lukecanada, I presume your post is aimed at me.

First, I'm no "lefty", I can assure you of that.  I'm a family man (with many women in my life) who just wants sexism to go away (I advocate for equality and fairness).

Second, that fact that you refer to me as an "empty" man likely speaks volumes about your mindset.  Calling me that seems to imply that you feel that I'm not a real man because I advocate for equity.  I can assure you I'm a real man, literally and figuratively.

Thirdly, as a man I don't feel responsible for the wrongs of others, but I do feel that we all need to speak out and support "the right thing", even in the face of those who would deny it.

Finally, you seem to be confusing equity as being just a choice (i.e. jobs and salary).  There is much much more to this issue, and if you can't see that you should read up on it.  There have been many good articles of late that have explained the issues in fine detail.
