Don't Forget: Tomorrow, March 8 is Women's Day in Poland! [115]
Tell that to my mum.
Once again, you do know what an anecdote is - don't you? I can also give examples which do not represent the average. I've even coined my research; "Fuller Facts".
Come on, that's still quite rare. Exceptions as you'd say.
You really should do some concrete research instead of going with your'e 'feelings'. You'd be surprised how often 'feelings' are wrong. There are about 40 fields where women have a pay advantage. In modeling, women make about five times more than men do for the same job. Other areas where women out earn men include: engineering because women are sought after to fill company quotas. I've included a list which should broaden your knowledge::

Extensive indeed. I can find you another study that will back my view. But I'm probably too young/stupid/narrow-minded, etc. anyway.
You don't look very hard at evidence, do you? The Fiebert studies
csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm
aren't just one study but a compilation of 221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, all done separately and almost always by different academic professionals. They were done neutrally and without bias. The researchers wanted to get the real facts and not those thrown out by agenda driven groups. Virtually all of them come to the same conclusion that in domestic scenarios, women assault men as often as men assault women, sometimes more so. That's because in personal situations there is a dynamic which is emotional. Additionally, women know they can get away with assault easier than men. That is also backed up statistically.
The fact that you seem unaware that this is not merely one study but a massive combination of research does unfortunately, show you to be rather shallow.
You won't change my mind on women's condition IN THE WORLD (btw), not just in Europe and America.
You seem unaware of the advantages that western women have. As to the rest of the world, it is tragic that so many women are treated no better than cattle.
men don't have to worry so much about their looks, they're not as scrutinized in this respect as women are. You have it easier.
That's true, of course women often overdue it themselves with ridiculous make-up and clothes. After all, who buys those dozens of 'womens magazines' which feature dubious self improvements. Of course men have their own devils to fight. While women (in general) are looked upon as sex objects,
don't forget that men are often seen as security objects. Very few men marry up compared with women who do. A male CEO will marry an airline stewardess, no top female executives I know have married a car mechanic.
don't tell me men are as interested in fashion as women lol
I won't because we are not nor should men be as pathologically consumed by fashion apparel as women are. This alone answers your previous question about womens concern for looks. Women do it to themselves.
In Polish TV commercials .....
It is strikingly different in the U.S. Men in commercials are depicted as idiots, bumbling and it's women who set them straight (frequently with their arms crossed). I am not exaggerating when I tell you that there have been hundreds (probably thousands) of television commercials where only the man is the dummy, goof, fool, idiot, etc. squidoo.com/stop-the-male-bashing
It is "politically incorrect" to portray women the same way men are in advertising, it isn't even close.
ZIMMY, you should really, really take a trip outside of the US (at least mentally). The world doesn't end on the United States of America.
I've been to 46 countries, thank you for assuming wrongly.
