No. She's really nice. We just don't get along very well.

Maybe I should rethink my label for you.

Got it.

You're a stupid, race-baiting piece of shit.

TM - You are just angry at the fact that I brought up a controversial but very real topic that you don't like to think about because of the way it makes you feel. You are transferring your own anger at yourself to me. But if it is therapeutic for you to hurl what you feel are insults at me, go right ahead. I am here for you.

Oh, then she's for sure not my mom. My mom was only nice to "company."

This is a statistic I've never understood, and one that I suspect incorrectly defines "in the same jobs."

Can anyone identify women and men with differential incomes who are really in the same jobs, doing the same thing with the same value? Don't respond "the male GPs make more than the female GPs at my firm" unless you have a basis to show that those compensation differences are not merited by rainmaking, work, seniority, or other valid factors.

Good lord. The world? Let's leave aside western society for a second. Ever heard of the Taliban? Clitoridectomy? Good. Now shut the fuck up.

I make a joke about my wife and my MIL openly planning my life for me, and I get the fucking Taliban thrown back at me? Lighten up, huh?

I am not following this conversation at all, (except to note that you all suck and you're all wrong wrong wrong!!!), but this is bullshit (unless you are being sarcastic, which I don't think you are). There is zero, zip, nada bond with me and my mother. Our relationship is labored at best. We make a huge effort but she may as well be from the planet earth (I'm from the planet Zercon). My dad and I on the other hand, have always been exactly simpatico. We don't even have to talk and the other one gets it. He understands me better than anyone on earth (or Zercon). That's a special bond and that's the way it's always been.

You're making my argument. I think what is spoon fed to men is that women get to choose who stays home because of the bond created between a mother and child during pregnancy. I think it's a crock and don't believe they have an advantage in the bonding department. I was being sarcastic.

This is anecdotal, but my sister was employed as an accountant at a law firm in a major city in the US. A guy was hired at the exact same time she was. Same position. She was better qualified (more education, more work experience). She found out that he made $10,000 more than she. She inquired as to why and was told that he made more because he had a family to support (she was single at the time).

Oh, sure. Next you're going to tell her to shut up and go back to the kitchen.

You are unconsciouly mad at your mother for not protecting you from your father's sexual advances, yet, since he was your first, you are unconciously romaticizing your relationship with him. Seek help quickly.

You are patentgreedy. Slave, please confirm.

Edited to add: Thrashers Fan said it here more succinctly (pithly?) and without the outrage -- which I wish I could have done. Oh well.

YAY ME! :partytime :sportswav

Did I spoil it?

And where can I find a guy who buys into that stuff you said? I always get stuck with guys who like the status symbol of a wife who is a sugar-momma and measure their dick size by the wife's paycheck rather than their own -- but I still get to do all of the scut work at home. Those fuckers.
