and the pay gap becomes trivial.
And I think it's perfectly fair to say that while women have it worse in some ways, men also have it worse in others (of course that might get you labeled a sexist here).
Imagine the outcry if it was mostly women who occupied our prisons and were given harsher penalties for the same crimes, who dropped out of highschool, lived on the streets, died violently at young ages, became addicted to drugs and committed suicide.
We would be treated with hourly reports on the situation and how our horribly sexist society is waging a war on women.
But since all those things affect men. . . meh. Suck it up.
Oh and more than sucking it up, don't even mention it because that will get you labeled an anti-woman bigot.
Men aren't born monsters. What makes them so is the male paradigm of considering themselves predators and women prey.
Wow. Not some men. Just "men".
Imagine a post that pointed out how many women who lie about domestic abuse, rape there are that concludes with "women aren't born liars and manipulators. What makes them so is the female paradigm of considering themselves perpetual victims and men as nothing but predators".
That wouldn't go over so well. Not so?
