0	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs Why on earth do you keep thinking I'm going to have this conversation with you? You've already responded to me in a bad faith, editing what you had written then when I asked you how your response relates to the topic at hand, so you could pretend that you had written about the BBC all along, and then insulted my intellect in the process. If I was going to debate this with you I would be subjected to a barrage of insults as you play fast and loose with the truth, as you have already proven your…	/r/MensRights	28/10/18 08:33 PM
0	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs At the BBC we know full well why Carrie Grace got paid a bit less as China editer than the America and Brussels editers. If you can't see that people are more interested in Trump and Brexit than they are in China, and that as a result those stations are on air 24/7 whereas the Beijing reporter is just once a week on Radio 4, then I'm afraid you're simply deluded. Sir Bruce Forsyth got paid loads more than Tess Dailey on Strictly Come Dancing. Was that gender discrimination? After all, they were …	/r/MensRights	28/10/18 07:01 PM
0	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs Original comment for posterity #NotEditedThatMuch "The fact that men are 98%+ of all workplace deaths and serious injuries, or spend more time commuting, never seems to be raised or questioned by feminists. It seems to be simply shrugged-off as a mater of individual choice. If this gender discrepancy can be dismissed so easily, then it gives rise to the strong suspicion that feminists/SJWs are simply greedily wanting money?"	/r/MensRights	28/10/18 06:03 PM
1	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs No I'm fucking sorry buddy, your original argument was along the lines of, Men commute more and take on more dangerous jobs. At no point did you in any way reference the BBC as you do in your edit. So you got called out on it because you wrote something that had no relevance to the topic, but wanted to have a debate about it. Then you have the audacity to try and gaslight me as if I had no idea what you'd written an hour ago and no idea what the "this comment was edited" written above it meant. …	/r/MensRights	28/10/18 05:47 PM
1	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs You know it shows when you've edited your comment right? Edit: like, really such a troll thing to change what you've written then call me out as if that's what you wrote originally, just pathetic	/r/MensRights	28/10/18 05:32 PM
1	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs And this is to do with gender bias at the BBC... how exactly?	/r/MensRights	28/10/18 03:00 PM
1	Driverless cars: Who should die in a crash? - "[...] trends of saving females over males, saving those of higher status over poorer people, and saving pedestrians rather than passengers." you need to be more specific	/r/MensRights	28/10/18 01:31 AM
1	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs A bit disingenuous as the next line is "But it shows we have real and important issues to tackle... and I'm determined to get it right." Have a good weekend buddy, take it easy :P	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 05:53 PM
1	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs Did you read the Forbes article? Yes, I am aware of how the 78 cents argument is bullshit, there was no question attached to it. Have you come up with a statistical tool I was using? I am still waiting, but I can still take my time on that if you need more. Again, this is a matter of operational inefficiency, NOT gender discrimination. See what I did was find a statement, from the BBC, talking about the pay gap in which they acknowledged they failed in their obligation to pay the China and North…	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 05:01 PM
1	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs Again I think you are just responding and not reading. My feeling right now is that you are so entrenched in your opinion you are picking a narrative and not thinking, stop and consider what you are saying, read the statements ffs. Here is the JOINT statement from the BBC and Gracie " The BBC acknowledges that Carrie was told she would be paid in line with the North America Editor when she took the role of China Editor, and she accepted the role on that understanding. The BBC is committed to t…	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 03:58 PM
0	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs "Theres no evidence of discriminatory practice" https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jun/29/bbc-reach-equal-pay-deal-with-former-china-editor-carrie-gracie "I have read what you posted," No you haven't or you would have read the above link.	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 03:24 PM
11	I got banned for posting an image in which nowhere do I criticise feminism, but they still ban me. No wonder nobody takes these people seriously Even still, if you are messaging the r/feminism mods from an account with the name "suck my cock bitches", what response are you hoping for exactly? Maybe you are getting banned for posting politics into a female issues subreddit, then for whatever reason, they aren't into talking to mr suck my dick bitches about his alt-account getting banned. 100% agree with McPuccio, seems like you are starting drama to circle jerk with. edit: " Informativity rule: all ideological considerations must show act…	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 03:17 PM
-2	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs What statistical tool am I using? I've challenged your assertion of there being no pay discrimination with direct testimony. "Many female BBC employees told the committee anonymously that they had been offered pay rises in response to equal pay complaints, while simultaneously being told there were no equal pay issues in their case " An admission of guilt from the director of the BBC Director General, Tony Hall, said: “Fairness in pay is vital. We have pledged to close the gender pay gap by 2020…	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 03:04 PM

My own research into this I couldn't find anything supporting the likelihood of being raped being equal. To quote this short PDF from NSVRC "One in five women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives" which seems far from the one to one rape comparison you have stated.	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 02:50 PM
-1	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs Dude read your source. Don't just read the title. Don't just read the cliff notes and say, well I'm done thinking for the day. In your source pay disparity was listed at 9%, lower than the 16% national average, but that is still a disparity, but they pledged to reduce it because as a publically funded company, they are expected to be exemplary, Tony Hall wasn't going for a soundbite, he's listing that there is a problem. While there is no systematic discrimination, there is still differences in …	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 02:42 PM
0	BBC has failed on equal pay say MPs On your article Tony Hall admits the pay gap exists in the bbc Director General, Tony Hall, said: “Fairness in pay is vital. We have pledged to close the gender pay gap by 2020 and have targets for equality and diversity on our airwaves. We have done a lot already, but we have more to do."	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 01:40 PM
1	Driverless cars: Who should die in a crash? - "[...] trends of saving females over males, saving those of higher status over poorer people, and saving pedestrians rather than passengers." I don't think something has to fail in order for an accident to occur, and I don't believe that humanity will ever achieve omniscience, ergo I believe we should plan for the worst case. Your sentiment of treating all life (human?) equal is admirable, and I think that is echoed by German law makers as is described within the article. However, I'm not a moral absolutist, I think we will run into areas where we will have to decide who lives or dies, take the scene from I Robot, machines do not have…	/r/MensRights	27/10/18 12:17 AM
11	Facebook toxic masculinity can go fuck itself Probably the best piece of advice I'll ever/have ever been given.	/r/MensRights	26/10/18 11:25 PM
8	Driverless cars: Who should die in a crash? - "[...] trends of saving females over males, saving those of higher status over poorer people, and saving pedestrians rather than passengers." I think you are overreading the experiment, obviously researchers want these cars to be safe, and obviously researchers are making cars as safe as they possibly can. However this research is based on the inevitability that at some point you will be stuck in a trolley problem in which a computer will have to decide how to minimise loss of life given moral and social constrictions, and to do that you need a data set. This is that data set. There's nothing wrong with saying that researchers should …	/r/MensRights	26/10/18 11:11 PM
2	Quick Question I think the argument is that in some sectors of society men do use their privilege to get whatever they want. See Phillip Green, Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, etc etc. Personally I think it's a problem with the wealthy echelons of society using their power and influence, but due to primarily historical influence from when being a man played a larger role in society, the majority of the people and clubs/fraternities that dictate this behaviour tend to be men.	/r/MensRights	26/10/18 11:06 PM
