Sounds like "the issues" for women, are womens choices. 

We could nullify those, like they do in Saudi Arabia, but would anybody like that?

My grandparents are going just fine in retirement, and they worked before there even was such a thing as compulsory super. 

Do you want to know their secret?



honky   .. they get the pension anyone who gets the aged pension is doing OK>..well if you own your own home of course that helps...

however with superfunding  it is all down to how much you put in and the employer puts in..

women are behind the 8 ball just getting pregnant   if she has a sickly child  shes gone for a few years maybe...NOTHING GOING INTO SUPER.

same with pay anomaly...she earns less so everything  that goes to super is less....

when she retires  she has less to live on as if it costs less to feed and clothe a female....

give us a break honky....we are talking about the future..   for women...

I can only believe there has to be a system where the govt has a separate superfund in the name of all females  where a certain amount is paid in  every two weeks.. until they retire....this money would be for no other reason..... if a women  gets to the point where she is earning the same as her male equivalent .. then the govt  money stops   but she is still entitled to what has gone in before she got equality...

either that or women stop getting pregnant ....gotta keep working if they want a decent living after they retire... Roll Eyes


some good points you make there


.. apart from the current reality that most people - men and women - cop breaks in earnings these days under our rather gloomy 'industrial relations and economy' network ... like all the other issues (and the non-issues) around super - wait for the 50th anniversary of the introduction of mandatory super and let's see the wash-up....

Only fools start jumping up and down when it's just reached the half-way mark and start screeching that impending pension payments are a disaster waiting to happen and some people are not getting their full share...

MOST people are not getting their full share these days in many ways - and it ain't just women.

Do I look like I'm sucking down a martini in the country club to you?

ADDS:-  The concept of a national scheme with guarantees has merit and should be explored, methinks... and such a scheme should be isolated from the grasping hands of politicians and their scheming cronies, since such a nest egg would be too risky to leave anywhere near them.

What part of - "You cannot take into account negotiated salaries, provided nobody is paid less than the minimum for the same job and level."...  do you, and in this case the ABC, NOT understand? 
I understand what you are blabbering on about. But, as per usual, you are wrong.
Quote:
A recent study from Cass Business School, the University of Warwick and the University of Wisconsin shows that women ask for wage rises just as often as men but men are 25% more likely to get a raise when they ask. The study collected data from 4,600 Australian workers across more than 800 employers and found no difference in the likelihood of asking between the two genders.

So, to summarise, men get raises more often than women, resulting in higher wages, resulting in more super. Do you understand that?
Quote:
At that level of income the effect is meaningless for the vast majority of people, and meaningless in saying a woman will be paid less super since her super in that position is already far above what most could gain.... her super will reflect what she earns and will still far out-strip that of the vast majority of people.


What on earth are you talking about. This is some stream of consciousness word salad type drivel. Just because a female gets the highest wage bracket and earns more than most people doesnt mean she doesnt suffer from discrimination. It just means she has overcome it.

Quote:
You reckon that any differences are all about 'discrimination?Do you ever say that when a woman cops a sweet CEO job?  Do you reckon she's only got it from the same people because of discrimination? 
No, I reckon she has got there despite discrimination, not because of it. Again, there are more dudes called Steve who are ceos than there are female ceos.

Quote:
I'll bet you don't!  And you'd never admit that she might have got that job because to not give it to woman meant copping vitriol and condemnation....
Thats because its patently not true. If it were true, there would be more women ceos than ceos called Steve, but there aren't.

Quote:
which is another form of discrimination and is nothing but Bolshevism from a small and loud-voiced group intent on pure self-interest.

Pointing out that you are being discriminatory does not mean you are being discriminated against.

Quote:
NONE of the people ranting about poor little rich girls not having as much super gives one damn about the ordinary woman going to work in a menial job

Again, patently not true and simply a delusion brought on by PTSD.

Quote:
she's just cannon fodder
- and in case you missed that point, too - MY interest is always in the REAL under-dogs -
Again, patently not true, otherwise you wouldnt have kicked up such a fuss over the fact that women are discriminated against.

Quote:
not the poor little fat cat chicks with enough already, who only know how to whine that they should have the whole pie.

I assume you are this derogatory towards the male fats cats too. Seeing as there so are many more of them. Oh wait, you aren't? Colour me amazed.

Quote:
Talk about the blind....

