UK Pay Gap
posted by Jonny at 3:30 pm / 

Ok thats it, i'm starting a current events section (or not section) so we can discuss, well hum current events.

So first off, UK Pay Gap problems... or not problems. In case you havent heard (and i'm assuming nobody has since most of the people visiting here aren't really interested in 'news') there is SHOCK in the UK since the "Women and Work Commission" (whatever that is) has found that women earn 17% less than men. Okay that does sound like it is a bit unfair (or very unfair) but lets face it, women are unreliable. Could get married one day, get pregnant a couple times, and there she goes taking your company's money away without doing a bit of work!

Mr Duncan states that "Unequal pay based on sex discrimination is completely and totally unacceptable in this day and age. We will do what it takes to stamp it out." Thats fair enough, but its not unequal pay based on sex discrimination, its based on the fact that you allow women to stop working and keep getting paid for taking care of their baby, and therefore businesses are losing out whilst they wouldn't if they had employed a man to begin with. It makes complete sense to me.

I don't understand why it isn't a woman's responsability if she gets pregnant. If she wants to have a baby, then its her problem, find your time to take care of it. I won't get time off work just cause I want to buy a baby lion and take care of it! (yeah yeah okay weird example, but hey this is entertainment)

Oh this is fun, its gonna start a major debate!
oh so sexist!!! lol
Women are entitled to paid maternity leave....having babies (which men pay a 50% part in!!) is long and tiring and extremely painful during birth!!! Not that i personally would know...but its just the way it is!!
And yeh yeh we get ur money....the joys of marriage mwhahahaha!!!!
 
having babies is long, tiring and extremely painful after birth too. With kids like you these days anyways! haha
