    Uh I think the point is that people want to increase the amount of women working traditionally "male" jobs like doctors and lawyers in order to close the wage gap. Obviously tumblr feminists/"i listen to beyonce" feminists who are too dumb to understand this are awful but it's just as cringe that so many men are so scared of equality that they desperately try to validate their sexism and deny that inequality exists by posing all feminism as this nazi-like tumblr-wave bs. Literally all "feminism" means is to believe that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.

    Seriously, every time I've asked a feminist what purpose they believe to have in the US, 9 times out of 10, their answers will include "women make 77ยข for every man's $1 for the same exact work" and "1/3,4,5,6 (they can never agree on this number, though all are false) women are r---d".

    Both of these seem to be their major "points", and both of these are blatant lies/misrepresentations. We have politicians who very well know better, parroting this disproven "wage-gap" nonsense, probably as a way of pandering to whiney, ignorant millennialis who'd rather play victim then do an ounce of research on anything they say.

    Furthermore, when the facts are laid out clearly for these irrational buffoons, you'd think they'd be happy... Right? The "discrimination" they whine about doesn't actually exist, you'd think they'd be ecstatic... Wouldn't you?

    Nope. They throw a f---ing tantrum. What is with this desperation to play victim, where it's nowhere near rational?

    f---ing lolololol @ citing a men's rights blog called "Prawn of the Patriarchy". Read the about me: "This blog does not, however, shy away from discussing particular flaws apparent in some women."

    This blog is a perfect example of the mental gymnastics some of yall do to convince yourselves discrimination doesn't exist. Holy s---.

    Obviously every human being should be able to choose any career path they want so long as they are mentally/physically capable of fulfilling that role. There's nothing wrong with a man being a teacher/nurse and there's nothing wrong with a woman being a lawyer/doctor. That's a nonissue and it's missing the point, because clearly there's no law banning women from pursuing these jobs.

    This topic is complaining about people blindly following statistics yet you're hinging this topic on generalizations like "women just purposefully choose be teachers/nurses instead of choosing to be lawyers/doctors so it's not an issue." I don't have statistics in front of me either, and there probably are disproportionately more women who choose to be teachers/nurses. But for years it was engrained into society that there were "male" jobs and "female" jobs and you can't ignore that. It's not as overt anymore but the effects of this don't just go away overnight. It's going to take years, especially because people who were raised during that time period are still in the workforce. You're crazy if you think discrimination in these fields doesn't exist and that said discrimination doesn't affect the hiring/promotion process.

    99% of sewerage workers are male, don't hear any feminists complaining about that.

    It's not about being right. It's about saying what sounds nice.

    The problem I have with these vague studies is how unbelievably general they are.

    They aren't comparing male and females of the exact same job title, who work the exact same number of hours, with the same education, experience, and qualifications, who take equal time off.

    No, they're comparing ALL males, regardless of any of these factors, to ALL females, regardless of any of these factors. Taking into account the different choices men and women tend to make in regards to their careers, it becomes undeniably obvious that the gap is almost completely the result of choice.

    It's not "for the exact same work" in any little way. It's "in general". Comparing male doctors to female nurses, male lawyers to female teachers. Reaching the conclusion they do by these means, and representing it the way they do, is a blatant misrepresentation. To credit the gap completely to "discrimination" is just laughably false.

    I'm a feminist. I don't get wrapped up in statistics, but I do know that r---, human trafficking and domestic abuse are serious issues because a fraction of men don't care if they're assholes to women or not.

    lol no one reasonable is saying every single job should have a 50/50 gender split.

    So basically you're denying that discrimination in the job force exists in any capacity? You been on r/redpill too much brah.

    Ahhhh, see, now you're doing what the feminist that you hate oh so much do, just with a different argument.

    "The pay gap exists because of gender discrimination!"

    "No, it exists because of your career choice!"

    The pay gap exists for a multitude of reasons, not just one. Closing the gap completely may very well be impossible but working towards getting it as small as we can is a positive. What's so wrong about wanting women to thrive in the work force? I don't understand.
