We agree to disagree-I certainly see no weakness in your negotiating here. But, ironically, your argument that women are less good at negotiating is one concept and is not any proof of discrimination which is a second explanation. Both could be true, false or one or the other could be true/false. That is basic logic .…

Executive contracts are negotiated. Are you saying women are bad negotiators? Really, I apologize for citing positive things about women.

So in standardized ,unionized jobs everyone gets the same. In non-unionized ,non-standardized jobs women often ask for and get accommadations so they do not work the same hours, use childcare services or get other type of compensation. For employers, compensation is a total package issue and involves all one gets-not…

What key points are left out? Women are far outstripping men today in educational acheivement which will inevitably lead to women dominating the Western 21st century. Wow, how you could take that statement as anti-women is rather remarkable. Women working the same hours in the same job make the same money. The stat…

Sahara, I can see you are set to find 'discrimination' but the demographics are clear that women are taking over. As I infer you are for women, is that not a good thing?

This writer does not watch the NBA and just repeats wrong things he has heard. NBA games are played at a totally high level all year because teams that try to pace get beat. There is no coasting into the playoffs. The Lakers are showing that it is hard to win and just showing up is not a path to a title. Ironically,…

Goodell and the NFL is in the untenable position of being sued by hundreds of old employees for injuries while the current employees and the union refuse to stop doing the things that got the old employees injured. We are headed to seeing the irrational NFLPA take down the NFL just as the steelworkers took down steel…

Women make up over half of all university students, medical students and law students in the USA so I don't think there is any current issue with women going into any field they want to go into. Females throughout the West are outdoing males in every field and the future will be the ironic need to help males to stop…

Wow- 35 years of warming theory NOT having accurate predictions and it still has true believers. Who says religion is dead?

Like all socialism the Soviets eventually realized that socialism just brings the equality of misery as everyone eventually gets to equally share ..nothing. Except, ironically, women still got a lesser share of zero.

So many angry replies -so many Jezebel people who confuse their social/political ideas with biologic reality [and reality in general]. Anger and narcissicm do not make one an adult. Adulthood is dealing with reality. Not very much of that on Jezebel.

How about all the Jezebel writers resolve to not use the word F**k in 2013 ? It is lazy writing and immature. Every time there needs to be a declaration , use an original ,clever statement instead of just falling back onto the same use of adolescent wordplay. Just a suggestion...

Convoluted stories of intentions within intentions and hidden layers of identity is what all Russian literature is about. This is not 'real' Russian lit but it is based on Russian lit. The 'nesting dolls' are a metaphor for the Russian identity being hidden in hidden layers. So, you can't write about Russians and not…

Well, think about symbolism of shapes- long tubular shapes vs round, curving shapes ....

Just so no one misunderstands- just as the Soviets talked a lot about environmentalism while destroying their environment, the Soviets talked a lot about gender equality while no women actually had power or equality. So, no, the Soviets did not have gender equality.

That would be great in the US. I love automagic stuff! I want one.

Planes have a skeleton like a snake- a series of circular ribs that connect with structural keels that run the length of the fusilage. I suppose the batteries could be slung under the structure like a formfitting cruise missle fits and that could be dropped and replaced qiuckly. That would actually be a much better…

Follow the money- even glowing clouds MIGHT be due to global warming- because if you mention global warming/climate change in any study you get a grant. I remember when HIV research was the center of all grants and everything from ants to ethnic studies MIGHT be related to HIV. Whatever the hot button is you throw it…

Changing out batteries could be possible- but it would be tons of batteries so the plane design would need to be more like a cargo plane with a huge, opening cargo bay so the batteries could be moved .

Well, I don't disagree at all. People have not developed a totally new all-inclusive culture but the cultural changes of the last 70 years are astounding and there is a lot to see as progress.
