What nonsense. What kind of a man even wants to be driven by a common woman.

My company My rules. You don't decide for me who i choose to employ and who i choose not to.

Besides, women are weak vessels.
How can they have the same pay with men in a field dominated by men.

Even if they work the same time. Men should still be paid more because men are more productive than women.

Any company built on the foundation of women can never progress and is bound to fail.

Women are generally unproductive beings and with what we see everyday in this country, this statement is a fact.

That being said, there is no way they should get the same pay with men even if they do the same amount of work.
If you don't like your pay, tender your resignation letter and find your way out of the company.
You don't wanna be discriminated at work because you are a woman, then go build your own fortune and be the boss of you.

As long as it is the world outside, women will always be below men.
I rest my case.

its a bit dicey but women are not below men

These women shouting for equal pay, do they have the same qualifications as their male counterparts? If not they should go and rest abeg.

I don't agree with you either. Why can't they participate in formula one race or moto GP. Because they can't cheesy

Don't be ignorant. Women do sport racing and desert off-road car racing

Women in tech are going through exactly the same thing women in medicine went though before it became normal for women to be doctors.

I am going to post more links when I find them

The first programmer is a woman...let that sink in for a moment.

There is something called subconscious bias. Basically, you act like a jerk to women but you really don't know you are doing it, once confronted you deny it but then you do it because she is a woman. If at a job interview, a female interviewee bargains hard like a 'man', you subconsciously like her a little less because you are not expecting a woman to be that difficult. Sometimes your salary offer may be less in comparison to what you will offer a man with the same qualification. You may be less inclined to give her a job because of that.

And so on many examples.

I am not complaining nor am I tagging these men beasts. I find it hard to blame them for the bias. My problem is the way it is handled once confronted with reality. A good sensible person will make amends and be more conscious of how his subconscious and stereotypes affect how he acts. This person will self reflect and try and work towards a more liberal approach to the opposite sex.

Now, my opinion is not dismissive of the fact that some women are liars, incompetent, complacent and manipulative however thesee do not change the reality of 'most' women in the labour market.

This is utter bollocks. Women don't face any form of discrimination in the tech world. They are simply not good enough to break in, hence the need for favorable policies and quotas to have opportunities, which is in this case an actual form of discrimination to males in tech industry.

If gender discrimination exists, then every business will employ women since it's cheaper? Not so? Gender pay gap does not exist. What exists is earnings' gap.

You should escort yourself back to the medieval age Mr.
What makes you superior to the next woman?? Is it because of your penis?

When you come on social media to lay claims like this, you should prove it. This is the 21st century oga. You cant just come here boasting about being superior to me as a female without ''proofs''. Give me just one reason why I should believe that you are superior to me.

Thats how you will have daughters in the future and be telling them to behave like second fiddle, never to use their brains because they are females.

This gender equality thing sha.

Because of "gender inequality" there are hundreds of foundations and free vocational schools for females all around the world. Males end up working their asses off to enter and pay for the same trainings in institutions.

It's unfair to the male -folk too. Their call for equality has only brought inequality.

Are they working same hours/job role as the men?
If yes, they should get same pay. If no, they should keep kwayet.

As for being discriminated against, on what basis exactly?

I think some of these women need to realise they don't just wake up and decide where and when they don't wanna be discriminated against. Same way most of these women won't hire a male nanny, that's how some men won't want a female driver.

Sometimes, these choices are not due to hate.


Wo! Sometimes ehn, you use to have sense but other times I feel like squashing 4 eggs.
