Was that before or after he told you people were hypnotizing you through the TV and tried to sell you nutritionally complete frozen burritos?

Or before or after he told you Black people are a hate group and White people should stay the hell away from Black people, and how to treat women: The Death of Dilbert and False Claims of White Victimhood: https://time.com/6259311/dilbert-racism-scott-adams/ https://time.com/6259311/dilbert-racism-scott-adams/ >“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people, according to this poll, not according to me, according to this poll,” Adams says calmly in the clip. “That’s a hate group. That’s a hate group and I don’t want anything to do with it. And I would say based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is get the hell away from Black people. Just get the f-ck away. Wherever you have to go, just get away.” Dilbert’ Creator Scott Adams Compares Women Asking for Equal Pay to Children Demanding Candy: https://comicsalliance.com/scott-adam-sexist-mens-rights/ https://comicsalliance.com/scott-adam-sexist-mens-rights/ "The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don’t argue when a women tells you she’s only making 80 cents to your dollar. It’s the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles." -Scott Adams

  "It's real" and "it's not real" are both poor explanations of gender pay gaps that aren't educational. Claudia Goldin won a Nobel last year partly for explaining them - a rough summary is whether women work has changed over time (highest when everyone was a farmer, lowest 1950sish, now up again), the pay gap does exist currently and appears to be caused by having children, and prior to having children the current generation of women are paid more likely due to being more educated than men. The "it doesn't exist" argument is something like "it doesn't exist if you control for job choice and seniority level", which is an example of conditioning on a collider because those things are /caused by/ motherhood, so you can't control for them.
