European lawmaker says women are too 'small, weak and unintelligent' for equal pay

[wehateporn]

A Polish member of the European Parliament may be punished after he said that women should earn less than men because they are weaker, smaller and "less intelligent."

Janusz Korwin-Mikke, a radical right-winger who leads a marginal party, could face sanctions such as a reprimand, a fine or a temporary suspension.

An investigation has been opened under rules specifying that members must show mutual respect and refrain from "defamatory, racist or xenophobic language or behavior."

He said: "Of course women must earn less than men because they are weaker, they are smaller, they are less intelligent. They must earn less, that's all."

Spanish MEP Iratxe Garcia Perez angrily replied: "Look, according to your theory, I should not have the right to be here, as a member of this parliament."

Interesting... I was thought that women are more hardy than men in some extreme conditions like heat, vibration and also they can work like robots on conveyor where average males lose concentration very fast.

While leftwing extremism is the biggest threat right now. And the leftwing parties outnumber rightwing parties exponentially.

i understand that you just repost here bullshit (Hitler alive, UFO spotted etc.) here and there to confuse people and distract them from important issues BUT, what does "radical right winger" mean for you and for the author of this article ?
Mentioned guy is rather XIX century capitalist, in that way like capitalism was built in USA that time. some call it social darwinism..he is far from being nationalist...while his views are controversial on many issues and I disagree with many of them, I totally agree with some of his socio- economic views.
and as for this issue - women are women and men are men. simple as that.
But some men are like women and some women are like men these days....

Know many women that play chess? There's not that many comedians either as a whole. I guess you can't grasp basic statistics then? That doesn't surprise me given your daily posts around here.

Strength and size is a factor for some jobs. Intelligence is something the OP should be keeping quiet about.

"intelligence" is a bad way of phrasing it, but it's no secret that woman have different traits/skills/etc... so obviously the pay will be different...

this story comes up often in textbooks on the development of skill and expertise. kind of a bizarre way to test a theory on learning... but he was committed for sure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A...B3_Polg%C3%A1r

"In 1965 Polgár "conducted an epistolary courtship with a Ukrainian foreign language teacher named Klara." In his letters, he outlined the pedagogical project he had in mind. In reading those biographies, he had "identified a common theme?early and intensive specialization in a particular subject." Certain that "he could turn any healthy child into a prodigy," he "needed a wife willing to jump on board."

He and Klara married in the USSR, whereupon she moved to Hungary to be with him.

They had three daughters together, whom Polgár home-schooled, primarily in chess but also in Esperanto, German, Russian, English, and high-level math.[4][5] Polgár and his wife considered various possible subjects in which to drill their children, "including mathematics and foreign languages," but they settled on chess. "We could do the same thing with any subject, if you start early, spend lots of time and give great love to that one subject," Klara later explained. "But we chose chess. Chess is very objective and easy to measure."[3] Susan described chess as having been her own choice: "Yes, he could have put us in any field, but it was I who chose chess as a four-year-old.... I liked the chessmen; they were toys for me."[6]

The experiment began in 1970 "with a simple premise: that any child has the innate capacity to become a genius in any chosen field,..."

I would say women are even more smarter than men in the sense that men are distracted with more ease while women are more focused by nature. However, women are more emotional, so they fuck up things because of stupid thoughts they have.

More quotes from Janusz:

A monkey is a much better voter than a socialist. Statistically speaking, if we assume that there are two options to choose from: the "A" and the "B" - the monkey is voting randomly, so its wrong 50% of the time. The socialist, however - is always wrong.


The difference between Europe and USA is that in USA they keep reds in reservations, and we in parliaments.


Socialist is not a human but animal - because human differs from animal in this that he has moral rules, and reds, as their program states they disobey them.


Socialists believe otherwise - a man is not competent enough to make decision should he use seatbelt, should he buy insurance, and the same man is competent enough to elect president and government.


Socialists try to convince us that the tea becomes sweet not because of sugar, but because of mixing.


Justice is to social justice like a chair to an electric chair.

That is an interesting study there TheSquealer, thanks for that. It seems like a perfect example of what I am suggesting.

It is pretty hilarious that you are trying to argue that women are some how ill equipped for focus yet you can't even form a logical point for it at even the most basic level.

The only reason you have ever played the game is because you have seen men excel in it, get recognized for it, be respected for it. If only women played and did well you would probably not play it much or at all because you would perceive it as something that only women play. If that was true would that mean you are unable? Chess wasn't even popular in the US until Bobby Fischer came around and became an international figure.

I'll give another example. There are no Serbian baseball players in the MLB. It is a very western game but is not popular at all where you come from. Now does this mean you are unable to play at a competitive level? Even if you started young and grew up playing it? Now break it down as to why it is not popular in Serbia. Of course you will just dismiss it and say it's a stupid game played by out of shape people, but the real reason is that nobody from Serbia plays it. If even ONE player who comes out of nowhere and starts hitting homeruns and making a name for himself and happens to be Serbian that begins to change. This is exactly what happened in Japan, Korea, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic..even Holland has a team competing in the World Baseball Classic right now and they are really good, although most of them are from Curacao specifically.

My point is Women being involved and accepted into academics is a VERY new thing in human history. It is so new that we haven't even overcome our ingrained beliefs that they are not capable, even on a subliminal level sometimes. This isn't only by men, women often do it themselves by conceding to the same beliefs. So until there is some prominent women who start kicking some ass in the game that probably wont change for a while.

The answer is quite simple. Women don't play chess because there are no known women who play chess. Would you ever play it if only women were successful at it? I bet you wouldn't.
