U.S. Army Special Operations Command, in a lengthy study, reported a wide range of “overtly sexist” comments from male soldiers, including a broad aversion to females serving in commando units. The comments, it said, are “not outliers” but represent a common sentiment that women don’t belong on special operations teams.

“The idea that women are equally as physically, mentally and emotionally capable to perform majority of jobs is quite frankly ridiculous,” said one male commenter. Others said they’d quit before serving on a team with a female, and that serving in such a situation it would create problems and jealousy among their wives.

      It’s impossible for you to show me that pay for those sorts of jobs are abysmal in Germany? I doubt that.

        Of course the burden of proof is with whoever disagrees with you, you never have to show any proof for your claims. If you don’t even know how to find their pay, why do you claim they are not underpaid?

          I didn’t make the claim, you did. You said pay was abysmal. Now you’re refusing to back that up and trying to gaslight me into saying I was the one making the claim.

            I’d think that you might have been aware of the current issues within the care sector because it was basically all over the news for a long time, especially in the beginning of the pandemic when the workers said that the applause didn’t pay their rent.

            But then it would be shitty of me to judge someone who must’ve been trapped in the black forest for 2 to 3 years and still survived.

            The pay has increased in May 2023 by 200€ per month. Additionally the care workers will receive up to 200€ per month until February 2024 as a compensation for inflation and a single inflation compansation payment of 1200€. Currently there are no strikes in sight so far, which could mean that the care workers can live off their wages or the raise came too late and they starved.

            Here is my source: https://www.pflegen-online.de/tvoed-bis-zu-400-euro-mehr-fuer-pflegekraefte

            One of the problems left is that there are so few care workers within the industry so they’re still paid abysmally given how many people they have to take care of per person. Unfortunately i don’t have a hard number to go with but care workers often report burnouts happening which doesn’t happen in a slow job.

          Use those budding google fu skills of yours to look up what a burden of proof is, and while youre there “how to argue in good faith”.
