New report says millions of women at risk of falling into poverty, economic ruin

FortunateBum · 2014-01-13T18:32:14+00:00

This is complete bullshit.

First of all, the survey is about how women feel. They all feel economically disadvantaged when in reality, women - especially young women make more than than men.

From the article itself: "Amid an apparent boom in female empowerment and participation — a time in which women earn the majority of secondary degrees and represent more than half of the country's voters"

This is exactly what it's like on an individual level to be in a relationship with a woman. No matter how good things are, women will always complain. Women will always bitch about wanting more.

This survey is objective evidence that in spite of women doing better than men in the current economy, they think they're struggling.

You know what really fucks with me about these kinds of articles? Besides the obvious it's the way they talk about women like they're a new fucking species we just discovered in the late 1990s and no one's figured out exactly where they fit into the puzzle of society. Like some man got lost in the thick jungle of the local mall in the summer of '98 and, thirsty and delirious, he stumbled into a Victoria's Secret and discovered girls, and now us thoughtless men are having to rewrite the very laws of nature to account for them.

"and 28 million dependent children"

You could correct two problems at once by not blindly awarding women custody

most women I know have toxic with spending habits. In my beta days I would provide the hell out of a relationship. Once a strong earning beta, heck even average earning beta is introduced into a relationship, women use the "combined income" theory. Combined income means she thinks she can spend more than she usually can because somehow YOU should know that you are supposed to save for a rainy day (car trouble, sick days, extra travel etc). This shit happened to me and I felt like crap for not being able to pull the weight of two at the time. I wish this on no one and I'm glad I woke up when I did. What is sad is that I believe these women at risk are making decent livable income but status updates on Facebook where bff's got a new pair of shoes makes them go out and try to top them. This leads to their financial demise.

My heart bleeds...

Oh, and this is priceless:

"Men are totally a part of this conversation, in terms of how they raise their daughters, in terms of how they support their wives and their partners,"

Yeah, not in terms of their wants and desires, just in terms of how they can service women.

big_dick_tom · 2014-01-13T23:28:42+00:00

None of these women were having sex with me while I was in high school or getting my engineering degree, so I don't really care about their struggles.

Villaintine · 2014-01-13T18:15:02+00:00

From the points presented in the story:

•75 percent wish they had devoted more time and energy to education and career — relative to 58 percent of the general population.

•73 percent wish they had made better financial decisions over the course of their lives — and so did 65 percent of the total survey group.

•Low-income women are more likely than men to regret tying the knot when they did — 52 percent versus 33 percent.

•And nearly one-third of low-income women with children wish they had postponed having children — or had fewer of them.

It seems to me that Gillibrand's quote "We have to do better," is absolutely right- if "we" is in regards to women in general. Women need to understand that their choices have consequences that will affect them for the rest of their lives and be prepared to make well-thought out choices rather than going on "muh feels" or by the spur of the moment.

In short women from the earliest ages need to be taught responsibility.

Aaron565 · 2014-01-13T19:53:43+00:00

I think my favorite part of the article was the picture of the "stressed out," nicely dressed, white woman working her office job.

The article was explicitly addressing women working in minimum wage jobs and I would bet my house that the overwhelming majority of women which comprised those statistics were not white, i.e. non-white women working in places like McDonald's.

But, in the end...fuck'em. Sounds like women reaping as they have sown.

"Many women who responded to the poll said they wished they had stayed in school longer and Shriver said fathers and husbands need to reinforce the mindset that women can set themselves up to be breadwinners.

"Men are totally a part of this conversation, in terms of how they raise their daughters, in terms of how they support their wives and their partners," she said.

"Leave out the women, and you don't have a full and robust economy. Lead with the women, and you do," Shriver wrote in the report. "It's that simple, and Americans know it."

Did I just read that correctly?
Men are the problem that women are in debt!?
Excuse me?!?

IIHotelYorba · 2014-01-13T21:38:22+00:00

A constant I've found is that whenever you see headlines like this, it's pretty safe to assume that whatever it is also affects men but in greater numbers and/or more severity.

