And you know... it's funny that of that ENTIRE post... that is all you got out of it.

Guess you are just looking for something aren't you.

Does that post make me sexist against women?

I was a single father for a few years and I'm currently staying home with my infant son. I call it parenting.

A lot of women are, amazingly enough, sexist against women.

There is no shadowy conspiracy, there is a culture that is gender biased.

What are the male equivalent insults of bitch, slut or whore? How many woman catholic priests have you met ? Women haven't even been able to vote for as long as black men have in this country and you think there is no bias against women?
Define screwed over?

100 years ago screwed over or "my boss only asks the woman to get him coffee" screwed over?

Yep, thats about the size of it. I don't believe there is a bias. Not if what came before is called a bias. there are a few misogynists left. they are rare beasts. like unicorns. and virgins. and unicorn virgins.

Asshole, slut, and whore respectively. bitch is also used colloquilly to refer to the male gender. nice try there honcho. keep chuggin.

the culture is not gender biased. if you'd open your eyes you'd see no one except for a few give a fuck about it. just like race. and the longer you pull the discrimination card the longer you perpetuate the discrimination yourself.

Call it whatever you want. I don't give a damn. I hope you don't expect to reenter the job market making what those men who didn't take time off to "parent".

I don't like any woman who does nothing but play stay at home mom and then try to tell me how hard she has it (wah fucking wah). THEN when she does reenter the workforce, try to expect the same pay that those of us who didn't take time off work receive.

I do a tiny bit of contracting also. So I'll never be completely outside the job market but I'll always make decisions on my employment based on being a parent.

No... not at all. Just think that women who cry about not making as much as they "think" they should are ridiculous.

You take 5 years off.... well that is 5 years I have on you.

Women like that are an embarrassment for women in general. Wah wah wah.... I took 5 years off now I can't make what I used to. Wah wah wah... discrimination blah blah blah.

It's embarrassing and it makes women in general look bad.

I loathe women like that.

There are many. One recent incident underscores this:


Investigators say as many as 20 people were involved in or stood and watched the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl outside a California high school homecoming dance Saturday night.


Police: As many as 20 present at gang rape outside school dance - CNN.com

I thought you were talking about maternity leave.

I guess you're speaking about a very specific circumstance....

I am specifically talking about women who want to stay home for 5+ years. I am not talking about the 4-6 or so weeks that women take off for actually having a baby.
