I'd be surprised if this was written or acted after trumps inauguration. Funny, not funny, how it can echo both.

    I've seen references to the senators speech, so I'm looking forward to that.

  • I’m on,y half way through, but season 2 has Gorman people speaking with French accents and forming a resistance movement. The empire is performing audits of farming and crops. messaging is by radio signal and bugs are hidden in offices with nearby people monitoring over earpieces. It still seems to be nazism from last century, but of course there are echoes in any authoritarian situation, including today.

    Furthering the discussion more generally, battlestar galactica had a great season on new caprica where the humans were terrorists undermining the cyclon rulers. This was aired during gulf 2, so was very topical.

  • lol, he likely hasn’t done that either. Those ships will be shipping those goods elsewhere. However, global supply chains, as much as they save money are less environmentally friendly. So, hopefully, if trade becomes less USA centric, there is an increase in lateral trade within Asia and closer partners. Given the USA is one of the least environmentally friendly countries, I would expect any increase in production there to be worse than chinas emissions.

  • Sometimes the reason there is no use for it is because the data was unavailable. With larger data throughput, more and better services may become available.

    Even when you consider common stuff like gaming, it often takes a while to fully download or update games.

  • Politicians can do it. Companies can't. It's ridiculous. We have the laws in place. Just remove the exemption. Same with political advertising. Lots of exemptions that don't pass the smell test.
