A) Those are three letters, not words. B) I am sure that PDF will import into Excel to allow them to examine how the numbers were derived quite well. C)Seven words: Only send us Word and Excel documents.

No, the fact that women don't pursue higher pay does not support the contention that women are "disadvantaged in their careers by lower pay for the same work as men". It is funny that you accuse me of thinking women are weak and/or inferior then outright say that women are taught to be weak and inferior. Project much?

You haven't answered the question. Rather, you stated an arguably subpar alternative you prefer. What if the ability to run QuickBooks Pro 2013 is required for business reasons?

"Why is it that every single file you send me has to be reformatted? If you don't get your act together, I will have no choice but to cancel our contract and change suppliers."

Oh, you thought that the documents created are only used internally? Are you sure you have worked in the real world?

Really? What if the company is using software that is Windows only and doesn't run right under WINE? What if they need QuickBooks Pro 2013 which runs like garbage under WINE?

Where I live we have trucks that do all the heavy lifting. All the garbage collectors have to do is drive the truck, work leavers, and occasionally move cans.

I spent the last 15 years in Telecom at large companies. While it wasn't as unbalanced as what you indicate, the majority of the tech side were men. But, the interesting thing was that most of the women who were on the tech side weren't Americans. They were mostly Chinese and Indian with a few Eastern Europeans and the occasional American sprinkled in. And, for the most part, the American women weren't as competent as their female counterparts.

Atypical? Says who? You? How many strippers do you know? I personally know strippers. I have tutored strippers at the local community college. I have dated an ex-stripper. Most of them make well over $50,000 per year. I knew one who routinely made $2,000 in cash a weekend.

I knew one woman who admitted to prostituting at the strip club while working as a dancer, or "providing extras" as she called it. She made over $150,000 a year doing that. The biggest money problem strippers have is that they get addicted to the money and the party lifestyle and the drugs that go with it. It isn't that they don't make a lot of money, it is that spend everything they make.

A) provide scientific data to support your statistics. B) As the customers of prostitutes are overwhelmingly straight males, a major imbalance of this sort should not be surprising. You may as well say that 99% of the men who go to gay night clubs are gay or bisexual.

Or, at least the ones to report it. Domestic abuse of men is like the rape of men. There is such a huge stigma attached to it that men won't report it. And, even when men do report it, there is a good chance they will be forced to leave their home even if the men are the victim. Most of the laws are written so that the police must make the man leave.

Except there has been quite a bit of debunking of this by women. Recently on Planet Money, a female assistant professor from UT Austin was talking about who women ask for raises and bonuses much less than men. A few years ago, a female economist wrote a paper saying how, when choosing a job, women as a group use a different set of criteria than men.

Men, as a group, will overwhelmingly go after the better paying job even if it the job requires nights and/or weekends, extensive travel, dirty work, working for a company they don't like or agree with, or in other ways giving up personal comfort and/or satisfaction.

On the other hand, women, as a group, rate personal satisfaction and personal comfort at a higher level than men. Women will choose a job that pays less if it provides more personal satisfaction such as working at a favored non-profit rather than at a for-profit company. Women will choose a job lower paying job over a higher paying job if the lower paying job doesn't require onerous working conditions such as 50+ percent travel or having to work long or odd hours.

In a way, you are proving my previous point with this. Many women choose to stay home for a year or more to have and raise children, which necessitates the men continuing to work and possibly working more hours to make up for the loss of income. Now, some women don't choose to stay home to raise the kids and work while pregnant. That is where the Family Leave Act come in. Look it up some time.

So, you are saying that there isn't a history of some girls getting boys to help with and/or outright do their homework, often by promising or providing affection and/or intimacy? Next, you will say that prostitution never happens.

There is no need to defend against "They suck because they are like everyone else!"

So, they suck because they are like pretty much every successful company with moderately happy customers and an advertising budget?

Your ad hominem attack shows you have no actual argument to support your position.

Make a case for why American Express sucks or, as you put it, swallows.

For millennia, people have been pair bonding and have called it "marriage". Before the Europeans crossed the Atlantic, the Native Americans had the two-spirit people who lived as the opposite gender, including getting married. You seem to forget that christianity and the rest of the abrahamaic religions are fairly new super-cults. Marriage existed for a long time outside of Europe, in other cultures, and in other religions.

Don't be foolish. Polygamy was banned fairly recently, consent wasn't actually required of the woman who was considered chattel, and even age restrictions are civil not religious. There is nothing in the bible about how old a person, especially a woman, must be to wed.

Why did the church forbid it? Because earlier religions forbade it. Why did they forbid it? Because inbreeding resulted in deformed offspring and being ignorant as they were, they attributed it as punishment from the god(s) du jour.