Chortling IRL

Quote:
NOBODY is entitled to a top job.. you earn it in a thousand ways.... and handing those around on political grounds is insanity and failure in waiting....

I can guarantee you 110% that if a woman makes to to CEO level she has earnt it 100 times over. Same for any board level position. You simply have no concept of what a woman goes through the higher up the chain she gets.

Quote:
WOW!  1 to 5% - that means she probably gets paid ONLY $300,000 instead of $310,0000 - if that!  Those are NEGOTIATED SALARIES dependent on many factors.... including performance, client base, and how THEY perform ...

And its still discriminatory.
Quote:
Who actually gives a fat damn about hot-shot accounting firms?  For every one of those fat cat chicks there are thousands of ordinary girls out there, and plenty of ordinary guys as well - who would love a decent job with decent income.
Im guessing the people who work there care. So do the people studying accounting at school/uni. Seeing as there are many many many many many more fat cat guys why dont you rant and rave about them?

I do like how you moved the goalposts though. You asked for a case of discrimination, then you dismissed the example. Its a classic tactic of obfuscation and is ultimately a sign that you cant win the argument, so you keep changing the terms of the argument.

Quote:
Talk about 'feminism' being middle class... never risen above that gutter yet, has it?

No, feminism effects everyone. You are the first person I have heard of to call it middle class, and honestly, the only time I take any attention of the point you are trying to make is so that I can assume the opposite to be true. Usually that makes me right. I like being right. You should try it some time.

Men generally do the hiring and firing once you get to board level. Men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of domestic violence. Men are the cause of this problem. Men can be the solution. Given the course of this thread, im not holding my breathe.

Hoist on his own petard.... and clearly locked into some mythical ideology of oppression... he wouldn't know what real oppression and hardship is, and nor would these lovelies spouting this garbage - never missed a meal in their life and think they are 'entitled' to anything they demand - but then, greg - you reckon Muslims are oppressed here in Oz, too..... maybe they oughta try the Old Country where they'd likely be stood against a wall and shot....


NO TRUE SCOTSMAN.

You are wrong. Again. Stop being wrong. Just because there are buggered up situations happening overseas, does not detract from the discrimination that is happening in our country. I can garanutee you again, 100% that some women who complain about this have missed meals. One of the fastest growing homeless cohorts is older females, because they generally dont have enough money to buy a house, they get discriminated against in workplace situations which means less super to live on, newstart is below poverty levels and buggerheads like you insist everything is alright and its their fault anyway.

Quote:
The victimhood industry is definitely middle class and has no reference to reality for the masses.... it seems the only hope does lie with the proles....

Nope, wrong again.

Quote:
donincognito is as 'socialist left' as the Chinese Red Guards.... who (in my eyes unfortunately) drifted from seeking true justice and equality to Fascist style violence and intimidation.... equally unfortunately you often fit the same bill..... 
(yeah - I did the Chinese Embassy job)....

yawn

Quote:
Trouble with that kind is they have no real idea of what they are..... and assume they are filled with God's righteousness in their cause... when the truth is they are doing Devil's work....

So you think that promoting the idea that women should be treated equally to men is the devils work.

Honestly, medicare will cover the therapy. It will help you out, I promise.

Quote:
Perhaps he should look at women needing to change their attitudes towards men.... that might help.... a bi-partisan approach often does help...... without all the blood on the floor....

Friend, I await the glorious revolution with bated breathe because you and yours will be first against the wall. Blaming women for their situation is textbook victim blaming and I cant wait for the day you get whats coming.

Do away with super!

I believe we are one of only two countries in the world with compulsory super . Simply stop stealing a % of our wages and forcing us to invest it in corrupt super companies.

You have complete control over your money and what to do with it. If you dont like what your superfund is doing with your superannuation, move it away from them. There are plenty of ethical investment companies that show good returns and run as not for profits.

Quote:
The money I earn should be mine to do as I like with

It is. Exercise your rights. Do what you want with the money, as long as you have some left for retirement.

Quote:
....not used to fund some dodgy pension funds board of directors via fees and charges and insurance I can never use premiums .

I agree completely.

Quote:
Super is a failure...it doesn't work. Give people the freedom of choice to contribute or if the government makes it compulsory they should back it and guarantee every dollar invested is returned.

No, it works, really well.

Needs to run a full cycle. Its only 25 years since compulsory super was introduced here so many have not contributed over their total working life.

