That $.77 figure is one I consistently see coming up (in one case it was $.75). Right. It would be from 2010 statistics only measuring pay disparity. I'm not entirely sure where all the other numbers come from. I think some of them are based on more local numbers, and some of them are coming from e...

If you had any sense you'd be embarrassed for asking such a foolish question. I mean, you are literate (I assume), you have access to the Internet, there are numerous books about philosophy of religion available at no cost and you, using the screen name "philosophy explorer," have the min...

That a woman gets paid $.77 on the dollar that a man gets paid ...No. Not like you would think, anyway. That particular estimate of the 'gender pay gap' is an overly simplistic one which compares the median income between men and women. It does not account for things like job differences or qualifi...

Don't recall reading about women being brutish in history, You probably don't recall hearing much about women in history; Their roles in society only changed relatively recent on a historical timescale. Those roles didn't allow much for contribution, but it also didn't allow much for the negative t...

Only you can actually live your life and so logically it has to yours and not anyone elses

Do not the farm and laboratory animals live for the pleasure of humans? For humans then, is the reason it's said we own our lives is due to our level of intelligence?

What entitles us to say this? Each of us have parents who created us who would more justifiably own our lives than we do ourselves. Aside from legislation, I know of nothing that gives me ownership of my own life.

Many many things to consider. How long should people live for? Should there be a standard style of dressing? How smart should people be? How much variation from one person to the next? Can we trust scientists to regulate the weather? Should we have a world government? What do we do about the world p...
