They were free to stay home enjoy raising their children and chatting to their girlfriends about handbags and hairdos over coffee.

Despite decades of equality we still don't see many woman working in coal mines, tiling rooves in the middle of summer or swinging off girder 80 stories up on a windy November afternoon.

Women continue to leave the "heavy lifting" to us men.

That's why women have always lived longer than men, and still do today.

Yet they still love to wallow in victimhood and portray men as abusers!






And please give me your evidence that men are still predominantly the bread winners. Women might still be the primary caretakers, but the majority work outside of the home as well.

According to the latest US Census bureau information:

Earnings

• New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maryland had median earnings above $50,000 for men that worked full time, year-round in 2006. Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey and the District of Columbia were the only states or state equivalents where median earnings for women who worked full time, year-round were above $40,000.
  
  
• In each of the 50 states, women had lower median earnings than men in 2006.

As far as the argument about the CEO goes, I already said that someone who performs a job that they are paid a salary for, isn't required to give sexual favors to the boss, not anymore anyway. A prostitute isn't the employer, she is providing a service. The employer is not offering a service, he is offering to forward a career based on nothing but sexual favors. That is far more immoral than prostitution is.
