I just heard on the news that women in my age group make on average 8% more than men. If this the case why can't I get a free dinner from one of them when we go out?

Cause they got the poo-tang.
(That's probably the reason they make more than you do too.)
Nope, the reason for that is that they have greater educational attainment. US colleges are 57% female now, hadn't you heard?Quote:

Most polls and studies reported on the news are also absolute crap.
Women in your age group are also women who make you you sammiches. This is where the extra 8% of work comes from.Quote:

But if this was a dude, they'd just get a certificate or letter of appreciation. And I've had to fight for the letters of appreciation's for the taskings I have done. Meh.
I saw a (rather obtuse) female a couple of years ago that had a Bronze Star at this detail where we had to wear full service uniform so I was able to tell, and I believe she was finance or some desk job - not dissing as my job is a desk job but I don't think I saw any expeditionary medals signifying a deployment. But yeah, I've seen lower ranking females with rather high decorations... But then again, the Bronze Star example is a weak one, sorry as this is a whole other issue not so related to gender.
In the words of one of my math professors, "There are three kinds of lies. Lies, damn lies, and statistics."Quote:
