OK, another hypothetical "what if" question:
Suppose you were a fugitive, running and hiding from the law. Would you live as a woman to disguise yourself?
Interesting hypothetical, but sure I might do that. It wouldn't be the first time someone has done that.
Here's a tougher question.
It is a well knows fact that women make about 70 cents on the dollar for the same jobs as men.
Would you accept a 30% pay cut to live as a woman.
I generally don't participate in hypotheticals but I like this one. My answer is an unqualified yes. I think my makeup skills would greatly improve even if just out of necessity :lol:
I'm a yes...I mean it would only seem "natural" LOL
No, for me it would make it easier to be found as I'm out and more people know me as Jean a than as a guy.
No way! I think any man who is six foot tall and weighing 200 lbs would attract a lot of second glances when wearing a dress. I do recall reading about several bank robbers over the years who wore women's clothing and a wig while robbing a bank. Seems all were caught.
I don't think it's a "well known fact", I think it's propaganda. Where I worked, there was no separate pay scale for men and women. Every one in the same job and the same length of service was paid the same. Now let's look at the Postal Service, police and fire fighters, etc. Same pay regardless of male or female. I don't think any employer could get away with paying men more than females for the same job. If you can provide a real world example, I would like to see it.

I'm thinking that if you are running from the law, you wouldn't be staying around people you know, I'm thinking you would move to another state and take on a new identity. That's where the living as a woman comes in.

Hell, I'm not running from the law and I'd like to do it. When I retire, I may consider moving and starting fresh as Nikki
Hypothetically running from the law in an alternate universe? I'd already be a hot woman. So, I'd disguise myself as a man.:tongueout
Why not let's give this a go what's the worse that can happen my wife find me or Johnny law??
I can't answer this one honestly because:
1) I'm not on the lam, and
2) I don't plan on ever being in that situation.

I think I'll have to rob a bank and try it out for real. Should be fun!:heehee: That reminds me, some years ago a guy was arrested at a 'Transvestite' (as they called it) hotel near Manchester doing exactly what Krisi said.
Since I live as a woman pretty much of the time now, it wouldn't be much of a diguise.
I could try, but I make one unattractive woman. I would stand out for sure.

Given that for many of us our makeup skills are good enough such that many folks who know us might need to look closely to recognise us as a way of evading the law it makes a certain sense. However in many cities CCTV is linked to facial recognition software and that sees beyond and through any makeup so assuming you're on the most wanted list it might be wise to steer clear of big population centres.
Hey if nothing else it's gotta be fun trying and there's a lot to be said for hiding in plain sight.
Yes I would live as woman as a disguise but I hope I never get in that type of situation. I would rather make the choice of living as a woman without being forced to.
Krisi,
Why include the hypothetical question, just ask the straight question would we live as a woman .
My answer is as NikkiA replies, can't wait for the day to finally get the chance .
Most of us are only some form of criminal in our wives eyes.
I have been single allmy life, and have found, that single women actually on average, make more, than single men do. i even heard that on a radio talk show a few times. It is just anti-male feminist political propaganda and lies, that women make less than men. i see women all over, in newer cars, and SUV's. i drive a 1976 Dodge. I suppose it i were running from the law, i would consider dressing up often, but at almost six foot six, and 255 lbs, i stick out bigtime!
I would hope that no one would ever do this. Every time a criminal is caught disguised as a woman it fuels the idea that all crossdressers are hiding out from the law.
First, the statistic isn't for a specific company but and over all average of income in the US. Second, 70% is no longer true it's closer to 80% but still women make less ON AVERAGE than men. And if you live in certain states it is worse than 70%Attachment 280500 From US Census data
Krisi,
Me running from the law, No, I would NOT disguise myself as a woman. Why? I could not pass, I would stand out, not blend in.. therefore caught very quickly.
But it would be a nice to dream...
As far as women making less than men due to bias or the system, this has been propaganda for decades.
It's really a matter of people's choices.

Take 5 minutes & see for yourself.

I have never worked a job where women doing the same work as I was getting paid less.
I'm not buying that pay gap nonsense at all because in 45 years working with women I have never seen it.
Hell I had to work in an office setting for a short time and I got paid less the the secretaries I worked with.
Running from the law? Sure, why not? On the other hand, I'm not that smart to run for long and I'd hate to be dragged off to jail in my disguise.
To address the gender gap issue, taking a pay cut wouldn't happen to me. I'll have a woman owned company and take advantage of the opportunities to sell/service Federal, State, and Local governments who are mandated to purchase goods and services from minority or woman owned companies. I've dealt in that arena for years. Why be a victim?
