Perhaps because, given the choice between hiring a man or a woman for the same job, most employers prefer men for most jobs.

That is changing rapidly since women are paid less for doing a better job.
INSTRAW review news ticker: Gulf States - Survey - Employers Pre


Employers in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including
the UAE, prefer women employees for various positions, as they cost 10 per cent less than their male counterparts with a similar profile and perform the same function, according to a new survey.

The survey, conducted by Gulf Talents.com, a Dubai-based online
recruiting agency said: “The employers have started recruiting female
candidates even for some jobs which were preserved for men a few years ago. The trend in selecting experienced employees also changed last year. Instead of recruiting experienced employees who can contribute to the organisation from day one, employers showed interest in hiring less experienced graduates and investing in their training and development.”
Responding to the survey findings, B. R. Shetty, CEO and Managing
Director of the UAE Exchange, said: “I have always preferred to select
female candidates since they are as good as male candidates. Women do not waste time and always concentrate on their jobs. I personally feel female candidates are more committed than their male counterparts and they work harder.” M. A. Yousufali, Managing Director, Emke group, said: “We used to hire female candidates and male candidates in equal proportion. Normally, the female candidates seem to be more hard working. They always concentrate on the work and do not waste time.”
The greatest danger to liberty lurks in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.

No it isn't. Unless you want to take the attitude that the male owns the female. That's no steps forward and a thousand steps backwards.



Do you feel that abortion is analogous to cutting your hair? And likewise, do you feel that your curling iron is necessary in the growth of your hair?
Sorry, you missed the analogy. Abortion is not analogous to cutting your hair. Caring about what the bartending vibrator thinks is analogous to caring about what your curling iron thinks of a haircut.

The simple truth is that the roles of the sexes have changed over the past few decades. Just as men had no respect for female whores in the 70's, women have no respect for male whores today.

If you want a woman to respect your feelings and opinions, be someone she can respect.

If you prefer to be a bartending vibrator, you've got no grounds to object when you are treated that way.

Really? You mean that? Honestly?

So, since we're not talking about a 'uterus', you would have no problem with the woman removing the unborn baby from HER uterus and giving it to you?

Goody! That solves the 'abortion problem' as far as you are concerned. All she has to do is let you have the embryo once it's removed.

Or do you wish to change your statement and admit that the womans uterus is a necessary part of YOU getting what YOU want?
