Why are you assuming the women are below average? Though even if they were, maybe they are making a premium because they aren't adding sexism to their workplaces and exposing their company to the legal liabilities you are.

Why would you assume that he's lying about people he knows? > Though even if they were, maybe they are making a premium because they aren't adding sexism to their workplaces and exposing their company to the legal liabilities you are. By being paid more than their male counterparts while being less qualified for the job, they most definitely are adding sexism to the work place.

I read that as an AND as opposed to a singular entity. Below average AND woman.

Are women never sexist?

Because their grades were average, they are friends and I’ve helped them. Are you threatening me? Is it because I’m making sense and instead of offering a counter argument you resort to this? Well luckily for me I’m my own boss, I’m on a forum which let’s me discuss ideas with many members who I know are far smarter than me in every field. Maybe a counter argument here makes sense, convinces me, and brings me more to your side even by 1%. Or you can vaguely threaten me, push me to more obscure extreme parts of the internet and a year from now see my relatively moderate opinions become extreme because people like you have pushed me to the fringes where I’m surrounded by likeminded people some terrible but others who have also been pushed out and don’t hear any good counter arguments. Because that’s happening all over lately. Edit: I’m using “me” as an example, I’m obviously not going to do that but I’m trying to make a point that others who speak against the majority opinion absolutely might and there are bad actors who are trying to manipulate that with intersecrionality of their own kind. Just like being against sexism is intersectional with anti racism, gun control, pro choice etc. when someone gets sucked into something seemingly innocuous as this, it’s very likely they’ll start believing a whole lot of similar ideas. That can be good or bad I suppose.

  If a comment from a psuedo-anonymous stranger on the internet pushes you into radical misogyny, you were already there and looking for justification of your abhorrent views.
