XX and XY ...

What does that have to do with different pay scales?
I don't miss more work than the males, I have the same well actually higher education level than them, more experience and a better work ethnic.
I am not uneducated, and the job I chose is not in a low pay scale, i have been put in dangerous situations on a job... hell who say's the admin assistant won't be shocked by a damn short in the electrical supply to her cpu?
men in the work field... vs women in the work field (that have children) This does not pertain to me because I was always a career woman and my xhusband and I shared the duties when it came to dr's visits, sick kids, school functions... etc. Mostly it is pegged as the womans duty to do these things which inturn leads to more time missed.
Ok, I need to go fill my pie hole with a salad LOL
I'll quit my bitching long enought to do that.
No.. I sure do wish... I may be able to pull off those boobies but sure not those small hips.

If it helps, I’m imagining you covered in oil, right now.
I have a rant... Oh who me? Not Frisky!!!
When will XX be treated as fairly as XY? More experience, more productivity, yet less pay and severly less respect. My work is on time, and the demand on me is quite a bit more than my male counterparts. I don't think it's fair. I have been in the oil field (male based field) for over 8 years and not a damn thing has change.
I put in more time and more energy than two of the XY's in our office and they still get the upper hand treatment.
I would get more respect as a damn prostitute than a career woman in this field. Maybe its this small hick ass town I live in and the egotistical assholes I have to work with (not all men, but the majority) have no respect for women taking 'their' jobs.
My Sr. Estimator set me up for failure on the first day I started... why? Hell I dunno, never meet the man before. I didn't fail, and that irritated him even more... why? Because I didn't need him! I didn't beg for his help, cry because I just didn't understand like he expected me to do... He doesn't like me much, and really didn't like having to come to me to ask question on how to do something reguarding a class we took... oh that killed him.
Ok, I've had my rant!
No reply's necessary, but it was so much better to type it here rather than go postal up in this place.
And I didn't even scratch the surface of the difference of treatment given amongst male/female in my field. Oh and I am the first woman in company's history here to hold this positon. Guess its scary for them, wouldn't want a woman to be a bit better than you would you?
when you can kill a spider, and move a couch by yourself..
ever heard of the glass ceiling?? it is a term used to describe the condition that women cannot be promoted past.. problem being women supervisors are the big stumbling block against other women.. go figure..
Congrats by the way..

Want to have kini come over there for target practice?
LOL, really i don't get what is hot about about a woman in a hard hat, boots, safety glasses and oiled down...
LOL
I can do both... Just don't ask me to confront a big nasty roach, I crumble like a baby... eww...
There are stumbling blocks in every field, Its the nature of the beast i guess. I am not the only woman or man to battle this, and I don't see a change in the near future.
Frisky, I have always had a thing for Jessica Beals in Flash Dance.LOL, really i don't get what is hot about about a woman in a hard hat, boots, safety glasses and oiled down...
LOL
Damn, ya know.
Thing is like they were playing that on VH1 a couple of months ago, and I just thought it was so unrealistic her day gig.
Now, I don't.
The way movies now dumb everything down to get the message across, they make everything extreme now a days so they can make sure they get their idea across. For example in flashdance, I think one of the subtleties was that you couldn't classify the main protaganist. She wasn't 'typical'. In order to get that idea across today, since subtlety has been thrown out the door, they would make her a boilermaker by day, welding old Navy ships, and then maybe a ballerina by night and weekends.
Wait, that gets me kinda hawt.
lol
