Just who exactly is our new oracle DominiConnor????

[moondog]

I like it all.

See this is what comes of us girlies trying to talk about science and stuff. We loose all sense of punctuation. we really should stick to the simple things in life, like lentil weaving etc.

phowar You can bring that pay packet over here any time Blu Its ENMORMOUS!!!!

ah but at least we don't generalise like men do.

PMSL Blu.

I love your new guise.

martianbishop mocks my position skilfullly, but presumably she (got it right this time) sees just as many reports in the media as I do about the many many ways women surpass men. Whereas I can accept them as true individually, does she not find it odd we never see articles that say men excel at something, anything ?

Although blu and I disagreed, I'm not sure I was actually being abused. Parodied certainly, and I fear she veered into sarcasm mbut abused, no.

yes Blu but we have to prove to men that we deserve equal wages, you see - can't just namby pamby around in arts jobs and expect a decent wage...

spidermama you're a flirt.

Tarantula and Spidermama - like to spin your web around a bulging fly?

mmm Mmmmmm.

Ah, come on DC, I just googled and came up with men better than women at bearing pain, ageing, using E books, slimming, and that's just on the first 2 pages out of 172 000.

Never???

Methinks it's another of DC's trademark generalizations

so is he a man? can't be ar*ed reading it all!

ooooooo Blu what an offer. Just remember we are spiders adn just exactly what spiders do after they have wrappe dsomething up neatly [vicious ]

Cover their prey in juices and suck on it?

I'm all yours, no arachnophobia here!

look what's happened to Blu since she grew a penis. She's rampant! Filthy.

Whwn I read DC's posts I feel I should understand them but somehow I end up befuddled. You know how when you are tired and you are trying to concentrate on something but you just don't get it well it's like that. There are lots of clever people posting here but I always understand them even though I know I could never write as fluidly as they do.

Perhaps I am tired !

I'll soon have that looking like a dried up prune. am very good at sucking the juice out of things.

FILTH!

Certainly I'm with Ruty that there is too much inequality of pay. Though I suspect we'd disagree on exactly how it happens.

The nearest I have to a political affiliation is being a "hard line economist reader", and thus think the best way to undermine it is to require that everyone's pay in any organisation be published.
Would cost very little to implement.

This would make the labour market more efficient, and at it's heart the right way to think of pay disparity is as a malfunction of the market rather than an evil plot.

I'm cynical about the role of government simply because it seems one of the worst offenders, using it's power to distort the market.

Well am off to fight the daily battle to get home. Heres one to ponder Why do male cyclist always think they are going to be better and faster than us girls and try and push us to one side at the lights? Esp when they are riding a pile of crap that prob last saw oil a century ago.

Anyone watch the IT Crowd? I took it for granted, now I miss it these friday nights...

I feel it incumbent upon me to point out, in my girlish way, that that it's was wrong.

twice, in fact, MI.

MI, harsh but fair!

And I am crap at multi-tasking

MI - that'll be as one jounalist to another, then?

man to man, I mean?
