Our thanks to Martin for this piece in the International Business Times by a man, Vasudevan Sridharan (a fine Icelandic name). There’s a short video (1:05) which starts, ‘According to the Fawcett Society…’ so you know you can look forward to a peer-reviewed series of verifiable facts.

Justice for Men & Boys 
begins to look like the former Communist East Block is being replaced by the Feminist North Block. Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin are being leapfrogged by Nordic feminists and liberals. Hard to believe. No need to say what impact this will have on the economy. but it wil not be good. that much is certain.

This is a very good way of conceptualizing this – indeed, the worst feminazis do seem to be Scandinavian, followed by the Anglo ones, then the southern Europeans… the further south you go the less of a problem it is lol.

Is it that the worst feminazis come from the north or that the Scandinavian men are pathetic?

Perhaps somewhere up in the Arctic circle there’s a White Walker style cavern where they’ve been sleeping under the ice until global warming defrosted it and set them free to roam the Earth once more? It would explain the dead eyed soulless expressions that so many of them and their male allies/pets wear.

I can see payroll becoming extremely complicated, and costly to run.
Instead of people being salaried and paid pro rata if not a full time worker (0.6 FTE for someone working three days) everybody is either a) going to be required to be self employed, and negotiate their own individual package so firms therefore can’t give details of anyone else’s pay as it’s sensitive personal data, or b) hourly paid, with a specific monetary weighting allocated to every element of the job description/person specification.
I can see everything, and I mean literally everything, having to be broken down to the lowest common denominator of the hour and the task, to ensure those who do work in the office and accept responsibility are paid what they are worth.

It is in the Public Sector and those contracted to it. But after 30 years “job evaluations” are the norm and part of the HR function. So in fact the only bit of this that is “new” from a UK perspective is the Certificate for the employer. As I say above the Hay system is the most commonly used. I presume this story is supposed to chivvy us up in the UK, but in fact equal pay has in law for 40 years and Job evaluations the norm for nearly 30.
The “Gap” is not about equal pay for the same work, but doing different amounts of work overall, ether part time or part career.

First of all it is of course illegal in the Uk already and has been for decades. The process touched on in this article and described more fully elsewhere is “equivalent value” job evaluation which went through all public services in the 1990s early 2000s. The usual effect to downgrade outdoor and dangerous work.
I believe this method is widely used in large businesses.
The most frequently used method of evaluation used in the public sector “Hay’s” Still going strong. http://www.haygroup.com/uk/services/index.aspx?id=2424
So the “news” bit is that the Icelandic Companies get a “certificate” .
Iceland has a population about that of a metropolitan borough in England. One presumes that the “losers” may be the fishermen etc. if the same systems are used there as are normal here. But of course employment in Iceland is similar to the rest of Scandinavia , very sex segregated to public sector/admin female and private sector production male. Interestingly much more so than the UK.
Yet another example of “fake news” as the new bit is the Certification not the idea of equal pay.

I hope Iceland will also outlaw women getting paid the same for less work. Wimbledon style….

Haha now that’s funny. Also they don’t seem to be demanding gender equality on the fishing boats that trawl for cod throughout the year.

And that’s why it’s clear for all to see that feminists want superiority for women and not equality. For this reason, I simply can not treat them like a gentleman. Not until they either accept that men do the bulk of the hard jobs and are more creative or they return to being mothers, wives and house keepers. Until women accept either one of those options ,I am unable to treat them like a gentleman. It takes a true lady for me to treat her like a gentleman. Not a lying, greedy, shameless feminist.

Yep, apparently all jobs are to be ‘evaluated’, so women’s jobs will be declared equal to men’s jobs, even when they are obviously not. Taken to extremes (it will be) we can envisage women packing fish into boxes on conveyor belts being paid the same as fishermen on trawlers, or dinner ladies in cosy school kitchens being paid the same as men emptying bins into refuse carts in freezing weather. No need to ask where more lives are lost, or which work has greater dangers and health risks.

Nice idea but I have a nagging suspicion that it doesn’t work like that. Incidentally the fact that women were paid less than men in the past is always presented as putting women at a disadvantage . But of course the reverse is true. Women could undercut men’s wages as they only had themselves to support, while a man had to show that he could earn enough to provide for a family before he became marriage material . Thus they could price themselves into work.

A case in point. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/668675/Gender_pay_gap_report_.pdf
The report of the “Department” of the Civil Service charged with the Exiting of the EU. Brexiteers might want to ponder on why a “department” of the Civil Service entirely composed of staff “on loan” from other parts of the Civil Service, with too few staff to be required to do such an analysis and report, would waste its time when one would have thought (wrongly it seems) it was very busy getting a good deal for Britain.
Secondly of course it points out there is indeed no “gap” in pay for each individual but it trumpets the accelerated promotion of women and ignores the unrepresentative nature overall (mainly female workforce). A model probably for most “companies” as the only way to advance women will be to pay them more in some way and this it seems will be by creating management jobs to be filled by them.

So if a man who has been at a company for say 5 years and has experience say 10 years in the given field, can not be paid more than say a new female employee with say 1 year experience?
What kind of a stupid system is that ? It is 100% de-motivational and will bring the Icelandic economy to its knees over time. Even the communists distinguished and rewarded experience and commitment, for example. Western women will completely destroy the economy, the society as well as the education system. Every man who still pretends not to see this, or is quiet on gentleman’s grounds is a fool.
