Executive Women Choose Flexibility Over Pay

	posted by Scott on Friday July 20, @06:05AM from the wage-gap dept.
	BusterB writes "As reported in the National Post of Canada, "A survey of 350 female executives in Canada revealed that an overwhelming majority prefer incentives that allow them to attain balance in their lives...." This article outlines how women executives—the positions that feminists are always whining that women have trouble attaining—prefer job flexibility such as a four-day work week over more pay. The problem for feminism, of course, is that this kind of survey puts a lie to their claim that when women are paid less than men for the same job, it's because of discrimination."

Questionable source. (Score:1) by RockGod53 on Friday July 20, @04:55PM EST (#1) (User #220 Info) I was told by someone currently living in Canada that the National Post isn't really what people consider high quality. She said that it's extremely right-wing. I don't really know anything about the paper other than what she told me.

Re:Questionable source. (Score:1) by BusterB on Friday July 20, @06:06PM EST (#2) (User #94 Info) http://themenscenter.com/busterb/ I live in Canada. The National Post is reasonably respectable, unless... ... one happens to be a left-wing liberal. The National Post was established by its owner by fiat. He created the paper, set the editorial tone, and told the writers and editors that it would be a right-wing paper. Personally, I applauded the move: all of our other papers, including the only national paper at the time, were universally and unabashedly liberal. They all published the same opinions on the same stories, and omitted the same stories. I was happy for another point of view, and it's not "radically" right-wing, either. I imagine that it's what Americans have taken for granted for years; we just didn't have it up here. The left-wingers and liberals in Canada have quite naturally painted the National Post as some sort of kook paper run by an autocrat. It's nothing of the kind. ... you put a lot of emphasis on the fact that from time to time the National Post is a bit too quick off the mark with rumours and political insider stories. I find it irksome that they're so quick to print stories about what our politicians are planning and what scandals are on the horizon without thoroughly checking their sources first. As a source of information about what's going on in Ottawa, I find that the National Post is hit-and-miss. Certainly the other papers are slower to print stories and so make fewer mistakes, but then the other papers are loathe to criticize the current (Liberal) government, so what they make up for in accuracy they lose in editorial policy. Nonetheless, this certainly doesn't impair in any way the Post's ability to report (with a right-wing slant) on government reports and research papers. The bottom line is that if there is a research paper that threatens any feminist dogma, likely the National Post are the only ones who will write about it, or the only ones who will present it as credible research rather than sending a feminist writer to cover it and tear it apart. Our only other national newspaper, the Globe and Mail, normally just ignores such reports, preferring to cover things that bolster the feminist cause... and don't get me started about the local papers, all owned by the same company and practically indistinguishable. Bleah!
