Sydney university offer male only scholarship feminists are upset

Ah yes, of course a lad on TSR knows better than the examination authorities who added these statistics into their course structures.
I mean obviously you know better than the professionals who conducted these studies and the SQA as well as other examination authorities. Would recommend you contact them to tell them the truth, sure they'll listen.

In other words, it's pretty much accepted by everyone there is a gender pay gap.

Technically 18% now but that's still pretty rubbish.

And yes, many women work part time but many don't. And they also don't get promoted much either if they are part time I believe. Miss out on many opportunities.

Less than half of CEO's are women, likely it's much less. Considering how many women do graduate from university, it is wrong that there are barely any in leading roles.

Yes it's illegal to discriminate based on gender but it's practised often. Companies get away with it because most companies don't publish pay, most people don't talk about pay and so, many don't know they're being paid less. But they are.

So you are taking a social justice degree says it all did you ever think that maybe if you didn't take a toilet paper degree then you could help reduce the pay gap

Wow we're ******* roasting this feminist scum

Just because she has opposing views does not make her scum. She may be wrong or misinformed but theres no need for character attacks. All that does is lower the tone of the debate and polarises politics further

Tbh when I originally wrote what I said I didn't expect so many people to reply to me. If I had I would have wrote more detailed statistics and perhaps wouldn't have said anything because it was a complete waste of time.

By replying again I ended up getting even more replies and it escalated to people implying I'm "feminist scum". Which is too far. And being happy to have "roasted" feminist scum is nothing for anyone to be proud of doing.
To be honest, I'm clearly not going to get anywhere with these people.

I didn't reply to people's comments because A- I'd made my point B- They're clearly too opinionated in their views and I am too C- Too many replies. Very time consuming and unexpected.

I also didn't want more people to see the thread as it's pretty offensive and patronising some of it IMO.

And the question on inequality towards women never showed up in the exam in the end.

Men enjoy a free 20% higher pay than women for doing the same job.

I hate this website sometimes...

If your point was to prove that you do not have a point, then well done. You succeeded in that endeavour.

Women make different choices. One common such choice is to work part time. A part time worker is, in general, less suitable for promotion to more responsibility. These are facts.

When you're faced with a claim that seems so obviously stupid as the claim that employers everywhere are getting female labour at a 20% discount, you should question it.

In other words, it's pretty much accepted by everyone there is a gender pay gap.

These choices aren't made in a vacuum though; more women work part time to look after children etc. because society tells them that's their role.

On the other hand, if you decide to slow down your career to look after children etc, ultimately that is up to you, nothing much to do with anyone else, and certainly not a cause for anyone else's concern.

Nobody's choices are made in a vacuum. That doesn't make them invalid; if it did, you'd have to deny the validity of everyone's choices all the time. I am also not convinced that these choices are influenced purely by society, rather than in some part by biology.

In either case, what most people say they want is a society in which everyone has the full range of opportunities available to them and can choose between them as they wish. I'm not particularly clear on what the rationale would be to go beyond this and try to change people's choices, or to change the framework within which they make their choices. All I can gather is that, ultimately, in this context, you have a higher proportion of women in certain jobs, e.g. in science. So what? Can you explain why this in itself should be anyone's objective?

For what it's worth my own view is that this, like much of the left's thinking at the moment, shows far too great a level of preoccupation with vague concepts of the collective wellbeing of groups and identities, and not nearly enough concern for the individuals who make up those groups and identities. If the individuals who make up the class of women aren't being denied access to opportunities, and are living as they wish to, I, and I would venture most of the population along with me, don't really see it as a problem that more individuals within that group are making a given choice than those within another group (i.e. men).

This applies whatever cultural norms form the background to women's career choices because the truth is, these days, you can perfectly well ignore them, if you want. As of right now, this is commonplace. Women who have decided to dedicate themselves entirely to their careers abound, and have as fair a crack at making it to the top of their chosen field as any given man -- given all the pressure at the moment for companies to show that they have women in senior positions, perhaps fairer. On the other hand, if you decide to slow down your career to look after children etc, ultimately that is up to you, nothing much to do with anyone else, and certainly not a cause for anyone else's concern.
