banned bossy

They are also 60% less likely to ask for a raise or a promotion than men. But i guess thats mens fault as well?

Only to the extent that men participate in the socialization of girls to behave like that, like by calling them bossy while urging boys to be assertive.

That isn't why women are paid less.

Women actually receive more raises than men, it's just the raises are a lot smaller.

So you are saying that they are willing to give in to smaller raises rather than demand a larger one. This just makes it worse nor better buddy.

A lot of that has to do with women being trapped in single-parenthood after the father goes out for a pack of cigarettes and never comes home. Thus, she has to make as much money as possible to support the child that she's half responsible for.

So yes, it often is a man's fault. *Drops the mic*

yeah,but if people were more conservative,we would
have less single mother.

Our society has a taboo on asking people what they are paid. As a result, people do not know what their fellow employees are paid, unless the company has a rigid pay scheme.

You are completely ignorant of the issue, just as many women are completely ignorant of the fact that they're paid less than the guy in the next cubicle over. It is the fault of the employer for not paying her enough, not the employee for not being given enough

Republicans get divorced more than Democrats.

This is probably because Democrats are, on average, more educated. Educated people take longer to marry. Less-educated people marry quickly, often to an unsuitable person.

It is the values of those associated with the Democratic party, not the Republican party, which reduce divorce rates.

We see the same thing with teenage pregnancy.

Also, red states have higher divorce rates than blue states:

And there I was drifting through life thinking that there was at least one problem not created by Republicans.

You've drawn a ridiculous conclusion. Did it ever occur to you that Democrats have lower divorce rates because they advocate informal unions over marriage, and that teenage pregnancy is linked to income level and ethnicity rather than political affiliation? Oh, and claiming that education is an exclusively Democratic attribute is elitism at its best.

Let's hear your explanation for the higher rates of teen pregnancy in red states, then.

You must be careful with statistics. This statistics considers divorces/ 1000 habitants, non divorces/1000 married people. The more people are married, the more people divorce. Indeed, going to an extreme case, in a imaginary perfect non-conservative liberal State where everybody has common-law partners and nobody is married, the divorce rate would be... 0 divorces/1000 habitants!

As it is said, the first cause of divorce is marriage.

You must be careful with reading.

From the second link in the article link

Not very many women would say any of those things.

So is this the way you talk to men? If so, then you are promoting an atmosphere where men should be in charge and women should just be there for when men want to get laid.

How do you figure this?
Nothing stops conservative men from walking out on their wives and children.

I do not think that high divorce rates are caused by Republicanism as such. I was merely pointing out that Bill's hypothesis that Republicans would have lower divorce rates than Democrats was wrong. In reality, education is a confounding variable that makes marriages more likely to succeed, and Americans more likely to be Democrats.

My claim that "the values of those..." requires further clarification. Broadly speaking, Republicans get married because they should do. Democrats get married because they have found someone they want to marry. Of course, this is not always true, but if you were to compare the groups, that's what you'd find. You seem to agree with this - Democrats advocate informal unions and only get married when they want to. You should instead have criticised my assumption that single mothers were either teenagers or divorcees. This is perhaps not a suitable heuristic.

If you were trying to imply that Democratic "divorces" don't count as such because Democrats don't get married as often, that's fine, and basically what I was saying. Kuku is wrong to say that the stat is "divorces per 1000 people" - in both citations, it is divorces per marriage.

One thing that teenage pregancy is linked to is sex education. Republicans advocate for abstinence-only sex education. States that teach abstinence-only sex education have higher rates of teenage pregnancy than those which teach proper sex education.

Finally, I did not say "education is exclusively a Democratic attribute". I said "Democrats tend to be better educated". This is well-documented. Source 1, 2. Again, this might not be "smart people become Democrats"- remember that college attendance has been rising for decades, and older people tend to be more conservative...

Im talking about talking about single mothers,
not divorce mothers,there's a difference.
There maybe more out of wedlock kids
in the conservative state,however is the father
or mother loyal to the kid or each other.

to me a single mother is a woman who
A:has no idea who the father is
or
B:the father left before the kid was even born

a divorce,separated mother
A:know who the father is
and
B:the father didn't leave until the kid got older
