uh well no we've seen that women are paid less than men even in the same line of work -- the ledbetter act was based on a woman who was so unjustifiably denied standard compensation despite doing the job well for a very long time

if women were to flock to these jobs they would just be throwing their lives away for less, enriching old men the more

Is it also sexism that over 90% of on-the-job deaths are male?

basically everyone i know is pretty politically apathetic with the exception of three guys who now identify as libertarians: one who thinks the government is going to take his guns and throw him into a FEMA death camp any day now, one who is basically a neo-feudalist that likes to smoke weed, and one who thinks that society is going to collapse due to government restrictions on the "job creators" and that this will be his time to become leader of a post-apocalyptic society and organize against the "thugs" who will now rule the streets

it never ceases to amaze me how someone can be all about the rational, evidentiary analysis of one issue like gun control and then when they see the evidence contradicting their favoured beliefs on another subject they shove their fingers in their ears. like how green peace is always like "the science is settled!" on climate change, and they're mostly right about that, but then when the scientific consensus gets in the way of their fearmongering about GM food they suddenly don't believe in science at all.

I've noticed that the only people who rail on about sexism are ugly chicks, chicks with mental disorders and betas who are insistent that their girlfriends aren't mental/don't have girlfriends

yeah, your confirmation bias is showing

and in this case "confirmation bias" is a euphemism for "propensity to make things up in the belief they support your position"

tbh both sides of this debate are full of intensely retarded people because the problem isn't that GMOs may harm people (they probably won't) it's because some GMOs that are patented by under-regulated, evil companies could damage or supplant non-engineered strains of crops.

So if you potentially want monsanto to someday own a patent on the only form of corn that exists anymore yeah definitely perpetuate the idea that opposition to GMOs is something that only crazy people feel. I recognize that there are idiots that oppose GMOs that make it easier to perpetuate this idea though.

i went from being an armchair leftist to thinking structural inequalities are impossible to avoid when making policy decisions for populations above village-sized & that there is no utopic end state for the political left or right and instead they're caught in a biblical struggle with no resolution & that time and subjectivity distort just how liberated or oppressed the average person feels at any point in history. like humans have an incredible capacity to adapt to whatever they deem normal so i'm pretty confident the day to day subjective reality of (say) being a slave wasn't nearly as nightmarish as we project from our comfortable 21st century lived experience.

so basically i'm an anti-federalist namaste

lol you serious posted in the shitposting forum

i'm sure there's still a wage gap in certain industries but in general the "women are paid 77 cents to a man's dollar" statistic is flawed because you get it after lumping in a shitload of professions (boilermakers, for instance) where you get paid six figures and like 98% of people in the profession are men

also on average men under 30 are paid less per dollar then women under 30 so it's starting to go both ways

As former monkeys we really only 'believe' the things that help us better acclimate to, and climb the ranks of our social groups. We think we believe whatever is most likely to benefit us, whether its in terms of resources or social capital amongst like-minded individuals.

if we accept the premise of your claim, people who hate racists to get approval are better than people who get approval by streaming videogames or posting picture of their cats.
