Are women poorer than poor people though?

Even now, women earn 59p for every £1 a man earns. 

 

They also still take the most responsibility for child rearing and everyday household tasks, as well as working full time. Men 'help' but it's still seen as the woman's job. 

 

So yes, women are still disadvantaged at the side of men.

There are 3 PPC options to choose from:

1. The 3-month PPC costs £31.25 and will save you money if you need more than 3 prescribed items in 3 months.
2. The 12-month PPC costs £111.60 and will save you money if you need more than 11 prescribed items in a year.
3. The hormone replacement therapy (HRT) PPC costs £19.30 and will save you money if you need more than 2 prescribed HRT items in a year.

 

If you are poor, but but on benefits, you can pay £111.60 to get free prescriptions, but if you are female, rich or poor, it will cost you £19.30 for free HRT.

 

How can it be free if it costs you £19.30  ?

But its not the mans baby, only women can have babies.

 

Do you think it should be an equal task, I thought you were a lady with old fashioned values?

Am I old fashioned to think that the mother should look after the baby?

Isn't that because women are more likely to take lower paid jobs?

 

If a woman had exactly the same job as a man would she be paid less by the company they work for?

 

If women get paid less then why don't folk just employ women?

 

Do you think it's fair that male tennis players work much  longer hours in the big tournaments and get paid the same as women?

The general perception is that child rearing and house hold tasks are still 'women's work' and yes I know there are exceptions, of which you are one Daddy, and I respect that. 

 

And yes Mr Bundy, women often take lower paid jobs, but that's because any well paid career will be interrupted by (unpaid) child rearing and probably pregnancy gaps too, so are harder for women to get.  because employers know it.

Jobs on the other hand are less well paid, and it often falls to the lower paid person in the family to take time out for these responsibilities, and as that's often the woman, it's a circular argument.  

 

You can have all the legislation in the world, but on the ground it still happens. Yes its changed a lot, but statistics show it's still prevalent even today.

So that explains the pay gap.

 

Thanks for confirming that.  I wouldn't want folk thinking that women get paid less for doing the same job as men, as many agitators would want you to believe.

 

Any thoughts on male tennis players getting less per hour than women or are we going to ignore that?

I have been a single parent, but it much more common for the person that had the baby, to care for it.

They develop a close bond, especially during breast feeding. Anyone that takes between six months and five years out of the workplace is likely to be less skilled in that role.
