    This is the prison people create for themselves. Take control of your own life and don't worry so much about what other people are doing.

    Women have been taught to be victims by others that see only the obstructions and rarely the opportunities. No matter how fortunate any individual happens to be, there are always challenges to overcome. You play the hand you're dealt the best you can, hope for the best, and consider yourself fortunate to be born in a country where there still exists great opportunity for those who can muster the energy and drive to exploit it.

    Ah, it’s our own fault. I didn’t realise that.

    Women are fortunate to be born in many countries
    Not always the USA.
    And many can see opportunities beyond the geographical accident of birth.
    Unlike some men who sit wrapped in their star spangled banner and shout about American exceptionalism.
    Spare me the American dream stuff please.
    Women all over the world work hard to reach their potential. The only thing that stands in their way is misogyny and babies.

    They are trying to create a society where libs/lefties/socialists/progressives run everything and the COMMON MAN is but a serf... a slave.

    Despite all the injustices in life, people are able to thrive. Of course there should always be movement toward improvement, but this comes slowly, so instead of waiting for Utopia to show up on your doorstep, make the best of what opportunities you have at present.

    In the end, everything is everybody's fault, so it's about identifying the issues and doing something positive to move forward. The blame game [other than punishing law-breakers] is a waste of time and energy.

    That's quite the chip on your shoulder.

    The U.S. certainly has its issues [b/c it is made up of human beings that have all kinds of flaws] but if you look at this country's achievements over 2.5 centuries, it's pretty impressive. The U.S. leads the world in almost every area because many of the best and brightest migrated here in combination with the fact that it has incredible geography and resources, the best tech and innovation, the best university system, the most stable form of government, and a list of other things a mile long. Most important, this country has a tradition of freedom which will flick off this temporary woke nuisance like a bad case of fleas [credit to George Carlin].

    Yes, there is a lot that needs to be fixed, but this has been a period of massive corruption coming from every direction imaginable.

    The issue has been identified. No one can say that women haven’t tried to make the best of their opportunities.
    Not being paid at the same rate as men, being expected to manage children and house, not being able to accumulate superannuation at the same rate as men and not being able to borrow money without a male guarantor are a few of the inequities which have hobbled women in their efforts to reach equality.

    :blowkiss:~ We here in the good old USA have no more worries about sexism, gender bias, gender discrimination. We can now freely change our gender — or become gender-neutral ! Problem solved ... :hug:
    The genius of the "New America " will take the world in new and better directions — if Co2 does not kill us first .

    So women are only live in the US?

    Thank you for your rahrah America thing, but WOMEN LIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD . Mate.

    And BTW America does not have the best of universities or the most stable government.
    When you can match Oxbridge or the Sorbonne and stop shouting at each other's politics, wherein even this forum bears witness to the petty nonsensical instability of US politics, you might start to see yourself as others see you.

    The one thing that is really disappointing about America is its incapacity to understand anywhere else.

    What you have to ignore are the religious retrograde who long for the bosom of their mothers. Who want to put women back into their historical roles.
    And who frankly don't like the competition.

    Every group at one time has been exploited. Consider the following...

    Men have [by far] the most dangerous jobs and suffer accordingly. Men have a much higher suicide rate. Women are the majority of students in college now. Men work considerably longer hours. Women initiate 80% of all divorces and are granted situations that make it possible to have significantly better relationships with their kids. Men have been fighting and dying in wars for thousands of years. Untold men's lives have been ruined by women making false claims. Men are the first to give up their lives when tragedy strikes. Men get up at night to find out what that strange noise was...and on and on and on.

    You want to have all the "rights" men have?, assume the responsibilities. In the meantime, take comfort in knowing that when calculated properly, women actually out-earn men by just a smidgen now [comparing the same exact job/conditions].

    What women want is all the privileges of being a man and all the privileges of being a woman. They end up with neither because they have lost the respect of all [another reason they are so damn miserable].

