"Brussels - Men must take on more household chores for their pay differential over women to disappear, the European Union's employment chief said on Wednesday in an appeal to all males in the bloc.
The European Commission said in a report that women in the 27-nation EU earned 15 percent less than men, measured by gross hourly wages, against 17 percent in 1995, showing little progress on indirect sexual discrimination in the job market."
A better solution- bloody run our economies properly and stop wasting money on government spending (especially immigrant welfare and bullshite EU bureaucracy and travel junkets) raising inflation and allow us to survive without the NECESSITY of dual incomes?
Your thoughts? Typical Frankish limp-wristed socialism?

Put like that women suffer an injustice, but one thing I have leaned ever since I took a course in statistics (most of which I have forgotten) is that different conclusions can be drawn from the same statistics. Perhaps it may be as well to delve deeper in for the reasons why.it may come as a surprise to many of us, although I do not know who will get the nastier surprise

Why is it "effeminate"?
Ask yourself this: If you made 15% less than a woman just because you are a man, would you still have posted this?
What would you think if women moaned because they had to be aware that you couldn't afford to feed your family because you are a man and therefore must earn 15% less?
Also, keep in mind that you would be holding the household alone because the woman in your life most likely - if statistics (which are often grossly misrepresented) are to be believed - would have run off and announced that having a child is "your problem".
And you also didn't realise that referring to a person or anything as effeminate is a compliment.
