Cyclone Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 There are plenty of comparisons of pay differences where jobs are either the same or of a similar level. The example of SCC having to pay out a large amount in compensation was already given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andbreathe Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have no doubt that some women get paid more than some man doing an equal job and I have no doubt that some men get paid more than some women doing an equal job. Nice play on words, so both equal both out..there's no such thing as inequality is what you are saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 No it isn't, and no their not. Any idiot who thinks men hating and genuine female issues regarding gender equality are the same or are perceived as the same are likely to be woman haters or threatened by woman, and use similarity as an excuse. The poster you're replying to has form for this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty27 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Who do you think suffers most from sexual harrassment and violence? Men or women? Men but they are significantly less likely to report it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Men but they are significantly less likely to report it. You're claiming men suffer more sexual harrassment and violence than women? Really? Who do you claim is perpetrating this violence and harrassment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Men but they are significantly less likely to report it. Oh my lord. My summary in another seems appropriate to put here too: About had enough of this forum. I have had some great arguments with very different posters on here over the years and while we often disagree, occasionally quite spectacularly, we've always managed to at least hold a debate and learn something. This new wave of posters just post drivel with no background, no attempt to explain their position and when asked to do so immediately get aggressive and defensive. Most people on here want to learn about other peoples opinions and want to learn off people with experience in other areas, most people are not just having a go at others and will listen to you if you give them reason to do so.

In focusing attention on the consequences women face from male-perpetrated violence, have we missed a bigger issue, that the majority of victims of violence are men?

sgtkate Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) In focusing attention on the consequences women face from male-perpetrated violence, have we missed a bigger issue, that the majority of victims of violence are men? More married men suffer abuse from their spouse than married women More Men than Women Victims of Partner Abuse More than 40% of domestic violence victims are male, report reveals Men Are Harassed More Than Women Online US National Survey: more men than women victims of intimate partner violence Thank you for the links. I shall take a look at them, in particular the Guardian one as I respect their generally good journalism. Sexism is more than just harassment though, but I do feel that men are often overlooked terribly by both the media, charities and the general public when suffering abuse. However, I do feel that often men themselves are to blame by creating a culture that if a man is being beaten up by his wife then he's a failure or pathetic, when that couldn't be further from the truth in most cases. Any man who resists resorting to physical violence on a woman when she's attacking him deserves considerable respect.
