When fair comparisons are made, the wage-gap is close to non-existent. There are a few cents difference, but it's not much.

But it doesn't. It also fails to investigate why women are more likely to take part-time jobs or work in lower paying fields. This might be tied to discrimination. It might not be.

I didn't read the report either but I've read other reports on the subject. It seems women tend to do part time work more than men as they choose to have families and raise children (there is also the matter of there being more single parent females than males). In college, women have a tendency to study for lower paying fields, such as the Economics/sociology comparison I made earlier. Both subjects are lumped together under 'Social Sciences" by the AAUW, yet Economics majors (2/3 male) earn 70k/year, while Sociology majors (2/3 female) earn 40k/year. Why are these two groups being compared?

Also, as a note, the report that says the wage-gap has closed to a few cents is written by the AAUW themselves. They maintain that the wage gap is still extremely prevalent, while publishing research which contradicts themselves.

So you're saying equality can only be achieved when part time workers and people in lower paying fields can earn as much as full time workers and people in higher paying fields. That's not equality, it's the exact opposite.

You're being disingenuous. Those factors don't account for all (and probably not even most) of the disparity. If they did, controlling for these factors should cause the gap to disappear. But it doesn't. It also fails to investigate (unless I missed it, but you can't seriously expect me to read the entire 95 page report) why women are more likely to take part-time jobs or work in lower paying fields. This might be tied to discrimination. It might not be.

I would also like to point out once again that even if there weren't a wage gap, we're still only talking about a very small part of the larger issue.
I do find gate camps annoying however instead of rage quitting counter it I found this article somewhat useful
How to escape gate camps wouldn't you agree?

To keep this somewhat Eve relevant, I find the whole "all females are males" thing extremely annoying. I can't just say "I'm a woman playing Eve". I'm expected to go out of my way to verify my gender, else I'm just assumed to be Guy In Real Life. Flipside, guys get really, really pissed off when you do the inverse, and just assume them to be female unless proven otherwise.


I have long since ceased to care if some random fellow or fellows on a video game or forum or any other electronic media believe I am a woman or not. if someone asks for my gender, i'll provide that information. what they do with it in their minds from there is totally on them. matters not to me one bit. just because so and so from such and such game doesn't believe when I tell them doesn't mean I magically grow a *****.

however, not to give too much credit to doubters...if I saw someone named lady areola fappington claiming to be a woman even someone as easy going and uncaring about such things as myself might raise an eyebrow. Lol

Thank you for keeping it Eve relevent

I don't doubt the importance of her feedback, but what do you intend to do with it? Why do you think preventing this type of behaviour is necessary?

Good questions. I don't doubt her importance in her feedback why would I?I don't intent to exploit if that what your implying . my angle and true intentions is to help all new player base to grow to be aware and better counter the negative darker aspects of the gaming community as a whole so veterans and new players alike can have a better gaming environment that is not toxic. yes this behavior needs to change for sake of our children and future gamers.

Eve is supposed to be a toxic gaming environment. It's an important part of how the game works. There is already an EULA in place which prevents that kind of behaviour from getting out of control, no further measures are required.

if it's a toxic environment then that's because the players chose it to be that way, because they are free to. that doesn't mean it's supposed to be that way.

i mean sure you can scam, gank and awox everyone at the slightest opportunity,.

or not. you could just go for 'gf's.

I stole three T3s, all the uniques and pretty much all the items from a player who had sold his car for rent and was keeping his account going on the spare change he'd left over because his life was so poor and awful, EvE was the only thing he enjoyed.

I considered it a mercy killing.
