re: More American women are single than ever before—and it’s costing them big money

You talked about disparity in pay between men and women. You have been called out several times.

Did you read the OP? Obviously not but that’s the claim in the OP. So, I discussed the OP.

quote:

I asked if you had experienced it, firsthand, and how would you even know if someone was paid more than you. You decided to ignore those questions.

---

The author who made that claim cited their evidence in the article. You should consider reading the OP before commenting in a thread.

Would you like to be "overrepresented" in a thalidomide study?

A study could have prevented so much grief and tragedy.

Women CEO's destroyed Yahoo, HP, IBM, etc when in charge. Had to hire Men to clean up the mess they created.

Women CEOs saved GM, CVS, Advanced Micro Devices, etc.

Women are people. People succeed and fail. Men are also people. They, too, succeed and fail. This isn’t some battle of the sexes.

While that’s troubling, the Fed’s data includes both women who have never married, as well as those who divorced and may have commingled assets at some point. The St. Louis Fed’s research finds that single women who never married have a lower net worth of about $0.71 cents per one dollar compared to the median never-married man’s wealth, or a wealth penalty of about 29%. The picture gets even more bleak for single women with children.

lol @ "wealth penalty"

Mary Barra is an effing imbecile.

True story:
During a CNBC interview in Detroit, Barra was promoting GM's fabulous "green" electric car strategy with a goal of selling only EVs by 2035. The reporter (knowing Detroit uses coal-fired plants to produce electricity) rhetorically asked her where the electricity came from. She pointed to a frigging electrical outlet! He said "no, I meant what is the source of electricity?" She looked at him quizzically, then pointed out the window and said "Well ... there's wires ... it gets .... it comes, you know, through wires."

So while her goal of selling only EVs by 2035 now is visible as utter idiocy, one truth remains. Electricity still comes through wires, by golly.

Women make more money in plenty of things.

Modeling
Pornography
Bartending
Stripping
Sales, especially pharma

This doesn't even begin to touch the growing number of fields that are almost exclusively hiring women. Education, Healthcare, and business that engages in DEI.

Can’t say whether they’re paid differently than men, but I can say that just about every promotion I’ve seen in my company has women moving up into the GM level by a factor of 3-1 than men. In fact the business unit I work in, the president and the GMs are all women.

I work for a major.

Can you tell you me what your complaint is?

The claim that Maternal Care in Canada, the EU, the UK, or Australia is better than the US, much less 2-3 times better is complete total bullshite. That is not a "complaint." It is a simple fact.

As with Covid, where the US government counted a man shot in the head with a coincident Covid+ test as a "Covid death" resulting in a far worse CV19 outcome profile for the US, they are doing the same here. They do the same in virtually every such comparison with other healthcare systems. Infant mortality stats are another example.

The game afoot is to socialize American medicine. Socialization would not be done for the good of the populace. Rather it would be done to limit the cost of caring for the populace. Even at the expense of far worse care, outcome, and inconvenience.

Obviously no one would electively choose worse care, outcome, and inconvenience. Nor would anyone elect to substitute any EU healthcare system for our own, if they knew what that substitution actually involved. So the only way to get there is to falsely convince folks the grass is greener in the other yard (which is actually asphalt, spray painted green).

Additionally, the socialized, government-owned medical systems are HIGHLY politically invested in exaggerating the quality of their care. So every one of these US vs the world healthcare comparators is loaded with apples and oranges juxtapositions.

quote:

---

And you’re claiming every other western country calculates maternal mortality the way you want the US to calculate it

---

I could not care less how it is calculated, as long as the calculations are identical apples-to-apples comparisons.

Probably not in the obesity or mental ones. Or pregnancy, uterine deformities/malignancies, breast cancer (even though men can get it too).

Why do you want to MAKE EXCUSES for women? We made it. Did you not realize that?

We have so much equal opportunity we can stomp all over men, ruin a male college kid's life with rape allegations! Hooray for feminism!

Guess what, my vows included obedience to my husband, because the Bible teaches women, no matter how successful, that we are to submit. We are born of a nature, and society is trying to wipe the blackboard clean. Sorry, it's permanant and indelible.

Can you give a class to women so they can try to understand what you are saying? This is spot on. Your husband is a very lucky man for real.
