I totally agree...except for the "paid more" part. The whole 70-cents-to-the-dollar thing is probably one of the most widely spread bogus statistics...when you look at men and women working in the same field with the same level of education and experience, the difference in pay essentially disappears ( ... )

Yeah, no arguments here. Don't know what to do about it though...those same elementary school teachers who were encouraged to go into the arts/education are the ones in a position to make the change for the younger generation, but are also less likely to :-/

Don't forget periods, having babies, and the hormone and weight fluctuations that go with them! NOT FUN AND GAMES.

I work for a company that is run by 6 women....5 of which are gay. The world does know balance.

I agree that men have it easier, though I've never gotten any of the benefits since I'm a sexual minority or whatever. But I don't agree that "women pursue men in this generation." Women are still the gatekeepers of sex and probably always will be.
