I think the opposite is the case - think of female escorts vs male escorts for example.
Women can charge extortionate rates, whereas men will often work for peanuts if not for free.... -
I never thought of them by sex, normally by model: RS1600, RS1800, Mexico, RS200, Harrier...Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostI think the opposite is the case - think of female escorts vs male escorts for example.

Who is in charge of the HR department ? a woman
Who sets the pay levels > HR
Who knows women better than men ? women

They're doing it deliberately to force men to buy them handbags, flowers and chocolates because we think they can't afford to buy them for themselves. Scheming and devious and unfortunately the only alternatives are to use your right hand or turn gay, so they'll get away with it for as long as the human race survives.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostWho is in charge of the HR department ? a woman

that is actually a really good point - we end up spending all our money on women anyway! So us guys are actually earning our money only to hand it over to them anyway.... They get paid the money they earn + the money/gifts/spending on them.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThey're doing it deliberately to force men to buy them handbags, flowers and chocolates because we think they can't afford to buy them for themselves.

ipso facto, ad verbarum, legalarium, women are paying themselves less so they can blame men for it
