Apparently not!

Is it coming as a shock to you that there are multiple definitions of the same word?

BTW, even if pregnancy (in the biological sense) enters into the equation, how exactly, should this biological impact on earnings/career progression be remedied?

Simple. Have the men birth the children and the women dig the ditches and mine the coal.

You must not be married.

Apparently she isn't.

Did someone make a bad choice when choosing their spouse and are now bitter/angry about it and vent that frustration on the ENTIRE male population?

That list has one thing in common--indoor work that frequently involves interpersonal skills.

That, and most of these jobs mentioned are usually working under or as assistants to people in careers that are predominantly male careers...

Example: look at any accounting firm. The majority of receptionists, assistants, lower-level accountants may be women, but look at the high-paying jobs like CPAs and partners, the vast majority of those are men.

I see a lot of outrage over women and minority hiring preferences, that is supposedly going on currently at the majors. If you look at the Delta and United hiring stats that ALPA publishes, their classes are about 7% female. The regional pilot population is about 6% female. 1% difference isn't usually considered to be statistically significant.

Now what about legacy hires (children of major airline pilots, checkairman, etc). Those people seem to have a huge leg up over anyone, and people rarely complain about that. It seems like a lot of low-time d*bags and d*p$h*ts that have moved up from my airline (the ones captains hate flying with, who have an entitled attitude and poor work ethic) have one thing in common: daddy or uncle or close family friend is someone of influence at Delta, United, AA, etc. It seems to me being born with a good connection at the airlines helps 10x more than being born female or a minority when it comes to getting on at a major airline.

This is not the case at Delta. Even CP's can't don't have any extra pull with Pilot Selection. Otherwise I agree, "legacy" admissions at universities or "legacy" hirings at companies are as bad as affirmative action.
