Why Men Earn More Than Women

"For decades, we in the media have reported that women earn less than men. As a result, we've created a generation of angry women and self-conscious men.

This is more the sort of response I was hoping to see.  

For decades, we in the media have reported that women earn less than men. As a result, we've created a generation of angry women and self-conscious men.

A new book, "Why Men Earn More," by Dr. Warren Farrell, shows we've been dead wrong: For the same work, women earn more than men. His findings are based on a comprehensive review of government and other statistics.[emphasis by Evil]

Glad to see it is coming up.  Very telling that most media are ignoring it or soft soaping it like the new york times article.  Nemko admits his culpability, and focuses on the redundant error of the media for years and years.  Good man.

In reflecting on Farrell's book, I wonder if, rather than denigrating men for earning more, we should respect them for their willingness to do unpleasant, but necessary, work that few women will do such as roofing, coal mining or guarding a prison -- often working themselves into an early grave. There are four widows for every widower.

Scarbo's response to this: WELL, DUH!!!! Where the f*&k you been, Marty?

And men, you might learn a lesson from women and consider trading money for quality of life.

Already have, Marty. I get to work on Monday (after not working the whole weekend) and I can see people who have both read e-mail and posted e-mail messages over the weekend. I feel sorry for them. Not gonna be me doing that.
