yes. Women want more balance and flexibility between work and home life. Flexible hours and time off, etc, as well as jobs they enjoy more but might not pay as well.
yeah because men are the ones that have to pay for everything, women never pay for stuff
No. I see no evidence of this at all.
Men also take more strenuous jobs as well as more hazardous jobs. But yes your assessment is a widely accepted one and is the basis for the myth of the wage gap.
Men are more likely to be attracted to jobs that pay the most money even if they are boring and stressful. As a result, they end up ruining their health and die sooner than most women do.
"Hard sciences" doesn't pay. A person with an undergraduate chemistry or physics or biology degree won't find a job in those fields. In order to make money with a 'hard sciences' degree such as those I've mentioned one would need a PhD. Economics is a social sciences discipline and an undergrad (or even a master's degree) will get you a job as a bank teller. As far as I am aware just as many women as men get business degrees. Women define "success" differently than men.
yes coz men can't get pregnant and they are't really into childcare, so they can always get attached to a single profession whereas for a married woman with children, she's already commited to double profession, in house and out house, therefore in order to balance both, she has to take jobs that aren't very heavy so that she won't lose more in the family's domestic profession
Yes thats why there is a wage gap. Feminists want us to pay women more money for less work. EW YORK (Reuters) - Young women who want to beat men to the big bucks should get a one-way ticket to the closest big U.S. city, a New York study showed. The research, completed by the Department of Sociology at Queens College in New York, showed full-time female employees in their 20s surpassing same-age males in cities like Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis, Dallas and New York. In Dallas, these women earn 20 percent more than men, while in New York City they earn 17 percent more. "After age 30, women are no longer ahead," said Andrew Beveridge, a Queens College sociology professor who analyzed 2005 census data for the study, which was first published in June. "But that may change since there is a definite narrowing of the gap and increase in education for all women in big cities."
yes men do much more work for society in their jobs and also all the time women are saying they want to do every job and had equal rights and all that crap but when it comes to a dirty job like a garbage man its ok for all the men to do it instead.
statistic research prove it
For the most part, yes, but if you are looking at shear numbers and statistics, the data is skewed because of the number of men versus the number of women working.
