That is probably more important than any other factor.

This is the point blank explaination why men “generally” make more in salary than women. No maternity leave, no “little Johnny’s sick so I have to stay home” or other excuses that require them to come late/leave early, or be absent all together.

Yup. Less time and energy cultivating long term relationships. Most [male] gay relationships are short term or even transient. Most women won’ stand for that.

For obvious reasons, they are probably more able to appeal to women in the workplace. All the benefits of a male relationship w/o sex getting in the way.

There is also the $$ issue. The fact that gay men don’t have a family to support opens up a lot of possibilities. Older gay men provide $$ support to younger gay men. More importantly, they have $$ to spend on political causes.

In short, they have a lot more time, money, and energy to scheme and manipulate than the average Joe.
