I'd wager that it has to do with women placing a high value on relationships whereas men place a higher value on performance. I think guys are more likely to sacrifice relationhsips and social connections for the 'brass ring' whereas most women wouldn't find that social cost acceptible. I'm not saying there aren't any type A women out there but I think if you look at type A people in general who live eat and sleep their work, more of them tend to be men.

Those who work harder or politic more effectively are going to make more money. I think more of it has to do with personality and how someone operates instead of sex. It just so happens that male gender values are more likely to result in higher pay in a business environment.

I'd like to see how this stacks up in an envirnment which exhibits traditionally female gender roles, like nursing, if there is a revers pay disparity with women making more than men.

domestic violence is still an issue/problem in todays society. i dont understand what you are getting at.

...kytnism...

Well I thought I explained myself pretty well but ok I'll try again....

You say we need to go back to traditional roles as we are confused as to who gets to do what etc right? Well, in those "traditional roles" men OWNED their women therefore had the right to control them with their fists because women were the weaker sex yeah?

yes DV is still at an all time high. In fact 60% of police calls are for DV. Men do not have the right to hit women but they still do. So that's an example of a traditional role still being played and only hurting women. So how are traditional roles such as this going to benefit society?

I don't know about any links. I don't know why that's the only info you internet people want to see if what i'm saying is true or not but when i was in the vagina monolouges we learnt lot's of facts about DV and that was one of them straight from the police station i think.... DV is still very high today. So much for lovely traditional gender roles working for a better society.

I think it's truly upsetting that those academics that are involved in women's studies fail to "Darwinize". I think that biological differences between the sexes are important to recognize when entering into this debate. The bottom line is, women are not hardwired to work as hard as men and get away with it, without exhibiting negitive emotional and physical symptoms. Human beings were complex hunter gatherers only 10,000 years ago and considering it's been around 6-8 million years since the first hominids started appearing, thats really not that long. In the space of 10,000 years we have undergone generations of cultural upheaval at a very fast rate. The thing is, biology fails to change at the same pace as cultural evolution. Human behavioral ecologists use the concept of EEA (Environment of Evolutionary Adaption) to analyse human behavior and I think this lens is a very interesting way of looking at things. The bottom line is, female biology is still hardwired for childrearing and sedentism, whereas men are hardwired for more physical exhertion. Of course there are exceptions to this rule but inter-culturally there are sets of universals that ring true. This is why women working busy jobs with long hours have higher levels of stress and depression and this is one of the reasons why cases of such things have become more common in recent decades. Im not suggesting we revert back to the hunter gatherer division of labour but I think it's important for people to realise that we are just complex bipedal primates with biological limits that must be understood and worked with. Social sciences fails to take into account evolutionary biology when dealing with issues pertaining to feminism, pushing many women to be on par with men and at times out compete them, without understanding the inherent biology of the female body.

^^ Excellent, excellent post endlesseulogy. Thank you for sharing that I was going to post something similiar but I don't think I could have said it as well as you.

Hope to see more posts from you.
