    On average, probably, but their are factors beyond job description that determine salary unless you subject to collective bargaining. These may include job performance and time in service as well as other things. Most jobs that are considered exempt in the private sector have a salary range that corresponds to job category. Between promotions, you are supposed to fall in the range and as you demonstrate your ability to do the job over time you should rise from lower in the range to higher in the range. Ironically, somebody who gets promoted frequently ( and this is the case with some females on the fast track) will always tend to be paid less than those who spend more time in grade.

    If skill, performance, and responsibility are equal, they should. Bear in mind an apprentice does NOT compare with a journeyman, and neither of them compare with a master craftsman. A lead person, supervisor, or manager earns bigger bucks for dealing with bigger problems.

    I think they should get less for being sperm donors or professional distance peeing though.
    Everything else? sure, why not.

    It only makes sense that if you do the same job you should get the same pay. When I worked for the Government everyone was paid by job class no matter what sex you were.

    But people should be careful about how this is propagated, because many times the studies don't include all the factors. One such study that did found that women get paid 98% of what men do, so there is no real problem that is perceived.

    That depends on a lot of things. First of all, what does she look like? I mean, why would I hire a woman if she looks like a dumpster fire? I'd rather just have a guy in there if I can't get a hard on every time she walks in. Second, does she really REALLY want to get better pay? How bad does she want it? IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!! Third, can the bitch keep her mouth shut? I mean i can't have her blabbing to all her coworkers about our affair and cost me half my life savings when my old lady finds out. Fourth, is she good at her job....HAHAHA, just kidding, like it matters how good she can do her job as long as she's putting in the extra hours...IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!

    How many African American Governors do we have then??????????? Gee, I wonder why?? Brainwashed? Name all the African American Governor's including (REPUBLICAN'S) are there to many to name? I don't think so! Draw your own conclusion.

    Maybe the one's who need a BREAK are the African American's running for PUBLIC OFFICE by not judging them based on the COLOR of their skin or their GENDER.

    "How many african american governors do we have ?" How many do we need ? Do we hire them just because they are black ? Thats what you seem to be saying !! The black can vote just like the white can. If they meet the qualifications. But you don't seem to care about who qualifies. Just what color their skin may be ! Thats racist isn't it? The black population is approximately 12 % but you want a majority black. Why ? Get real.

    Yes they should. But I also think there are jobs that MOST women should not do. I do not want a female fighter climbing to my window to get me out in a fire. I want a big strong man.

    That is why I emphasized MOST. I still want a big strong man, not a women smaller than me. I'm 5"8' so many are. I hope they keep up the physical standards but I have my doubts about that.

    Doubt all you want, but I saw with my own eyes what these women were capable of and they would have been insulted if they were held to lower standards.

    Most places aren't. Most places hire women just because they have to fulfill their minority quotas. They are so eager to have minorities and women to look good for PR purposes that standards are way lowered.

    I will admit that even though the ladies I worked with at the station were physically capable, one of them in particular was always looking for a reason to claim sexual harassment. In fact we made it so obvious to her (in a teasing sort of way) that we were tiptoeing around her when she was around that she eventually filed a lawsuit over just that. It didn't make it to court, but our beloved chief got transferred over it and after that the other girls wouldn't speak to her and neither would anyone else so she quit.

    That is to bad. Even when you try to do things right it doesn't always work. There are a lot of crazies out there.

    Women claim they just want to be treated as equals, but I can tell a dick joke at work to a dude and not worry about losing my job. However, that same joke will almost certainly get me fired if overheard by a woman. Is that equality or special treatment?
  • lauren ... wilsonmja 2012/04/09 01:26:17
    lauren dull
    I can't stand women like that, and I would probably laugh at your dick joke then tell you a better one. That is one thing I hate about political correctness , No one tell good jokes any more. I often think the feminist movement hurt women and was designed to make ugly women relavent . I enjoy being a girl and enjoy being treated like a lady.
