Not sure what is a comprehensive (sorry) or what the differences would be between them. Is it like public schools in the US? Do you take placement testings to determine which one you would be sent to? Are they determined by income?

This is simply curiosity. I did not know that schools were that different in the UK. In my home country they are very different than the US, but not in the way you are describing.

I needed to read that. Next year I take out my contraceptive implant so I can be open to life and am terrified about that whole thing.
 
Doctors of what? Salaries vary, and men gravitate toward higher-paying specialties.
 
Different specialities still pay different wages regardless of gender in medicine.
 
This is quite interesting. I don’t know enough about the system to fully understand why that may have been. It isn’t possible that the testing places students into schools that suited their assumed talents even if that did not match their interests?

In my home country we could choose any school we wanted but we had to pay the tuition and transportation ourselves. Many kids never attended school or only for a very short time (a couple of years) because their family could not afford uniforms or tuition. Same in my husbands country of origin. Often the youngest child would have a very good education because the older siblings would pay for their schooling. Even through university if able. It is interesting how different countries view the importance of education (or not) and what that actually means to the children and society as a whole.

A lot of the concern nowadays regards unconscious bias. For example, there have been studies that people’s evaluation of the competence of a resume changes depending on the name - so for example, “Steven O’Donnell” is rated as more competent than “Amy Green” or “Jayden Thompson,” even when the resumes have the exact same info. There’s also suggestions it affects salary negotiation - women are much more likely to be seen as pushy or entitled, even when behaving in the same way that might be seen as assertiveness in a man.
 

The problem with legal rights is we live in a society of humans. I know many times I’ve heard “this was illegal, but the police wouldn’t take my report.”
This applies to men and reporting domestic violence. In Australia, if a man reports being a victim of domestic violence he will often be ignored by the police, or have the police come to his home and be removed as the perpetrator. I understand the same happens in the US. In both countries there are about 100 shelters for women for every shelter for men.

The implications for child custody are enormous. A man must stay with an abusive wife for fear of losing his kids where a woman is fully supported in leaving and divorcing the husband. This is what feminists have wrought and work furiously to maintain, and do so on taxpayer funds by promoting a one sided view of domestic violence and using skewed statistics. They suppress the information that serious domestic violence is mostly two way and occurs mostly in aboriginal and underprivileged communities, and use rubbery definitions of dv to inflate the number of female “victims”. It is one of the leading contributors to suicide in men.

BTW, thankyou to all for the discussion and information about historical education choices. In the past many boys were also denied their first choice of a career by the education system and family circumstances. My step father didn’t finish school, but would eventually become a research physicist when the opportunity became available, as a returned soldier after WWII. Needless to say, that required him to survive the war.

A large study conducted by the Australian public service found that the unconscious bias was directed in favor of women, and that male recruiters were the ones most likely to favor the female candidate. As the study found the opposite of what the originators wanted it was ignored until the media stumbled on it.

This is part of how I ended up being given the privilege of raising my nieces and nephews. Mom is mentally ill. She abused dad for years. He sought help and even left with the kids a few times. He was charged with kidnapping them and they were returned to mom. He went home thinking he could protect everyone as long as he was there. Eventually she actually attempted to kill him. He left. Unfortunately without his children. One night she went too far and the kids were taken into foster care. Dad had returned to his country of origin and my husband and I were the only relatives in a position to take all six of them. I don’t agree with dad for leaving the kids, but I honestly believe he felt he had no other options.
 
I will be honest here. I have heard the unconscious bias stuff before and I don’t buy it. All that does is allow for anyone to be accused of racist or sexist thoughts. A person who is not racist or sexist is told that they really are even if they don’t realize or recognize it. And how can a person defend themselves against those accusations? It is impossible.

Yes - I’d say this is definitely a thing that needs more attention (and I’m one of the resident CAF feminists here).

I think there’s a fundamental viewpoint difference here. Conservatives tend to see these matters in a very individualistic manner. I don’t, personally, believe that black people are inherently dumb or lazy, so I’m not part of the problem. And it’s a very big deal to be accused of harboring racist or sexist attitudes, because it means you are a bad person.

Liberals tend to have a more societal approach. Most people pick up some negative attitudes from the society they’re in. It’s part of being human - you have to work on it, but it doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person. It’s not really something you need to defend against, if that makes sense.

Thankyou 🙂
 
How do you gadge unconscience bias? The only test I have seen that checks for it was really silly. (By the way, we were given it at work and It showed that I did not have unconscious biases so my belief in the test is not colored by that experience). Anyway, if a person uses biases against another person, that is wrong and it does make them a “bad person” for doing that. So yes, being accused of something like that is a big deal.
 
How many hours do they work? How many of them work in more flexible workplaces? How does this compare among salaried doctors vs those in their own practices?
 
Most liberals would say that if you only focus on the “bad people” you’ll never make any real progress. It’s not “bad people” that cause most problems, it’s good people who don’t realize how the status quo can hurt others, because it works for them. (Think MLK’s speech on the moderates of his time.)

I do see your other question, but if I don’t get off the computer I’m gonna be late for Mass.
 
That isn’t really enough information. Many factors go into pay. How many patients do they have? Whatcha hospitals are they associated with? Are they also professors in a medical school? Do they focus on (name removed by moderator)atient, outpatient, private pay or insurance/Medicaid/Medicare patients? Do they go on speaking tours? Are they military doctors? All of this and much more affect Dr pay in the US
 
Well I think rhat is the point.

We need to stop relying on our anecdotal experiences and believe others when they share something contradictory.

There are enough studies to show the pay gap and articles and expeirences to highlight different curriculums as late as the 80s. But people still deny it, simply because they haven’t seen it.