    The political instability you see now has happened many times and is why this country is what it is. We are currently airing out our dirty laundry. It will probably get considerably more interesting but what will result is something better because of the massive debate over many issues which is about to ensue.

    The U.S. made possible the greatest surge of global economic growth ever [and it's not even close]. The U.S. pretty much single handed policed the entire globe [made global trade possible post WWII] lifting billions out of poverty over the past 70 years.

    Of course this phase of globalism has come to an end and you will find out exactly how well you will do [unless you are from the parasitic nations of Great Britain, Japan, Australia, or in directly bordering the U.S.. Canada and Mexico will do just fine [especially Mexico]. And if you don't believe that MIT, Cal Tech, and Stanford [just to name three] are preeminent, I am not sure what to tell you.

    The U.S. has the best of just about everything [except cars]. And with the vast majority of the American supply chain either coming back to the U.S. [higher tech] and to Mexico [lower tech], the difference in wealth between this country and the ROW is going to be MUCH higher in the coming decades.

    We can feed ourselves, supply our own energy needs, defend ourselves, educate ourselves, out-innovate and out-produce everybody else. It's not even close

    Call it whatever you want [what it is is American hard work], but you've been tying your sorry ass caboose to our train long enough. How about going it on your own? I am getting tired of my money subsidizing you people. Get off your lazy asses and do your own work!

    I think the predominant issue with women being miserable is pure and fewer men are getting married.

    It's a raw deal for a guy.

    Danger is subjective. Women bear all children.
    Suicide ?

    when I was still working, I never finished at the end of my shift- there was always stuff to be done. Not too many male nurses volunteered to stay late ( and unpaid) to help me.

    Divorce? Thank goodness for no fault divorce.

    men probably initiate all those wars. Have you ever known Mujaheddin women or Israeli women soldiers?
    Did you know that American military women can be in the front line?


    Untold women’s lives have been ruined by men making false claims.

    don’t understand about men dying when tragedy strike.
    I get up at night because my husband is deaf and the noise is usually the possum.

    we want equality.
    Not to be put on a pedestal. To be treated fairly in the workplace, not be told what we can do with our bodies, to be given respect for our opinions.

    not unreasonable surely? The sorts of things men take for granted.
    Wages?
    Definition. The United States Federal Glass Ceiling Commission defines the glass ceiling as "the unseen, yet unbreachable barrier that keeps minorities and women from rising to the upper rungs of the corporate ladder, regardless of their qualifications or achievements."

    There are enough differences that matter in the world today.
    This one doesn't. In fact I find it a poor waste of time. For the sake of Imp. I hope he isn't serious.
    If he is, it is a shame.

    Then stop complaining and do the hard work. Everybody is tired of the constant whining. Act like adults instead of like self-absorbed teenagers. It's 2022 now.

    And next time you are on a sinking ship in the middle of the ocean, be sure to tell the guys that they can have the lifeboats and you and the rest of the women will be happy to go down with the ship!

    I’m reminded of Ginger Rogers.
    Sure he was great, but dont forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did…backwards and in high heels.’

    And will you be happy to sacrifice your woman and children for your continued existence?
    Are they replaceable so that your ego can be washed clean by the next tides?

    TBH i am seriously horrified and disgusted by the recent findings in the London police and fire service which have exposed disgraceful treatment of women who were hired to prove equality of opportunity on paper.
    One policeman killed a woman by using his badge as a control mechanism. Phone messages showing constant disrespect, sexuallty explicit descriptions of women and two policemen who shared photos of dead sisters they were supposed to protect.
    Urine in the helmets of women firefighters .
    CONSTANT WHINING?
    Damn right.
    It is about time MEN acted like adults instead of the puppets of their penises.
    And it doesn't stop at the age of supposed adulthood. The UK had a secretary of state who declared a total Covid ban on close contact and was then photoed in a sexual clunch with a woman in his office.
    WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SUPERIOR GENDER BUT WHO CANT SAY NO TO A WOMAN??
    Flecking pansies. They never learn.
