All the relavent arguments regarding this thread have been touched on I guess so this is a little off topic (sorry ) but someone mentioned the apparent disparity in sallary between men and women in Australia....but no one mentioned the disparity between work related illness and deaths..?..guess what that is..?

LOTS more men die at work than women, in fact it's almost 10:1 Can ya believe that? If that ain't sobering I dunno what is? Imagine if it were the other way around ? Also, 83% of admissions to casuality wards in Australia for work related injury/illness are men. Hmmm? How come we don't hear these statistics?

Sorry for the digression but sooooo many FAR more important comparissions are over looked in male vs female debates in favour of the more politically correct and dare I say it?..more trivial ones?

Still wish more girls liked asronomy though....particularly my wife
