Why do women complain that they are not being paid enough?

that damn gloria allred. here's the kicker, they abuse sexual harrasment laws. \n\nmen are at times stupid, but women prove they can be just as if not more at times.  they suffer from the "why me?" syndrome that most minorities also suffer from. THe "wa, wa, wa.. Pay ME or i'll sue" syndrome

My husband is no longer in the military, but heck yes they are underpaid.  They make up about 85% of the people who go to those pay-day loan places, pawnshops, etc.. if they were getting paid more, they wouldn't have to borrow extra $$ just to make it till their next check!!

You're so right about other people being paid to take care of your kids, but not you.\n\nWhat's happened is that the work that was traditionally done by women has continued to be undervalued.  That doesn't mean that feminism has failed or is to be blamed, it just means that more progress needs to be made.  Men and women both need to have choices about how to spend their time and how to care for their families, and those choices need to be recognized as having equal worth.  \n\nMany European countries offer a stipend to families just for having children--it's not an income dependent welfare program, it's just some help out.  I believe that caregivers should also be given credit in the Social Security system, because many women have nothing for retirement if they have spent any time caring for children or other family members.  Maternity and family leave should be paid and extend beyond six weeks.  \n\nBut somebody would have to pay for all these programs.  So don't blame feminists, blame the folks who won't pay taxes, who don't believe in government programs, or who won't pay decent prices for goods so that employers can pay a living wage to their employees.

When you give something, people will get greedy and ask for more. Look whats happening in Europe right now. Not only do they have paid leave, but their working hours are shorter, and they work less days per week. But see the effects? Their economy is in all sorts of trouble right now. Low growth rate, high unemployment etc. There's always two side to a story. So hope this will make you feel happier that you still have a job thats paying you a decent amount of money to begin with. :)

Because women generally aren't willing to pay for sex.

only if they complain about their wages

I dont. I think when women make that statement, they need to really think about it first.\nWhen I think about equality, its more about fairness. If Im doing a mans job, which I am, I should be paid equally. I work my as* off picking up 60-80 lb cases and I certainly dont wait for my male coworkers to come and help. If I took the job, I should be able to do it. \n I also believe that if I ask a man out for a drink then I should be the one paying and not get pissed off when he doesnt automatically open his wallet.

Yes, it is frustrating.  Happens all the time though.  Seinfeld even had an episode about it!  It seems that the more incompetent you are, the higher you move up!  It's frustrating for me to have a supervisor, who makes three times more than I do, ask me advice on what they should do - that's what they get paid the big bucks for!  Oh brother!!!

Gender bias is a double edged sword.  Women want to be treated equally on their own terms, which creates a bias against men;  They want equal pay but expect a man to lift that heavy box in the office...\n\nThere's a reason that on average women live 7 years longer than men.

ok...see the reason is that i'm sure that most of the girls you date are not used to having lots of money to spend.  it's not that girls don't like to be pampered, we just don't want to seem like gold diggers.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Not every american woman is a gold-digger. Some are INDEPENDENT like me... I have a job, make my own money, have my own transportation and all. I cook and clean and go to school too. And I really can survive without a man. Men just dish out there money own worthless stuff. That could be spunt on more important things. Instead of buying rims for your car put the money aside for the light bill. Some men are like that too... Women get tired of lazy men.

Equal wages for equal work is very much the law.  The reason, though, that you see  disparity between men and women for similar highly-paid positions, or positions of authority, is because many women stop out to become mothers.  This is factored into the averages that you see published to "prove" inequality. \n\nCaring for infants and children necessarily prevents women from being available to work the long hours required to achieve the highest positions.  As Neal Boortz says, "Successful people drive home in the dark".  \n\nSo.  Is this discrimination...?  I don't think so; even a child knows you can't have your cake and eat it, too.  Women must grow up and realize that you can't have it all; you have to choose.

Because they're women. We need them more than they need us. It's a seller's market.

because most of them are gold diggers. solution: date older girls and dont tell em how much u make. older girls are more down to earth, girls in their early-mid 20s mostly are a bunch of gold diggers look for a hand out. I dont think its wrong to look for a girl with a good job, in fact you should, maybe even in the same field, then there is a less chance she wants to be with you for your money. the bar comes up in a year for me and if i dont find anyone before that, id only date other lawyers, dr's, and other professional women
