For the military aspect, at least one of the first reasons was simply because countries needed a reliable source of mens for war and for sustain their economy during war times, if they sent their womans to war they can potentially lose because they will be cutting off their source of population, less womans equals less population which means less army forces.

Oh, and please do not takes this the wrong way, I'm not justifying anything and I'm not saying is good or bad, I'm simply stating one of the very first reasons why women didn't go to war.

OK here we go...population, there is now problem with this there are way too many people on this planet, the experts say this planet will, or would be at it's peak at the rate of some 500 million in population, and I can name a few counties that have close to 1 billion if not more.
 if anything we need less population in survive this mess, people infestation, as some may view it. I think we not populate for another five years or so at the very least!
Now this is much bigger issue that needs more attention than, equality for the woman in the Workplace/Life!

Yeah its your fault Suki... :lol: :lol: > Just kidding.

For the record I love women, the feminine kind not the ones I previously described that manipulate the system to no end.

GG and our legal fraternity are @ the heart of my woes so nothing personal eh.

I've seen too many of my friends relatives go through the mill and yeah is frustrating when there's not much one can do about their situation.

You cant regulate everything I guess so maybe we should bypass convention and treat each other with the dignity and respect that we all deserve. Your 50-50% analogy is good but without forcing it down our throats as some seem to do.

Different people, customs, situations... pretty hard to get one size to fit all.

Unfortunately in regards to population as evidenced by the worlds stance on climate change, earthlings can be categorized as being experts in crisis management. Leaving the hard decisions until the tipping point is reached then we act. It will all be too late if we let things slide any longer food will be a major issue for all.

 


Probably need to be applying for a pensioner discount...then again the women behind the counter will pass that on a percentage basis with females receiving a more favourable outcome. Problem is the ratio between genders heavily leans toward the skirt. Whether we like it or not its no longer a mans world!

The summary: two guys while sat in a conference shake off-colour jokes, feminist gets the conference staff involved, having also taken a photo and tweeted about it (and later blogged about it)

I'm not going to defend what the guys said - because it was a stupid thing to say, in a semi-public environment, but the woman misses the point *so* badly. Yup, she defends her actions with what amounts to "I didn't want to tell them to stop because I didn't want to be heckled or have my experience denied".

Just evaluate that for a moment. Instead of politely asking the guys to stop, she has to go and photograph and publicly name and shame them, and that prompts the conference organisers to eject them.

Now, I will repeat what I said: I'm not going to defend what the guys did, because it was inappropriate and stupid. But so were her actions. Playing the sex card to get inappropriate behaviour stopped wasn't necessary. (And she's a massive hypocrite too, but reality distortion sets in when that gets tackled)

I'd love to see more women in IT. But this sort of endeavour sets it back far more than it would possibly help >_<

I read about that earlier and I have to say I completely agree with you. Not to mention it did bring some tension into the  home as my lady happens to be an HR Coordinator and agreed with the young woman until I asked a simple questionShe got silent for a about 20 minutes and agreed the young lady handled the situation extremey poorly.