Talk about the blind - I've posted several times today and yesterday about the mandatory super system being allowed to run a 'lifetime' of fifty years before people like the LNP start whining about how much pensions are costing and women and their running dogs whining about how women are hard done by in super.

The way this nation is going, they're lucky to have any super....

It seems you are simply incapable of reading English, and you are not alone on this forum at this time.

You may read back over my posts over the last two days at your leisure... I'm not here to stroke your ego.... do that for yourself and prove yourself wrong.

Look down the page, duckhead - you yourself asked me what the 50 year life thing was... now you reckon I've never mentioned the 50 year mandatory super lifetime???

You keep up this insanity and I will break my rule and call in the tommy knockers on you for spite and stirring shite....  you seriously stepped out of line this time, duckhead.

You're one of them boy luvvahs, ain't you?  Well - your personal rubbish directed at me has pushed me to a NO vote on gay marriage....  who wants people with your kind of issues holding unequal rights?

And not once did you explain how you came to that figure. You should know by now that I dont trust whatever blabber you are on about at any given time. All you had to do was say something along the lines of "the system should run a life time of 50 years, because thats the average length of time spent in the workforce", but you didnt. You just assumed that everyone would believe everything you say, but guess what. You were wrong.

WHy on earth would I subject myself to that brain numbing act of self flagellation. Once is enough thanks,

You mentioned it. You never explained it. There is a difference.

Big talk from a small man. You arent going to do poo, and you know it, so quit with the theatrics. You arent good at it and it makes you look sad and pathetic, even more so than usual.

Its amazing how wrong you can be in just three sentences. Seriously impressive stuff here.

(1) Im not gay.
(2) Even if I was, there is nothing wrong with that.
(3) Your own biases and character flaws (you can take your pick, there are plenty to go round) make you vote against gay marriage, dont blame your failings as a moral human being on some random from the internet.
(4) Not to say im not without issues, after all, here i am beating my head against the brick wall of your idiocy, but im a straight white dude. I have more rights in this country than a lot of people.
(5) Gay marriage is not unequal rights. Gay marriage is equal rights. Unequal rights would be something like not paying taxes, you know, like the church.

Hows that appointment going? Got it booked in yet?

Glad to see you agree that the situation is crap and should be fixed.



Wrong.

So many variables here as to why their super balance may be less.

But it's not because of pay rate discrepancies or gender bias (towards males) in the workplace.

That is a total fabrication ... an unmitigated lie.

Didn't think you would.


Ok, so one of the issues is that women are often forced to choose between raising a family and progressing their career, because their (usually male) managers often dont want to hire someone to cover the maternity leave period, and so simply replace the pregnant worker, setting back her career prospects. Plus, when they are ready to re enter the workforce, it is usually at reduced hours because they want to spend time with their baby and many higher paid jobs supposedly require full time work. This can easily be fixed by getting the (usually male) managers to rethink and revalue female workers.

Domestic violence is another problem that hinders women, because often their job suffers when they are getting the poo beaten out of them, and rather than showing compassion, their (usually male) managers get rid of them, further increasing their dependency on their abuser

The gender pay gap is another problem, and there is a lovely thread going on about that right now if you would like to join in.

So the solution remains the same. Fix mens attitudes towards women, and these problems will go away.




What a crock of shyte. They are not "forced" at all.

Everything they do is a choice.... just like everyone else.

Aside from making men ... women ... & being the ones that bare children ....

which no doubt would be your choice in equalising the inequalities you waffle about.  Roll Eyes

It's gone way past equalisation ..... 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

And deluded progressive fools like you can't see your arze for your elbow in your hypocrisy.

Wait until the 'lifetime' of affirmative action and super comes to fruition, and all the sheilas who've enjoyed the sweet ride and affirmative action in higher education, in public service jobs, hospital jobs and banking etc start to retire.  It's been forty odd years of AA now, plenty of time for the girls to accumulate super - all they need to do is wait another ten years or so until retirement age and they'll retire fattened to the max.... while many men will still live under the bridges or on pension alone.


You are a disturbed individual and I honestly suggest you get some proper help from an actual psychologist/therapist. You can get 10 or so sessions covered on medicare. They will do you the world of good.


No .... Should be seen & not heard

you're the disturbed individual.

And I wouldn't give a rats arze if you got help from a Psychologist or therapist.

Your problem can't be fixed.
