We've been discussing gender based earning disparities previously.

However, all is not bleak.

There are a few occupations where we out earn men substantially.

Check all you think apply.

Oh please and have a little fun!

Peace!

Lingerie football is similar to runway modeling. Except, of course, the models are tackled less frequently.

LPGA is ladies professional golf association

Lingerie football is just a TV thing where I guess girls play

mock football in scanty clothing.

I've heard of it, but have yet to see it.

It may be a HBO thing, or even Fox.

LOL that reminds me of two guys watching women jelly wrestling.

The wife comes in and rolling her eyes says "Which one do you want to win?"

The husband replies "I couldn't care less, I just hope they can go the distance!"

LOL I know nothing about the EU tennis circuit. In fact you could write all I know about the uk tennis on the string of a racquet.

That's if you can squeeze in "Men earn more at Wimbledon, and that is our only premier competition."

I' not sure that doesn't include endorsements which are often more than their pro winnings,

You are kind of right Heather.

including that nude shot of Sharapova.

Not really a pay issue, but....

I read today that a woman who was unable to pass the physical portion of firefighting training will still be admitted to the NY fire department. Other women are currently fire fighters in NY and have successfully completed this physical test. But the city council decided to lower the standard now for women. Is lowering the standard a good decision?

Just teasing but should a male who says he identifies as a female still be held to the higher standard?

I know what the first question my husband would ask; is she hot? Pun intended.

This afects their lung capacity.
