What I'm seeing is a group of men who are single and not by choice with another group of happily married men trying to explain to them but they don't want to listen. Probably a few women here and there as well, but mostly, the sexist posts are the guys who can't find someone who wants to be in a relationship with them due to their attitudes and probably never will... unless there's a sale on doormats somewhere.

Grow up and get over it.
It is healthy not to hold grudges pal.
As you can see, it has made you hate and fear all women.

Now be honest. The men who want to "rule over women" aren't doing it for the women's own good, they're trying to do it for the man's own good. When a sexist, egotistical bigot tries to rule over someone else, it's for their own reasons to try to gain something, not for the good of the person they are trying to subjugate. Fortunately, most women are smart enough to not fall for that and most men are smart enough to not try. There are a few men out there with really big mouths and really small brains and a few women out there with no sense at all who are going to do stuff like that, but most people have more sense.

Wow.
You know what? I think this may be the most ignorant, absurd, mysoginistic posts I've ever read. And frankly, that says something about the character of the poster.
I'll stop there.

YES
Ever seen a female plumber? .
MANY, have you been out in the real world in the past 10 years????
How many female engineers do you see? Just about zero doing real engineering work. So, the males end up making the technology that takes care of women, as they sure don't get into the technical issues much.
actually, with your examples, they just do the grunt work and the women are in charge
Looks to me like men rule over women in all things that really count.
YES
Ever seen a female doing really highly technical work?
again, have you been out in the REAL world in the past 10 years????
The few females in enigneering schools usually end up getting married and nearly zero get into the work force. Most of the are going for what are called MRS degrees to pick up a guy that makes a lot of money for them.

One of my childhood friends has a phd in engineering. She works for Boeing in the aviation design area.
My 21 year old cousin just graduated with a 4.0 in a double major: chemical and mechanical engineering. She's now overseas in Japan
Women are in the technical fields, my friend. You just have to look.

only 11% of the engineering workforce in 2003 were women.

The reasons for this are complicated. It certainly seems that the pattern is set early and that the perception and engagement issues that industry continues to struggle with are at their most pronounced when it comes to young women. But it would also be naïve to suggest that misconceptions are the only problems and industry itself is completely free of sexism.
While the reasons for industry’s gender gap may be hard to fathom, one thing is certain: as the skills gap begins to bite, it’s vital that the UK capitalises on the skills of all of its available talent.
Failure to promote careers in engineering for women will mean that we will continue to miss out on 50 per cent of the available talent, an oversight which could have serious repercussions for society and the future strength of the economy.

You say there's a problem getting women into technology? The real problem might be the men.
In the past few days, the tech industry – more specifically the chunk of it located over on the US west coast – has hardly covered itself in glory.
Let's understand it again: being female isn't a disadvantage in coding. If you have to ask, consider that Ada Lovelace was arguably the first programmer, and that Grace Hopper only, you know, invented the compiler, among other things.
And meanwhile ask yourself whether there's really no sexism in computing – or whether the answer to "why aren't there more women in technology" might have anything to do with the people who are already there.
Ultimately, the study makes a convincing case that “biology is not destiny.”
In an era when women are increasingly prominent in medicine, law and business, why are there so few women scientists and engineers? A new research report by AAUW presents compelling evidence that can help to explain this puzzle. Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics presents in-depth yet accessible profiles of eight key research findings that point to environmental and social barriers – including stereotypes, gender bias and the climate of science and engineering departments in colleges and universities – that continue to block women’s participation and progress in science, technology, engineering, and math. The report also includes up to date statistics on girls' and women's achievement and participation in these areas and offers new ideas for what each of us can do to more fully open scientific and engineering fields to girls and women.

I am quite aware of the treatment of women in the Bible. It was part of my theology degree.
So you propose a literal translation of the Bible? That the writings concerning women are both canonical and God's will?
Do you consider the culture of the times? Seems to me this is a major factor in determining anything proposed by a religious text.
But let's go secular for a moment. Two hundred years ago, many white slave owners justified slavery because "the black race was inferior, barbaric, and incapable of competing with a white man's intellect. There are books from that time era that promote this viewpoint. Why the negative view? It was the culture of the times.
Do you consider African Americans inferior?
Another example, this one more modern. In the 1930s, an idea about racial purity began to circulate in the US and Germany. This idea eventually led to the Holocaust and the death of countless people. During this time period, there were books and articles written about the smaller brain of the Jews.
In both of the incidents referenced above, one group of people felt justified in subjacating another group of people. There is no difference with regards to women.

I did, 2 percent females won science awards.
Females chose to not be serious in the sciences.
