When I went to Iceland I learned that female slaves were only worth 80% the value of male slaves (the good old Viking republic).
Today, wages (the modern way of valuing workers) are still around 80% of that of men for women. It's weird that 1000 years ago and today the relative financial value of women to men was the same. | ||

Let me turn it around: men like you will never recognize the very real challenges women face because you personally don't face them and you lack the empathy to sympathize with the women who do. I'm pretty sure you would care though if you got paid less for reasons that had nothing to do with the quality of your work.

I work at a software company, and I'm actually pretty happy with my position here. For that reason alone, I'm not that interested at the moment in starting my own business. If I did, I probably would hire a lot of women and their gender wouldn't be a factor in their wage, their work would be. I probably would do pretty well. We also have no women in technical positions at my company. Isn't that weird? Quote:

That's just my personal experience, might not be indicative of the whole. Even if my assertions are totally baseless, it's ridiculous to say that women don't have the aptitude to be as good at programming as men, and the numbers, both in the wage gap and just sheer employee numbers is staggering in tech.

Evacuating troll thread. Why y'all hate women?

Loramin, only someone who went to college could come up with ideas as stupid as "people don't like to be paid more money" and "good people are not important to the success of a startup"
