Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to you.
You will be missed.

I could definitely see Helen Mirren as the Rani. I think the Doctor role is a lost cause now, not because she's a woman, but because she's over 40. As a recurring antagonist, though, she'd be phenomenal.

anyone who doesn't think women make more money and have an easier time finding work doesn't have a job in the engineering industry where that is definitely the case.

Good interning. Stop by in the comments section once in awhile.

Best of luck...I would ask what you learned interning, but given that staff I'm going to let discretion govern that impulse. I can understand your offense to this show (keep in mind its television, and it's a comedy..you might be reading just a liiiiiittlllee to much into this), but employment according to gender typically does not favor women, however this is not always the case. I think we can all come up with a few professions where you are unlikely to see very many (straight) men. Granted these are exceptions. My ex fiancee was a biochemistry professor at a high level university in Portland...despite qualifications, and being a younger, attractive women(which may have hurt her), she was not treated equally by her exclusively male department

Concerning the treatment and pay of women in the workforce...
I think of what that woman Marilyn Vos Savont (?) had to say on the subject. Paraphrasing here, but she asked if men are being paid higher wages we should ask 'why?' In this highly competitive capitalistic workforce, why aren't employers slashing payroll costs and hiring only women then?
There must be a reason...
Is that reason that women tend to take time away from the workforce to bear children - while their male counterparts continue to grow in their positions?
If you were a prospective employer that had to spend alot of time and money to train a new employee, would your first choice be a man - or a woman who may be taking time off for childbirth?
Good questions that often are not brought up when you constantly hear the stats thrown out that women are so very oppressed in the marketplace.
In my own personal experience in the Air Force and even in traditional 'male' blue-collar work, the women were paid as much as the men, and often my supervisor too.
Perhaps this is only my own experience though....
I'm sure discrimination based on sex, sexuality, race, etc exist.
But I just can't say I've seen systematic bias.

Please wait...
