I need to write an auto bot to write this carp for me!

[dday9]

You get it, carp?

[dday9]

Like the fish that's crap.

Until level 15 then it learned tackle.

And then at level 20 it evolved into the OP Garados!

I did think the age discrimination laws Labour bought in a couple of terms ago were starting to push at the edge of reason (age is actually a pretty important consideration for an employer lookng for a long term member of staff who you're going to invest in training for) but they did still fall within the bounds of reason. I'm more bothered by Labours total aversion to education being based on competence. I actually think the old system of Grammars and Secondary Moderns had alot of merit but two major flaws: it was too difficult to move between the streams so the 11+ could damn you for life for one bad day and successive governments tended to throw money at the grammers at the expense of the Secondary Moderns. Streaming kids based on ability just seems like common sense to me if you want to get the best out of all of them.

I recognize the language....and I can see that it is divided into nice sentences....but I understand not a word of it.

[dday9]

I had difficulties understanding that as well, but it could be my complete lack of knowledge on the topic.

[FunkyDexter]

At the risk of upsetting DD by reintroducing politics back into post race I'll explain. Through the 60s the UK used to run two kinds of schools, Grammars and Secondary Moderns. The idea was that academically gifted kids would go to Grammars while less gifted kids would go to Secondary Moderns. Which you went to was decided by a test you sat at age 11 called the 11+. The idea was that Grammar schools kids would be pushed harder and progress at a faster rate while SM kids would still be pushed but not so hard that they'd be left behind. It was an attempt to progress each kid as fast as they could handle. Sadly the reality tended to be that the Secondary Moderns were underfunded and just became dumping grounds.

In the 70s (I think) the labour party largely abolished both (there are a few exceptions still floating around) and replace them with comprehensives where all kids would attend the same classes regardless of ability. I personally think this was just throwing the baby out with the bath water and means that in a given class you're either going to have gifted kids being held back or weaker kids just being left behind. Actually, you probably get both as the class gets pitched at the centre of the bell curve.

I personally think that streaming by ability is pretty much a no brainer, as long as you're not under funding those at the back and you allow kids to move up and down streams as appropriate. Probably separating them into different schools was a bit daft but, in the UK, they're not even separated into different classes.

Anyway, politics over...

Lol trust Niya,

this is about the least feminist (virtual or other) place i have ever frequented!!

lol....this place panders to feminism like nearly all mainstream sites. If you want sites that haven't been touched by feminism try 4chan.org or the red pill reddit.

Anyways, the reason I ask is that the topic being discussed, the wage gender gap issue is actually feminist trolling. In other words, its not a real topic, just mental masturbation by hardcore feminists that somehow managed to get taken seriously by the mainstream.

[Shaggy Hiker]

No, not really. The gender gap is a real thing with multiple causes. It is going away, bit by bit, but it still exists. It also starts very early on and persists. As women increasingly outnumber men in higher education, it seems likely to reverse. There will always be a difference, though, and that's a good thing.

[Niya]

No, not really. The gender gap is a real thing with multiple causes.

I've never ever seen this occur in real life. To me, its a myth that was the product of careful wordplay and deliberate misinterpretation of statistical data. I don't know anyone who would actually say to themselves or anyone that they would pay someone less for the same job simply because they are a woman. This flies in the face of basic common sense and feminism is devoid of common sense.

Imagine a world without children... Future generations will thank us!

[Shaggy Hiker]

I have seen it happen, to a small extent. This was a bigger issue a few decades back, which is before I entered the labor force. It was certainly an issue for an earlier generation.

[Shaggy Hiker]

They will be applauding us!

Finally, we will know the sound of one hand clapping.

You've seen employers deliberately pay less because the employee is a woman ? What was the employer's reasoning ?

Because she's a woman. Duh...

Yeh i was tempted to reply to a few posts BUT this is post race and i feel i have sullied it enough already!!!

This flies in the face of basic common sense

In my experience Humans are really excellent at flying in the face of common sense

In fact i would go as far as to say we do few things better.

The thumb is my favorite smiley.

[dday9]

Any time I rep anyone I just type it in the comment.

[dday9]

It's like, "Good Job Mate" only in a Australian accent.

[dday9]

I like to pretend that everyone on VBForums has an Australian accent except for JMcIlhinney.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Because she's a woman. Duh...

That's exactly right. It wasn't more complex than that.

This flies in the face of basic common sense

I hate having flies in my face, and I'm sure common sense does too. However, I know this because flies like eyes. Common sense doesn't have any "I"s, but I'm sure that flies are still attracted to its face because they like to annoy common sense as much as they like to annoy me. Heck, most of them don't even land, they just fly back and forth trying to stick their tongues out at me...but they can't because they are flies and don't have tongues. It's really frustrating for all involved.
