Equality for Women

Re: Equality for Women

How many guys you want lined up in front of you that got screwed by the system? I don't need numbers made up by fake "organizations".

None, keep the lineup of men; that would be a futile exercise. "The plural of anecdote is not data." That's science/research 101, son.

Re: Equality for Women

Statistics isn't science, you can't prove or disprove any of it without access to factual data which isn't available to everyone. Although you'll find how unbalanced the system is and the cards are stacked up against men since they earn the most money and lawyers and government migrate towards money and don't care about fairness.

Joint custody on the rise in divorce settlements, Statistics Canada finds
Marriages most likely to fall apart after four years

Divorcing parents settle disputes over their children with shared custody arrangements more than a third of the time now, capping a rise from single digits when the Divorce Act came into force in 1986, Statistics Canada said yesterday.

National divorce figures from 2000, released yesterday, show that 37.2% of custody battles are settled with joint custody, 53.5% with custody awarded to the mother, and 9.1% with custody going to the father.

The figures are based on an analysis of 71,144 divorces in 2000.

Re: Equality for Women

Talking about women equality - this is an impressive statistic for us:

60% of leading positions held by women in Armenia

March 08, 2011 | 19:29
At present, women hold only 20% of leading positions in companies worldwide. Only 8% of women hold the posts of president or general manager, ITAR-TASS reports, referring to a survey conducted by the Grant Thornton company in 39 countries.

Among the leaders are Georgia (40%), Russia (36%) and Philippines (35%).

In 2009, 60% of leading positions were held by women in Armenia.

Talking about women equality - this is an impressive statistic for us:

Those numbers are bs. That's even higher than Sweden, where the law forces women into management position over men. If that number were true, then Armenia would be on the verge of destruction, but the real figure would be less than 10%.

Re: Equality for Women

The news reporting, as always is B.S. I'm guessing (feel free to confirm with facts) they surveyed a certain amount of people and asked whether or not they felt women held top positions and 60% replied yes. The news articles twisted it around to make it appear as though 60% of top positions were held by women.

The women accusing Walmart of sex discrimination

If it goes ahead, it will be the largest sex discrimination lawsuit in American history. The US Supreme Court will soon decide whether to allow a class action on behalf of more than a million women - against the world's largest retailer, Walmart.

Why some women are ruining it for the rest. When someone who has less seniority than me gets a promotion, what are my rights as a man? Oh yeah, I have none. When life is a b!tch, I just smack it around and move on.

Should male waiters start suing the general public for not getting as much tips as waitresses? Class action lawsuit. Waiters vs. the Public for sex discrimination

Re: Equality for Women

Insurers cannot charge different premiums to men and women because of their gender, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled.

The decision means that women can no longer be charged lower car insurance premiums than men, and the cost of buying a pensions annuity will change.

They will use this change to charge everyone more than they currently do.

The European Court of Justice's decision to ban gender pricing on insurance- related products prompted a lot of cheap headlines this week, but will it really impact on us all in terms of higher insurance costs and lower annuity rates? Certainly it seems that some insurers see the move as a chance to boost profits.

Announcing his firm's results on Wednesday – the day after the EU ruling – Henry Engelhardt, chief executive of the Admiral Group, admitted: "As an insurer I'm pleased. We will raise rates for young women: we won't bring them down much for young men. That means more profit."

Other insurers have been more circumspect about the impact. Specialist women's insurer Sheila's Wheels said: "The ruling will affect millions of women across the EU from 21 December 2012, causing premiums to rise artificially in a way that no longer truly reflects women's risk as drivers or the cost of their claims."

Meanwhile Adrian Brown boss of More Than – owned by RSA – said: "The judgment flies in the face of common sense. It is completely disadvantageous to the very people it was intended to protect and prevents insurers from using a legitimate rating factor. Once again consumers are going to have to pay the price for an illogical change in the law."

As long as everyone suffers equally, I'm fine with it.
