Well that won't be making MTV...

Add to the list of those who don't belong there: The Darkness, The Kaiser Chiefs and hell, even Avril Lavigne...

Yes, some jobs are generally better suited to either men or women. Sometimes it has to do with physical strength (the outrage around these hermaphrodite athletes is there for a reason: women athletes know they can't compete with men in some areas), sometimes it has to do with cultural acceptance, but it does make a difference.

However, this is no reason to not give someone a stab at a job just 'cause of there sex. If you're looking for someone in construction and a lady happens to fit the bill, one has got to be openminded enough to realize this.

There is one thing though that shouldn't be underestimated when the decision to hire someone is made. If you're hiring for a mission critical job that requires one to be permanently available and willing to work on odd hours. A young woman might not be such a good choice 'cause off the maternity issues that might arise. And since you're not allowed to ask whether or not she's planning on having any kids in the next couple of years (that would be a sign of discrimination, you know), you're automatically going to think twice about hiring her.

So, sadly enough, the laws that are supposed to help women gain equal footing in the job market are the very same laws that are reinforcing people's beliefs that you're safer off hiring a guy for the job.

True. MK was a whole experience in itself, first game to use digitized images that effectively and convincingly. Milestone game that. Max Payne was just a really well executed film noir game. Unique in it's own way, but too niche to be influential.

Argh, difficult one, I wish both of them could go on for a little while longer, but since I finished MKII and have still to finish Max Payne...
