The Vagina Linkalogues
This, from link within the piece, is disgusting: U of Melbourne "has taken the extraordinary step of opening up jobs to female applicants only" for School of Mathematics & Stats

How awful to get your job as a result of your vagina &to have it widely known https://t.co/SJYdprNMgR https://t.co/3F2eFSERNz








I work in the financial sector. It's interesting that my employer mostly promotes based on merit, regardless of gender. I say mostly because there are some people who have jobs based on who they know, but no one is ever hired or promoted on the basis of their genitalia. The other interesting part, however, is that our HR department, which includes 15-20 people, is comprised completely of women. I understand this is true pretty much everywhere. It's unclear to me why that might be the case.

It's OK. Men can just opposite sex cosplay ("transgender") and qualify for the "job".

Terrifying robot surgeon will never come to work hung over, angry, drugged, distracted, or feeling a little nauseous after eating that Kwikee-Mart microwave breakfast burrito.
Just relax and let the blades do their work.

I know that as a Christian, I'm not supposed to be glad that Jeffrey Epstein is dead, but what the heck, I'm glad he's dead.

The dude that is foregoing promotion seems to have a major case of "white man's burden". I was assured that's racist? is that wrong? I don't want to be guilty of wrong-think.

Epstein didn't kill himself.

IRA, I think that this White "man" is one of the new American castrati and one reason why many White women either date outside of their race/ethnicity or date foreign men.
In the meantime, I present to you all: #FloridaJudge

It isn't going to work.
Women's work seems to be paid less universally. So if you're a woman going into a mostly male field, you will be well paid because you're perceived as doing men's work. But if a critical mass of women enter the field, salary goes down.
If University of Melbourne is worried about gender inequality in status and earning, my guess (and it is conjecture, I'm not going to go look up the salaries of every field) is they'd be better off looking at how much the women they already have working for them in various positions are paid, and compensating them more.
If "women's work" paid more, more men would enter those fields. If more men entered those fields, more women would be hired to fill the roles they left.
Stop trying to move women around in order to grant them status, grant them status where they already are.

It is amazing how the ExIm keeps coming back. I get that it isn't a lot of money in the context of the federal budget. But it is an act of pure cronyism gifting taxpayer dollars to the most politically connected companies. It should be shut down just on the moral issues.
