'In 27 developed countries, women’s jobs are not just lower paid than men’s, but they also offer less flexibility and fewer advancement opportunities while inducing more stress, according to a new study from SAGE and the British Sociological Association.

The researchers, Professor Haya Stier of Tel Aviv University and Professor Meir Yaish of the University of Haifa, looked at survey data from 8,500 working men and 9,000 women in a wide swath of countries, including the United States. They found that on a scale of one to five, men’s answers were 8 percent more positive than women’s when it came to their income and their opportunities for promotion.

Men were also much more likely to report flexibility and independence: they scored 15 percent higher when it came to whether their employers decide start and end times, how their schedule is organized, and whether they can take time off, and they scored 2 percent higher in terms of how independently they can work, their ability to improve their skills, and how interesting their work is. Meanwhile, they scored 5 percent lower than women when it came to stress levels. They also report more job security.'

The report also went on to say that the sun rose has been rising in the west for the past ten years and that this fact has been willfully ignored by the media because it may be considered controversial, and also demonstrates the entrenched anti-solar biases of society. Something must be done about it.

"men’s answers were 8 percent more positive"
Conclusion? Women more likely to complain and to feel entitled. Men just do the job (however shitty), take the money, and go home.
