Special rights for certain groups in Canada

yeah they just whine for hours that they didn't get any of the regular Sunday morning waffles.
Men and women cut each other up for different reasons, but I can't say I've noticed any real difference in frequency or severity. What I HAVE noticed though is that men working in groups can usually get a job done even if they don't like each other much, as long as everybody pulls his weight, women seem to need to like each other before they can form an effective work group. Purely anecdotal, I immediately concede, but I've seen it so often, in so many places, from temporary project teams to permanent work groups to teenage girls on a baseball team, I can't avoid thinking there's some substance to it.
My point was superficial posturing is as much a part of the male persona as the female one, that we may or may not tend to do so in different ways, doesn't change that.
Lol, guys are always so darned concerned about each others ***** size.
It's an entitlement of sorts, isn't it?... I mean, the more I think about it, the more I think that I'm being discriminated against here.
That's it, I'm calling my lawyer!
Funny... Just because I observe (past and present tense) this equates to some kind of male justification?
Sounds to me like you don't like hearing an opinion that isn't parallel to yours
What I meant was that it seems men tend to feel other men are justified in their anger/cattiness, but women aren't. Not that you're trying to justify males on the whole.
what do you think the women are trying to establish? It's the same thing, focusing on different aspects.
Sure it is, it would be foolish to think otherwise.
From what I have seen though, the degree and manner in which this dynamic is expressed is vastly different between the sexes and quite frankly, what I have seen of this dynamic with men, while possibly equally frequent, the event occurs, the bitching happens and then it's done... Time to move on.
The cycle seems to be a lot different with women and last a lot longer and go back aeons when necessary.
Fair enough; I interpreted your comments incorrectly.
To be clear, I'm not saying that men don't bitch and complain and that only women do. I believe that the dymanic or manner in which it is expressed is very different and has different impacts and consequences
Could it be, some of these "Special" groups in Canada simply have more Gov. Money than they actually know what to do with?..Spending too on media advertising, not enough on achieving results/measuring progress ?
The one that's more willing to work for less pay.
Ah, but the female with Arts may be willing to stay and improve the business for mutual benefit. Some pretty damned artistic cookies, cakes, etc. being made around the world. Seriously.
That's for damned sure. Try spending four days on duty in a firehouse that's mostly fulla guys.

One from Edmonton, cook, pastry had hers in the Oscars swag bag.
Then just what do you call practical experience in formal education when learning how to use calipers, oscilliscopes, etc.? If you haven't been formally educated in applied physics, you'd most likely not have a clue in a practical job requiring said applied physics. DUH
Well, the stereotype women are fighting is the idea that they are the weaker sex and they need protecting. Quotas are doing the opposite of helping that. I would also argue that victim perspective defined sexual harassment definitions perpetuate the glass ceiling much more than any outright sexism could ever hope to.
This is the single most annoying thing about mistaken radical feminism: the idea that men and women are treated different and only men are to blame for inequality. The single worst part of systemic sexism is that women are just as likely to purvey it as men are, that is what makes it systemic.
I'm sorry, if your shoes look like **** then you look like ****. Yes, I tell my colleagues when I think they have a funny looking outfit on, but I am probably the exception that proves the rule.
The content of the drama is irrelevant. Men and women simply have different issues to be dramatic about.
lol It's just the boys n girls being drama queens, Andem.
Like the Hatfields n McCoys? Hatfield
huh?
You got me there.. Why I can remember more than a few times where one of the guys comes off the rig into the drillers office with oil and mud all over his steel toes (probably scuffed-up too) and we harangued him 'til he cried.
It was vicious
You're right, the subject/content is irrelevant, but what is markedly different is the dynamic that exists and how long the issue remains in the minds (and comments) of people, let alone how long the 'drama' is dragged-out
Exactly! It's no different than someone who is a part of a minority group making a claim of discrimination or racism where none exists, aka pulling the "race card". It demeans those instances where true discrimination and racism exist and it contributes to the continued existence of it by discrediting the accomplishments, the instances where other members of the same group, have broken through.
