Yeah, I know how you feel...

But seriously, that made sense. There's an inherent misogeny to most of the more literalistic Christian faiths, but I'm not sure that this is necessarily restricted to Cathololicism. While it's not something that is quite as common in Europe, in Australia and the US most of the more conservative and fundamentalist Christian sects tend to be protestant (i.e. pentacostal, evangelical, baptist, lutheran etc.) rather than Catholic. This is why I said it's nations that have any sort of conservative ethos (which would, generally, include Australia) that lack women in parliament, rather than merely Catholic ones.

I think that nordic countries are renowned for their social systems, and for many decades they have had an advanced level of gender equality, women are treated as individuals with needs and rights of their own, rather than as wives or mothers. They also have had for many decades a well developed support system for working mothers, creches and child minding facilities, that other countries in Europe do not have, and these are all public facilities that are guarenteed for every women if she decides to have children, so it is quite easy to see why nordic countries would have more women participating in the workforce in general and as a result a higher percentage of women involved in politics as well. Rather than as a result of other countries being catholic, but i would accept cultural differences as being a very real part of the problem.

Yea maybe we should just ignore them and hope they go away? Or failing that, lets just give ourselves far higher wages and hope they realise their lot in life!

Quit your bitching! You are just having a difficult time adjusting to the fact that women are more intelligent than men.

As well as adjusting to the fact that we tend to do more with our lives than sit online and bitch about how there's no men online.

Well most women don't care to talk politics, but they would never pass up an opporunity to talk about themselves.

Interesting you should say that, because this was on the front page of The Australian newspaper today:

quote:

Girls do better than boys Kate Legge, Social affairs writer May 17, 2005 GIRLS interact better than boys at a younger age than first thought and also learn to walk and talk earlier, according to a groundbreaking study that sheds new light on the development of Australian children from infancy through to school age. Data from a new survey of 10,000 children and their families shows that girls do better than boys on social, educational and physical milestones in the very first year of life - differences that become more pronounced by the time they reach school. The gender divide influences learning and academic competency, social and emotional skills and physical performance. [...] Boys lead girls in every measure of disengagement and psychological disorder from attention deficit syndromes to at-risk social behaviour. The latest neuro-imaging research has identified gender differences in brain maturation, with boys slower to develop impulse control and executive planning skills.

We're equal, but definitely not the same.

Perhaps these inherent neurological differences may explain why the sexes tend to be drawn to different pursuits...
