but guys don't actually get paid more for the same job with the same company.

And the obvious solution is, of course, that both make equal amounts of money and both be free to pay for dinner.

Legal and social equality for all are desirable qualities in a society. Legal equality is where all people have the same legal rights, are given equal pay for equal qualifications and have equal access to social programs and benefits. Social equality is where there are no social inhibitions to a person choosing their profession, and equal social expectations of responsibility.

In the case of dating - there is nothing wrong with a male paying for dinner, but it is obviously anti-equality for there to be a social expectation for men to pay for dinner.

In the case of employment, there is no reason why men and women have to perform the same jobs. Men are, on average, more physically capable than women for such jobs as construction. Additionally, it appears that men have an ever so slightly larger mean and standard deviation for math ability, which can account for the differences between gender populations in the fields of math/science. What would be sexist would be for a woman who has the same capabilities as any male applicant to be denied for a job.

There are many injustices done to men in our society, as well as double standards we have to deal with. There are also some social inhibitions affecting women still, which tend to be more region specific than universal.

But it is no more fair of men to say, "We should get paid more because there is more stigma on us to pay for women" than it is for women to say, "We should get more scholarships than men because there are fewer of us in the field."

That isn't how it works. The woman character is a strawman--sure, men are biologically stronger as a sex and are better suited to performing certain types of manual labor, but to pretend that men always do better in a white collar context and that this justifies the better pay they recieve is utter bullshit.

If someone actually said, "I'm the guy, I should get paid more." then they are a complete dickbag.

I like how the girl can only lift 2lbs, yet she has probably been doing a job that would inherently cause her to gain muscle.. silly

"I have the vagina, you pay for everything."

I don't like it when my boyfriend pays. I feel it undermines me and it's sexist. But he does get paid more. When I finish my degree and I make more than he does, then I'll pay for dinner...

I have no problem with a women is capable of doing a physically demanding job as long as she can pull her own weight. But giving a woman a job that she cannot perform just because she is a woman is wrong. Hell, i dont even oppose women going into combat, but they better not expect any sort of different treatment while they are there.

This comic would be pretty cool if women actually expressed these opinions.

PurpleNuggets · 2011-04-24T06:48:40+00:00

i have been looking for this comic forever. it summarizes everything perfectly. thank you for reposting lol

I don't think paying for dinner justifies guys getting paid more.

snoopyzanus · 2011-04-24T03:20:38+00:00

I thought mensrights was not a sub-reddit for misogyny? This post is just women bashing... that's not what this place is for.

And on top of that, this comic has no artistic value whatsoever. It's just a waste of time.

In before the posts that women actually make more than men
