Here is what piss me off:

If we have to believe feminists there is lots of hidden sexism against women in science.

However, it might be much easier to look at signs of sexism that aren't hidden:

Prizes in science that exclude males.
Giving priority to females in science.
Lots of talk of equality in the mainstream, but each time we learn that some animals are more equals than others.
People like Lawrence summers who are being fired for trying to bring any scientific debate using data instead of angry denial regarding to the issue of sex and science.

I suppose physicists will have to face anti-male bashing all their lives because this is a field where a 50/50 ratio isn't possible without a great cost of efficiency.  So they will have to apologize over and over again for not being able to reach some quotas that would satisfy the narrow-minded resentment of some angry feminists, who write a lot about women and science, but who as women don't write about science!

That's all,  I guess I just need to vent.  Everywhere I go, I see prizes, money, scholarships reserved for women.

What happened to meritocracy? Are all universities into denial? Will I have to put my head in the sand too to avoid the angry mob? The cost of being an iconoclast is great.

Go forth ... And achieve.

Make it the most important thing to you.

Only thing between you and the pinnacle of success is air and opportunity.

If you can't hack it, chicky-poo, I suggest you look in the mirror to find someone to blame.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am the MEANEST son-of-a-bitch in the valley.

Wow!
I bow before greatness.
I usd to think I could write really long epics that said nothing, I pale in the
face of masters there.

Quite a motley crew there. I was amazed by the inability to express concepts
without re-inventing the wheel at every turn. Square wheels at that.

How the heck did you happen upon such a site TP?
Did you enter into the fray?
(my eyes were glazing over after a bit)
I beg "special consideration" for exemption to make it a required entry on my bookmarks file. ;-)
*sheesh*

Here's what pisses ME off. (yesterday anyway)

I think that kinda' pales relative to
this
Quote
Women care workers behind curve in wages

Quote
Female direct care workers, which include personal care assistants, home care aides, home health aides and certified nursing assistants, earn an average $9.26 per hour, far below the national average of $13.46 for all female workers, according to the report from UNH's Carsey Institute.

There are a number of reasons why wages in the direct care and childcare fields are low, particularly education, but it's unclear why they have remained so low despite exploding demand. UNH researchers say that unless the wage disparity corrects itself the government may have to step in, precisely how remains to be seen though.


You see, according to the report from UNH's Carsey Institute, women in the VASTLY female and overcrowded industry are thinking the gum'mint MUST step in
because they make less per hour than WOMEN in ENTIRELY DIFFERENT JOBS.

By the way, how many of these poor girls checks come from State and Federal
socialist welfare programs because they suck so bad at their "careers" they can't gain employment in the private sector?  Hmmmm......

CaptDMO,

The blog from the feminist is part of a network called ScienceBlogs.
I sometimes check the other blogs.  (So that's how I came into contact with this hate site).

About the economic issue:

I agree completely.

I decided to look at arguments for and against minimum wages, and also some data. Wikipedia helped me:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage#Debate_over_consequences_of_minimum_wage_laws

Look at the graphs.

It turns out that classical economic theory is correct on this particular item.

Asking the government to control the wages (and increase them) would have similar consequences to setting a higher minimum wage.

I am all for 50/50 quota. Just do not keep them in the same institutions and companies. I am all for

   150 female construction companies    / 150 male construction companies,
       2 female pysics research institutes / 3 male physics research institutes
       4 female firestation                       / 4 male firestation
      45 female police stations                / 45 male police stations
      12 female infantery divisions         / 12 male infantery divisions
       2 female airlines                           / 2 male airlines

...

it would be fun to watch.
