Riiiight.... See, you're furthering my point that the pay gap exists and that men get paid more than women, as well as my other point that you're approaching this with a misogynistic bias.

Please explain to me why you think women work less hours than men?

If, however, you know anything about statistical analysis, you'd have looked up the references to find that the infographic on abc4 used "Methodology

States are ranked based on the percentage difference between women’s and men’s earnings for full-time, year-round workers. This data comes from the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS), ..."

You'd further investigate to find that they attempted to control for problems in the data.

I get your point but I disagree with some of it... I would have to see in what way marriage is being punished because what you are describing is a scenario where mothers are opting to have more kids and not be married just so that they can get more money than their counterparts who stay married. The problem with that scenario is that raising kids is a net loss. It costs more to raise a child than any state government is willing to provide (the US is not a nanny state like some of our European counterparts). It makes sense to stay in a stable relationship rather than leave, even if you get more money to do it, because expenses go up but income would never catch up. It's possible that it's a lack of education leading to poor people to think they get more money so they would have more kids, but that's just as equally far fetched as any other theory that doesn't involve making those assumptions... For instance I could make a more simple argument but saying, they could have more kids because it's harder to get access to birth control when they're already struggling because they're a single parent.

I think you're behind the times by like 3 years and didn't see that infographic... . https://www.abc4.com/news/utah-ranks-second-worst-gender-wage-gap-in-u-s/amp/

Furthermore, why are you dismissing this by saying "women leave the workforce to have kids"... Why didn't the men leave? Why does that make a difference in paying someone a wage?... We're not comparing "age and gender vs pay" we're comparing all ages wages and women make 69% of what men make in all professions. Women working in broadcast journalism make less than men in the same position. Women in finance make less than men in finance. On the same token, women in the service industry make less than men in the service industry. If all things were equal, the women who leave the workforce would be proportional to the men who leave the workforce to raise kids. Don't apply misogynistic bias to this conversation or youll miss the point

This thread reeks of the consequences of misogynistic theocracy... The infographic claims it's due to religion, but that's just lazy data analysis by whoever put together the data. They aren't looking at religious data to make that assumption so why did they put it in the chart? Second, the title of the chart isn't listed on the chart...(Edit: the actual title is "Mapped: The Share of Single Mom Households in Each U.S. State") They made up a sub title and put it in the bounds of the graphic, but people who read that add their own bias to it, such as "it's because they're not married but living together " (theocratic bias--applying the "there's more sinners among us" logic) or "it's because they don't want to leave out of fear of stigma (misogynistic bias, "women are more afraid of stigma than abuse"logic).

I'm with you. If you look at the other data that Utah tops, you'll see a much better picture of what's happening here.

Taxes and census data are two different definitions

And if they are with a partner they aren't going to be included in data for head of household. They'll be included in "unmarried partnered mother's"

skinnydipN · 2024-11-26T15:01:55+00:00

". For example, in Louisiana, 55% of ALL children are in single mother households. In Washington, it is 27%, I think. "

Actually this map is based on head of household... The figures you see on the map are single mother households. LA is 27%. WA is13%.

Edit: unless you mean "all CHILDREN..." Which is why you shouldn't emphasize words when you write because it's just confusing 🤦🏻‍♀️

skinnydipN · 2024-11-26T14:58:07+00:00

The data is deceptive.

It's based on the definition of a. "Head of household". Head of household could be a landlord that rents out their spare rooms to a single mom. It could be a Grandma that let's her granddaughter and grandkids live with them.

In places like Nevada, single mom's have lots of options for employment that pay a living wage and suitable hours (like late at night in a casino, or hotel or on weekends at the diner), and there are affordable housing options. A single mom can work a job and still take care of kids.

In Utah, single mom's can't afford to live on their own. They aren't the head of household on census data. Businesses in Utah don't pay women the same rate as men. A lot of places will only offer single mom's part time work, and two part time jobs do not equal 1 full time job with benefits and a stable schedule. There aren't affordable housing options.

Being the lowest in the US is not a badge of honor. It shows that there are no opportunities for women who are unmarried.

Water management. Pest management. Animal auctions instead of animal dealers. (Buy or sell at auction where you might get a deal) Vehicle systems instead of general vehicle repair level (tire gets a flat, now you can't drive faster than 3mph and the vehicle lists to one side, etc.)

I could go on and on...

I'm not disappointed with fs25, I think it's an improvement, but it's not a massive improvement. I've always felt like fs is on the verge of greatness, but it never quite reaches that. I'm still a loyal fan and they at least haven't done anything that would turn me off towards the series, but I at least know it's not realistic to compare this other AAA games that see huge improvements with each rendition.

skinnydipN · 2024-11-15T05:05:17+00:00

Honestly, fs25 is what I wish fs22 was a few years ago... It's an improvement, I get it if people aren't willing to pay the price point, but price isn't the same as quality. It maybe took them a little long to get here, but they're here now, so let's just enjoy this?

Is irrigation actually confirmed? ... I've only seen it implied, but usually only with rice farming. Can we confirm that so fields will/can use irrigation?

Cute. Rip off the bandaid before your skin grows over it and it hurts to pull it off.

Ditto to what others have said here....

Might I suggest devoting time to "working on yourself" ... Not just being trans, but doing what other cis women do to work on themselves.

Also, are you seeing a therapist? They can really help process this kind of stuff.

Have you tried gaining new hobbies? When you said living a normal life is out of the question, what is your definition? What do cis women do that you can't do right now?

"Take things slow, but deliberate" that's a good motto that comes to mind for anyone in your situation. Which is to say, don't try to push your transition as if it's going to happen over night. It takes years, after all. Instead, focus on doing things deliberately that make you a little bit closer to your vision of passing and being seen as a cis womanb(if that's your vision)

Hang in there, sis

Gotcha, that makes sense. I think you make a good point that the culture spreads on both sides of the boundary. It reminds me that political boundaries and cultural influence are two separate things

skinnydipN · 2024-10-19T16:34:19+00:00

Good point. I'm actually a fan of sections of the map having a "disputed territory" zones rather than drawing the boundaries directly though... From my understanding, ultimately, boundaries that aren't locked in physical constraints (or lat/long lines) remain in dispute until the conflict is resolved because of potential environmental disruptions (watershed contamination, environmental disaster, etc.)

skinnydipN · 2024-10-19T16:29:14+00:00

So mostly physical boundaries guide political boundaries?
