Well I’m teaching a class of adult students and one of the female students who has a beautiful figure and big gorgeous breasts comes into class wearing tight skimpy tops and tight pants which emphasize her breasts and her figure. She often asks me over to her desk with a question. And she gave me a present. She’s friendly to me and comes up to my desk to ask something . She must know that it really turns me on. Or is she just being friendly – I don’t know why she dresses like that in my class. I’ve been very helpful and nice to her with her English studies but I want to focus on her brains rather than her boobs but shes making it difficult for me to concentrate. Ladies what do you think?

I used to work in this place where there was a woman with huge lovely breasts – who worked at the desk opposite me – sometimes she would thrust out her boobs in fullview of me when stretching herself- but i tried to keep my eyes on my work and not to be distracted – i felt embarrassed to oogle – i didnt have a problem with not staring

In the US, an amendment to the US Constitution was proposed quite some time ago called “The Equal Rights Amendment”. The way the laws are SUPPOSED to work in the US is that everything ‘flows’ from the Constitution.
This proposed amendment has yet to be ratified by enough States for passage by the US Congress.
When first proposed, the ‘social concern’ was that women would stop wearing any sort of restrictive undergarments. Now, we have a male complaining about push-up bras making his workday more difficult.
Perhaps, someday, (I am only 46 and LIVE in HOPE FOR THE FUTURE), the US will actually start ACTING like a ‘world leader’
Instead of just telling everyone one that we are, so that they agree, to shut us up.
Before I come clean up YOUR house, I have my own to take care of, World.

I am a man-and I do think women have the right to wear what they want at the workplace, I do believe in equality between the sexes, but some women do use their sexuality to their advantage at work. some women deliberately dress sexy to distract men at work – they enjoy using that power they have and now that men are even afraid to stare or make any comment about it because of sexual harassment laws women nowadays are free to wear whatever they want in the office and that is why much more women now are showing more cleavage, tight blouses, push up bras – they are flaunting it – - what am I supposed to do when all around me are flashing cleavages, bouncing breasts, skimpy tops, I get horny, I cant help it, it arouses sexual thoughts in me and it distracts me from my work. I try hard not to stare because I know women would’t’t’t like that but its hard,- Ladies is this fair what you are doing to men? Tell me what you think

While I’m willing to concede that it’s theoretically possible that Larry Summers may have a leg to stand on, he doesn’t really back up any of his hypotheses with adequate testing.

The truth is that unless you properly control for other variables, you can’t pinpoint one thing as the primary factor involved in a particular result. Since Summers hasn’t controlled for socialization, then he can’t rightly attribute the gender disparity in math and science to other factors.

The only solution is to fight socialization to the core. Do everything you can (and I doubt Summers does) to encourage women in the math and sciences. Do everything you can to eradicate sexist attitudes or het-male-centric curriculum assignments. Only after you’ve done all that can you dismiss socialization.

As for the wage gap, two things can be done about it, apart from just identifying it:

1. As a society, we need to be a little less secretive about our salaries. Really? What’s to be ashamed of? If you make a little, that’s not shameful. If you make a lot, that’s also not shameful. But if you hide your salary, it’s more difficult for people to see and identify sexist trends in salaries. There is no accountability.

2. We either need to stop a culture of “The more aggressive negotiators get pay raises or higher starting salaries” or we need to encourage more women to be aggressive in negotiating for those things. I’d vote for the former, but the latter may be easier to achieve.
