Yahoo is responsible for where and on what it slaps its brand, IMO. Yes, would have been good to have some Taiwanese stats (don't see any), so point taken.

Hardly comes to the level of trivial political correctness. Let's take the American custom of bombing other countries. Would you feel justified objecting to that? Is it possible that you can see something as wrong, in your opinion, when its not happening in your immediate geographic area? Reading papers from the women's movement in Taiwan, this doesn't appear to be completely accepted out there either.

But the article doesn't even go there. There is no general condemnation of this activity in Taiwan, frankly we don't care that much. What's objected to are the actions of an American company in Taiwan.

Sorry, no agenda here, no axe to grind with Yahoo. Yahoo is an American company (like it or not), and takes ownership of anything it slaps its brand on abroad.

Corporations don't sponsor religious festivals. Models are present at US events, I think the uproar is about the lap dancing, etc.. Not sure why you can't link the general attitude towards women in the technology space and the lack of women in the technology space. People (maybe not you) were uncomfortable with what was going on.

The .69/dollar claim is as old as time, cited all over the place. Has nothing to do with any external factor like hours, experience, etc.: it demonstrates that all other things being equal a woman is paid less for the same work.

Don't question my credibility when you don't understand the foundational facts.
