i totally agree with every wise word was said by every member of your honorable presence
Woman in not only half of the community,she is the whole community,which doesnt and will never part;genuinely,she is my mother,my friend,my daughter,my niece and my wife,she is the resort for endurability,tranquility and tolerance
“if it were not for women..we wouldn’t be here”
obama,you’re blessed to have “mishmish” as your wife.

Ok to the rtard …
Ok to the rtard bout the 40% figure who cares that may be correct BUT males will always dominate the higher positions across the professions. This is due to men have the higher proportions of very high IQs , 130+ its a 2 to 1 ratio, thatz a fact, however women are smarter on average, because men also have a higher percentages of retards, which makes sense. Its no coincidence that the geniuses in history have been mostly men, even after neglecting the educational/institutional situation.

By ‘men’ jobs he …
By ‘men’ jobs he obvious means more physically strenuous and male orientated jobs such as construction for example which is being hit hard. And plz don’t reply to this saying they are no longer male driven disciplines they are so stop the bs, ill lose respect for your argument if u do

I completely agree. We Americans need to start building, inventing, and solving our needs, and doing it in a positive way is strictly the best thing for us.

I was shocked to read in a magazine what Michelle Obama had done for her family while Barack Obama was senator for Illinois. There were moments of trouble but they pulled it off. Truly an inspirational story those two have.

Personally, I stopped watching tv when I noticed how criminal it was on its portray of both sexes. I don’t think sexism is just a womans’ thing… just turn to Spike TV. That channel has an awful view of men. Portraying them as just horny, drunk, lazy idiots. Not all are.

I don’t know where you got that fact from, but all I see are guys in those fields (science, technical, engineering and mathematics).

That statement sounds like those areas should only be for men. Wow. I can tell you that I can see now because of a female surgeon.

Health of males on a decline? I think the health of EVERYONE is on the decline. Also men are more likely to be attended before women when it comes to heart disease. Men are still viewed more valuable than women.

You should speak to …
You should speak to some of the nurses I’ve spoken with, who lost their jobs. Recession isn’t bias… it hurts EVERYONE!!! So yes you’re right in that women aren’t the only ones, but to say that only “men” jobs (whatever that means) are the only ones being affected by this is just as ignorant as to what these politicians are saying.

As for the hating woman society, it’s more complicated than you think. Lots of factors play into this. It’s not as clear cut as you, as many others, make it to be.

Really? I did mines …
Really? I did mines and all I got was 249 :/ I paid nearly $2,000 for tuition, over $300 in books, over $152 in supplies needed for school. All this from my own pocket and all I got back was a merely $259. Some tax refund that was. >_>

Where did you get …
Where did you get your 40% fact from? I don’t believe reaching out to women is the same as saying men are not welcomed here. It just says women can also apply and shouldn’t fear being in a male dominated field.

we tried to tell the world that Obama was unqualified for this position….he never had any executive experience….never ran so much as a hot dog stand….this is what you get with affirmative action….LOL

This was exciting. I went and got my tax refund filed, and I was shocked that when i found out that Obama and the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE will let any student who paid their tuition during school or buying books and all that would get most of that money back on their tax refund. It gave me and extra 700 bucks. Its a lot i could do with that.

Studies have shown …
Studies have shown that this is because of cultural problems in our society, not because of programs that encourage women to apply.

Apparently a lot of men don’t seek higher education either because of religious hostility to science or because it’s not seen as “manly” enough. This is a pity, and more importantly it’s a problem.

Empowering women is great, but at some point anti-intellectualism in general needs to be addressed.

@joshwuh88 You Say: …
@joshwuh88 You Say: “When’s International Men’s Day?”

Male suffering only matters in proportion to how it affects the suffering or wellbeing of women. I’m sorry to inform you that there are no Offices for Men’s Health but women now have 7.

There are no efforts to help boys succeed what so ever. Women hold 54% of the vote and more so since male voter participation is in decline..

Women typically vote to provide and protect themselves as was also seen by the diversion of the Stimulus.

Of primary concern …
Of primary concern is the Council on Women and Girls announcement to extend “women first” policies to all science, technical, engineering and mathematics college admissions.

These areas of study are some of the last places males still preside in our colleges.

Males only obtain 40% of college degrees.

If you look at the health of men and boys it is on a steep decline.

voter participation
workforce participation
suicide
college attendance

@joshwuh88 The idea …
@joshwuh88 The idea is to create a division and competition between men and women.

If you look at the pay gap it has nothing to do with the same job but is measured as a whole of what men and women produce in the entire workforce. There are many reasons for this…choice of occupation, hours worked, time out of the workforce etc.etc.etc

The idea is to make women angry and garner their political support…It’s just politics..
