She's a victim of being approached all the time, because she presents as a woman not because she's attractive. Subjectively speaking I'm a much more attractive man than she is a woman, yet I get approached by women very rarel

My apologies. I don't know why you were censored, I'm assuming you know way more about this than me. I will say though I think it's dishonest to characterize feminist discourse by what happens on twitter. If this is happening

If you honestly think women are the privileged class, I urge you to befriend some transgendered women and try to learn about their experiences in transitioning. Some of my best friend's are trans and it's pretty hard to ignore the

I'm assuming you are a man. If that's the case, you need to be aware of the fact that when entering into a conversation about feminism you are an outsider. Your views, while important and worth discussion, should not dominate the

They certainly can be a mix, and that's what I personally believe. I didn't mean to present them as mutually exclusive ideas.

You seem incredibly misinformed. I'm not sure how anyone can be familiar with feminist thought and come to those conclusion. Please don't think that feminist thought places the blame for patriarchy on men, internalized oppression

No offense intended, but it seems like you're pretty anti-feminist without knowing a whole lot about the feminist movement. Here is a great place to start, if you're still on the fence about whether or not you should care about fe

Well I was asking for evidence to back up the parent's argument. Not sure why the burden of proof is on me, but since you asked: I would think it should be obvious, but women test equally or higher then men on IQ: http://www

And you are why no one takes white men complaining about feminists seriously... Care to back up any of your outrageous assertions? Do you actually know anything about feminism? Because all of your points have been addressed in feminist lite

On the other hand we have tons of data on how women in science are currently treated, and I don't think it's a huge leap to assume things used to be worse. So yes I'm pretty sure it's because she was a woman. "accor

The earth being 12,700km in diameter isn't a statistic, it's an observable, measurable, and testable fact. As for relevant statistics, since you mentioned u-turns: http://books.google.com/books?id=hct23LM0Y68C&

Yes I have seen people make u-turns in the dead of night when "no one" was around, and they proceeded to hit me while I was riding my bike. No one has 100% perfect situational awareness which is why traffic laws exist in the first

What situation would warrant breaking traffic laws without using light and sirens? It seems almost a tautology that doing so is a danger to everyone else on the road...

There are plenty of occupations where women are paid less for the same job. I'm perfectly happy to keep using the term wage gap. I switched to the term income gap because others were arguing about the gap in aggregate.
174.
by quinnchr 13y ago
I'm asking you to clarify your position. You seem to acknowledge that an income gap exists for women. You also asserted that it was because they choose to work less. I'd like to know if there's anything to back up your assert

Also, out of curiosity I looked through the first couple pages of Google results for "wage gap" and every single link I found makes the point that the gap depends on occupation and other factors. Where exactly is this misinformati

So on what information do you base the assumption that women choose to work fewer hours? And are you denying that there is in fact an income gap for women? Minorities also have an income gap and statistically speaking work fewer hours. Are

by quinnchr 13y ago
Well call it what you will, there is obviously some sort of gap. It seems a bit disingenuous to me to point out that a wage gap doesn't exist because women are payed the same as men but on average work lower paying jobs, or take time o

How is it not immoral? Why should employees work full time yet still need food stamps to get by, while employers see record profits? How is it moral to not pay someone a living wage, while the wages at the top go up? http://www.goodjobsfir
