:wave: hey....

I wanna know what everyone thinks about australia being an equal nation that means that no matter what your age, religion, beliefs etc. you still have the same oppurtunities as others?

what do you guys think?

 

[withoutaface]

No, because there are still many social constructs which create barriers to opportunity which need to be flushed out, but not through force like aa or anti discrimination laws, because these just create resentment.

In ideology they say it is, but like many things ideology and reality are not the same thing. For example, women are still heavily outnumbered by men in parliament. While the 'glass ceiling' is said to be non-existent anymore with equal rights, etc, it still exists today. So i would say no.

We're not quite there, but even if I was like, a black woman, I'd rather live here than a more 'equal' country like Sweden.

Women have every right and can do what ever they want. The only thing is, they have to play by the rules. No special treatment because you're a "girl" you want to play with the big boys you have to play hard.

Anyone can win. Most won't because they are either too stupid, or they just don't have the balls.

Women fare better in society than men. They get better education, better jobs, better rights in courts, better healthcare and all the vestigial remnants of a chivalrous society.

i dont mind that, as long as they dont whinge i am happy. whingin bitches.

Females are not equal as of yet but they have more equality compared to what it used to be like.

Of course females are not equal. They're starting to gain the upperhand in society these days.

Anyway, this thread sounds like an assessment task

 

[Serius]

ofcourse its not equal, but i would say it is more equal here than anywhere else in the world. Overhere the inequality means that men get less opertunities where as woman float above them[until they hit the glass ceiling, i dont know where we would be without the good "old boys" network]

atleast we have laws that should protect your rights

women complain about how they are dissadvantaged in the workplace... bullshit. Its just that men are more likely to work harder and work longer hours. Men put their career first, with women alot of them have a break mid-career for a baby, which puts them behind in the game[when talking politics and business]

and as for the prospect of a female prime minister, dont make me scoff. We sure as shit arent ready for that, people complain about Howard going to war in Iraq, with a woman in charge it would be a new war every day!

the fact is that for women to suceed in business and politics, they have to be tough motherfuckers who put their career first above EVERYTHING, work brutally long hours, dont want children and on top of that outcompete the competition at all times.

Tell me how is an individual female disadvantaged in society. Don't talk about the average wage because that doesn't account varying circumstances such as whether they have children or not (which is their own choice).

 

[santaslayer]

Like I said, females are more than equal in today's society.

what do you guys think?

Clearly it's not equal. A child has less rights than an adult.

Clearly it's not equal. A child has less rights than an adult.

a child also has less responsibility than an adult

AND! THEY GET TO MURDER BABIES!

The single most defining factor in Australia is social class. A lot of different factors go into comprising a person's class, and lower class/working poor people simply don't have as many opportunities as people of a higher class. Until we have a classless system (not bloody likely anytime soon), Australia will not be an equal nation.

 

[katie_tully]

What about people of higher class who worked their way up from the bottom? It's not completely unattainable if you have drive and determination.
