In the interests of balance ...… anyone thought of doing a thread on 'what does it mean to be a woman'?
Would it be anywhere as long as this? Perhaps we don't sit around thinking too much about our roles as women, we just get on with it.
Yes I do believe it can be tough being a woman - just imagine having to give birth ouch! or having periods every month or being paid less for doing the same job as a man and then having to fight off men who come on to you in the work place ... Yes it must be hard to be a woman in this world of men.
Giving birth and periods I’ll give you but the pay gap thing for the same job is a total myth. It’s been illegal in this country for many years for any company to pay a women less than a man. If anyone ever has this take the company to court and retire rich.
Any perceived difference in earnings is down to life choices like giving birth and taking time out of professional life or choosing different career paths. There’s absolutely nothing stopping any women earning whatever she aims for.
