women in society have an easier time (way easier) They are somewhat like minorities and a certain quota is preferable for a company to have a decent ratio of race and sex.

Yes, and I love it. I can totally relate to most issues he's been talking about (both about religion and relationships), except for the fact that I'm not a Jew... and I've never been exorcised :p

Haha, the 4th episode was completely messed up! It's specially delightful if you speak some Japanese, both because of this scene and the next, when he makes out with a robot:
I should post a thread about my Safranic views tonight :p

How did i prove your point?
they get better treatment just for being who they are.
We don't want her to sue for sexism or sexual assault so lets just keep her instead of this bloke over here. (because you know women sometimes play that card)
Its the same with native americans in canada. They get special treatment ( i somewhat agree that they deserve it since their land was taken from them). They do not have to pay certain taxes or any taxes at all (if im not mistaken.) And they get to go to school for free.
I had this chick in my university class she was part native. She had a motorcycle and a car and only worked part time during the year. IT was obvious she was taking advantage of the tax break.. She never ever ever complained about being a minority.
So shut the up and go back to the kitchen if you don't like it.
I think women these days have it so much easier then men with respect to the work place and advancing and just life in general. If they are smart or whitty enough, Its easier for them to break through the glass cieling and attain at least middle to high income salaries.
It is also much easier for minorities to become police officers and hold government positions due to quotas as well.
I know several white people with perfect credentials that got pushed away for being police officers because they needed a higher minority count. Either the chinee guy or the 1 black guy got the positions. If it was a woman.. she would have probably got it too.

Apparently a large proportion of customers, including women and minorities, actually prefer to be served by white male employees and rate them as more competent for some reason, even in an experiment where employees were simply reading and acting from a script:
quote:
In the study, to be published in a future issue of The Academy of Management Journal, researchers divided 86 college students into three groups and showed each group one of three video clips of an employee-customer encounter in a bookstore. Everything was identical — script, setting and camera angles — except for the sales clerk’s identity: a white woman in one clip, a black man in another, a white man in the third. There were substantial numbers of women and nonwhites in each group, but the students rated the white man’s performance highest.
In a second test, some 12,000 patients in a health maintenance plan rated their doctors. The doctors’ H.M.O. rated performance with objective measures — for example, the number of health procedures the doctor discussed — but those bore no relation to the ratings from patients, with one exception. The number of follow-up e-mail messages doctors sent to patients increased their patient ratings, but only when the doctor was a white man.
“The findings suggest that the customer is always wrong,” said David R. Hekman, the lead author and an assistant professor of management at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. “Everyone — white, black, men, women — think the white man is more valuable. Someone needs to call customers out on their biases.”
So white guys certainly do have some advantages, even if hiring practices might be slightly skewed in favor of women and minorities these days.

oprah isn't too bad, just giving cars away to wealthy middle-class americans... very charitable :haha:
She gave away the cars to a handpicked audience that was doing it tough, not to the wealthy middle class, then there was a public outcry when they had to cover the tariffs and extra costs.
