2	An honest wish of a Dad I appreciate the civilized reply. Could you point me to data covering your three speaking points? I am open to changing my mind given new information. Google itself is being investigated for underpaying women, I linked to an article in one of my replies.	/r/MensRights	15/08/17 08:53 PM
0	An honest wish of a Dad Being in a position of oppression does not turn one into a victim despite the popular narrative. Please take a look at Aurora Morales' Medicine Stories. Her take on oppressive structures, on owning one's history (almost impossible but crucial for women and people of color; almost impossible because of colonialism's conscious continuous effort to obfuscate and rewrite history) honoring one's peoples' strength, ingenuity, resilience is mindblowingly empowering and couldn't be further from victim h…	/r/MensRights	15/08/17 07:52 PM
2	An honest wish of a Dad Thank you, this was a very extensive reply. The parts referring to women's experiences and choices contradict some of my conversations with women. When presented with such a contradiction I put more weight on the person with first hand experience. This happens to be a dividing line in the women's rights discourse -- can we trust their experience over our interpretation. Trusting is difficult. My point -- lost on many -- is that his daughter's values do not depend on this situation. Stating other…	/r/MensRights	15/08/17 07:40 PM
1	An honest wish of a Dad Point taken. May I interest you in a take on this by a Stanford statistics professor who makes a good case about the irrelevance of data in relationship to the google "manifesto" specifically? https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/8/11/16130452/google-memo-women-tech-biology-sexism I found this poignant and worth my time.	/r/MensRights	15/08/17 05:58 AM
-4	An honest wish of a Dad The US Department of Labor found in April that there were systemic issues with equal pay across the company, and described discrimination there as “quite extreme”. The document (letter) also claims that the gender wage gap is a myth, but Google is locked in an ongoing battle with US labour regulators claiming to have evidence that the company systematically undercompensates women. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/06/google-staffers-manifesto-against-affirmative-act…	/r/MensRights	15/08/17 01:10 AM
1	An honest wish of a Dad I distaste the firing... wasn't aware of further action.	/r/MensRights	15/08/17 12:57 AM
2	An honest wish of a Dad I do not know of studies that present raw data. I trust that your research skills are as good as or better than mine.	/r/MensRights	14/08/17 11:13 PM
-10	An honest wish of a Dad I am male, remember? And yet, as someone raised by a single mom (divorce rate in the U.S. is 50%), I do know that women get paid less and have to deal with much more crap than I do. The tweet we are analyzing to (and beyond) death is a good example of beliefs men hold about women. The guy addresses (passive/aggressively!) the women of the stereotype he believes in. We applaud. As much as I like my bros, I also like logic. Do affirmative action laws get abused? For sure, any loophole will be expl…	/r/MensRights	14/08/17 10:09 PM
-1	An honest wish of a Dad Lots of studies are available. I think US studies show preference for male name candidates. https://www.google.com/search?q=united+states+resume+study+women+inequality&oq=united+states+resume+study+women+inequality&gs_l=psy-ab.3...13970.15840.0.16093.11.8.0.0.0.0.284.771.2-3.3.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..8.0.0.5EayWX2FtyA	/r/MensRights	14/08/17 09:55 PM
-29	An honest wish of a Dad Which carries the notion that women do use their "diversity" to get free promotions. Which conveys his opinion of women which opinion coincides with the sexist worldview. Without seeing a list of women abusing their ethnicity status to get promotion I call bs on that as a white man's bonfire horror story. If this was a serious issue, our bosses would be black women and not white men. Edit: Do downvotes mean "I disagree, so I'd like to censor this viewpoint?"	/r/MensRights	14/08/17 08:59 PM
-1	An honest wish of a Dad Just pointing out the implicit logic behind those statements for people who could use it :)	/r/MensRights	14/08/17 08:46 PM
-43	An honest wish of a Dad I am a guy. He seems to presume that his girl is not intelligent enough to know when she needs to report abuse and will get confused by believing that reporting abuse is a sure way to enrich herself, oblivious of the tremendous personal costs. He seems to believe that he knows why women do report to HR and that their reason is financial gain. As a part of this he seems to believe that he knows their reasons better than they do. His sentiment seems to be about women talking to HR. Not sure if the…	/r/MensRights	14/08/17 05:51 PM