30303030303030 · 2014-01-13T18:09:29+00:00

"When women do well, men do well and the nation does well," Shriver said.

clearly...

Fear not though, men will have to bail you out. Obviously men fault that more women lives in poverty. I think 1 out of 7 homeless people are female so they still have a long way to go to "equality".

Women under 30 earn more than men under 30 now. More graduate college. More get hired.

Clauderoughly · 2014-01-13T17:59:39+00:00

"We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life"

By equality, it is meant that men should be taught that being thrown scraps and expected to support women is the only acceptable course of action.

"We have to do better," Gillibrand wrote. "That requires demanding better from our elected leaders, and to me, that means changing the face of those leaders so that their agendas reflect women's needs."

They demand additional welfare programs to support their hard work and effort of simply existing.

"When women do well, men do well and the nation does well,"

This is laughable.

The report, co-authored by NBC News special anchor Maria Shriver and The Center for American Progress ...

That pretty much says it all right there. Liberal, militant feminist.

Can I say something that has bothered me since I entered the workforce? Every woman that I've worked with, every single one, has cried at one point or another and demanded more money as she shed those tears. Every single time that happened I would go to the lunch room to laugh my ass off. I am in accounting, I know exactly how much each person makes (because I help process the payroll) and what each person does (because I help write the job descriptions), and in each and every case, the woman who cried and claimed she was underpaid and over worked was getting paid as much as, or more than, the men who had the exact same workload. The difference? the men sit at their desks working the full 8-10 hour shifts, the women? they work for 4 or 5 hours, and spend the remaining 3 hours complaining about their boyfriends/husbands, their pets, the fact that, god forbid, they have to clean or cook at home etc. A few days ago I was working my ass off trying to finish up some reports, and the lady beside me spent an hour agreeing with the other lady that there was something wrong with the other lady's son. They sat there and talked about how dumb he seemed when compared to his sister, and then it became a whole generalization where the entire male gender was somehow dumber than the female gender. This is a man's own mother talking shit about him like that. It's like they don't understand the notion of professionalism. Mind you, I'm not saying all women are like this, I'm just saying that all the women I've personally worked with are.

Millions of men are struggling as well. Nothing new here.

These problems women suffer are of their own making. Yeah they get advanced degrees. But in fluff majors that no one cares about. Like Fashion.

Second, women have a shop til you drop mentality. I dated a woman who lived with her parents and had two jobs. She had no savings.

And how many times have you heard about men who marry women and discovered that their lady are $60,000 in debt. Then her debt becomes his debt.

All financial problems women have are their own making. Men go to college to study engineering and accounting. They save, invest, buy homes. Women go to school to major in fashion design. And when they get out they spend all their money on shoes.

And who pays for all of this. Men. We do the responsible thing with our money. Women who are broke race to government looking for government programs and bail outs.

2014-01-13T20:52:48+00:00

Looks like all those gender studies degrees are paying off.

2014-01-13T23:27:32+00:00

Wow the feminazi BS never ends. Maybe if those adorable sluts and gleeful cheaters had chosen their mates better they'd have a father around to do what men do...Provide. Fuck em I don't care and I'm never letting a broad saddle me with her baggage and financial burdens.

rumbledust · 2014-01-14T01:32:05+00:00

The gender ratio at science-heavy colleges (Georgia Tech, etc) tells you everything you need to know about the economic worthiness of women.

RainingDown1 · 2014-01-13T21:30:40+00:00

all the shoes you dippy females.

As this trend continues, you can bet taxes are going to be raised to pay for them.

Let me let you guys in on a little secret. There are TONS of girls in middle to lower class neighborhoods all over the country turning to prostitution to just survive. Sites like SeekingArrangement and WhatsyourPrice are seeing RECORD numbers of women signing up.

rubs index finger and thumb together

Playing the smallest violin, how sad. Poor girlies. I care sooo much.
