Good job! But that doesn't negate the statistic that it's overwhelmingly women who do this. Not according to the statistics and studies quoted by this book. Please send me the study you're referring to that made these findings.

But you know what, I'm happy to practice what I preach. Please link me to studies that show women are biologically predisposed not to study engineering, or whatever it is. I'll give it a read.

Saying someone "chooses" to put themselves in a worse position than they could be is one of the laziest arguments I've seen. Society is so complex and so many factors could lead to someone having to make a choice and you throw that all out the window and say that yeah, women just have a...

When you say women prefer to be caregivers, then you're ignoring the vast percentage of women that want to continue working but cannot due to employer policies (created assuming that someone else is taking care of the kids). Not enough parental leave, not enough support to new parents, not...

Some responses here are just insensitive and I won't bother with a response. Some don't even consider that single moms exist. It's fine that the system isn't in favour of women in the workplace cause it's the man's job to earn and the woman's to child rear? Really?

Do we know what his injury/medical issue is?

I thought the job was currently held by this lady I kept seeing on Twitter. Or at least her job title was similar

To give you a more serious answer, the gender pay gap isn't always in that women are getting paid less for doing the exact same job (although sometimes that is true - see Google gender data for even an ultra liberal company's stats) but that women are sometimes pushed into industries or types...

Jeez, come up with an original thought at least some times

Something this book does is to ask questions about why someone is working 180 vs 265 days and how doing so is holding them back. And then changing policy based on that. Why can a man come to work early and stay late but a woman cannot? Is it because the man has someone at home (likely a woman)...

Pretty interesting, thanks for the link!

Now you guys are focusing on the phone thing instead of the example that the author clearly spells out in the screenshots i posted. Please have a look at that and let me know your thoughts

Here's 3 pages of it that I screenshotted from the Amazon sample that's available for free (so you don't even have to buy the book to read the first chapter). Maybe this will convey a point

Don't take the author's thoughts to be blaming you or other men for causing a problem. It's not trying to assign blame to one gender vs the other. It's rather pointing out the man being the "default" is causing a lot of problems that disproportionately affect women, and the fact that we should...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41104077-invisible-women This book is a very eye opening look on gender bias throughout the world and how it unintentionally gets that way due to biases in data collection and well meaning policies that try to promote equality (that end up doing the...

If the wifi doesn't reach the non smart TV then adding a roku (or Amazon fire TV or chromecast) to it won't help since they'd need wifi as well. You can solve this problem by buying a wifi repeater (shouldn't be more than $35 on Amazon) which will just plug into the wall outlet and relay the...

It seems like he can't get the starting job cause he doesn't fit the scheme. Too big to be a S and to small to be a LB. We use a nickel back though that's a hybrid between S and LB, so maybe he's a better fit for us

True, I wonder if there's any studies on whether gas or electric are better over the entire lifetime of the car. I can look for some soon (I've been pretty busy these days though, so expect reply out of the blue sometime lol) There's similar costs to transporting and storing the gasoline...

Actually, the energy in the electric grid is more efficiently produced than the energy produced by a car's internal combustion engine. Even if the energy were produced by fossil fuels, it would be more efficient to use an electric car than a gas car.

I assumed it had something to do with turnovers /shrug
