Actually its a randomized controlled experiment comparing reactions toward two identical human beings – identical in intelligence, competence, lifestyle, goals, etc. with the one difference between them that one is a man and one is a woman. Results found that the "female" applicants were rated significantly lower than…

Catwomyn covered pretty much everything I wanted to say. I will add, there have also been studies that showed employers tend to prefer hiring men over women even if they have the exact same credentials and they also offer male candidates higher pay. So yes sexism!

Actually sexism is exactly what it is. Other factors that contribute to the wage gap are women being pushed to certain fields from a young age, women leaving certain careers due to harassment, women having to manage their home life and work life more than men and women getting a greater burden of child care. All these…

Yes you sound like a jerk. I think display of religion in the public sphere does more harm than good and would love it if people didn't wear any type accessory (necklace, hat, scarf, bracelet, tattoo ect.) in public that represents their religion but I also believe in freedom. Unless people voluntarily decide to do…

Did you purposely miss the point? I answered the question you asked. Yes ads featuring men will yield similar profits and I gave the reason for why such ads don't exist though. Also the question about, why does such a specific body type make people buy that product is because what is considered beautiful is decided by…

I think an ad featuring men in the same way women are will yield similar profit. It will also lead to men feeling more insecure about their appearance which will open more opportunities for products to be marketed towards them to fix problems that don't exist.

Yeah the nerdy girl is pretty and the hot guy isn't that much hotter than her. Also the guy at the beach should've been wearing a speedo (totally not saying this for my own viewing pleasure)

About two third of private insurance cover elective abortion. However now an increasing number of states are placing restrictions on what private insurance companies can and cannot do. According to the Guttmacher Institute, the varying restrictions on abortion coverage have created a confusing environment, and many…

A lot of other activities release the same endorphins

That is exactly what's happening when Mindy Kaling keeps getting diversity complains directed towards her

There's a difference in asking for more diversity in general and singling out some people and demanding more diversity from them. It's not fair to single people out and target them when they're not doing any worse than many other shows.

Couple of my friends who were psyche majors were taught a lot of pseudo science BS. It was so annoying hearing the stuff their professors taught them in class and how they actually took some evo-psych stuff as real science.

I really think the point is to create non-existing flaws and problems with our body so we feel insecure and buy more of their products in hope to look like the unrealistic form of beauty they're trying to sell.

I had very heavy irregular periods too and thats why I got on birth control(that's also the only way I could have because of my very conservative parents). However I was already sexually active and didn't get on birth control until I was a junior in college. Contrary to the GOP believe I was less sexually active after…

I don't think anyone anywhere is encouraging teens to have sex. The conservative argument is, abstinence only and emotional based sex education is the right way and they feel that the liberal approach of facts based sex education and providing access to birth control and STD testing encourages risky sex.

I've known several of these guys and you're absolutely right: bullet dodged. I have zero problem with casual sex or the people who have it. Shit, I've had plenty. It's the attitude of trickery and conquest so many of these dudes display. If you want casual one-off sex, there are plenty of women who are down for that.…

Exactly. For a lot of guys there is this huge gulf between how they treat a hook- up and how they treat someone they are dating. It's unnecessary. Just treat everyone with tact and respect. I won't think we're getting married because you treat me with consideration. I know this is primarily about sex, it's all good!…

I don't think thats true. I've had couple guy friends tell me about some girl they hooked up with and how she always hits them up randomly now and it's annoying. I have also noticed that people are always more willing if the person who initiated the booty call text is willing to meet up with them or come to their…

1. Dealing with pregnancies does not mean biology on my side. Option of either having to carry the pregnancy to term or terminate it sucks! I'll trade you any day! Having to worry about getting pregnant, taking birth control that screw with my hormones and if it doesn't work, paying for $500 to terminate it isn't…
