| 1 | CBS reporter says White House knew 77 cent wage gap claim false and part of a deliberate strategy aimed at the November electionSorry if I come off as jaded and somewhat contemptuous of other people, but quite frankly, after having to live with them my whole life I kinda am... No, I see where you're coming from. It's maddening sometimes, even if you're able to remove yourself from the situation. After it happens x number of times, you're gonna harbor ill sentiments. I won't touch the body fat comments, that's the bat signal for SRS :) I tend to agree with what you said, though. | /r/MensRights | 18/04/14 12:57 AM |
| 2 | CBS reporter says White House knew 77 cent wage gap claim false and part of a deliberate strategy aimed at the November electionThis is a basic skill that any functioning member of society SHOULD have. It would be great if this held true in the real world, but it doesn't and so the burden of helping the uninformed rests on those who are able to show (rather than tell) them their outstanding errors. If they lack fundamental ability to make good decisions in negatively impacts me, potentially severely, and I have every right to not be happy about that. I would say that this is the essence of the issue. I agree, you have ev… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/14 11:49 PM |
| 2 | CBS reporter says White House knew 77 cent wage gap claim false and part of a deliberate strategy aimed at the November electionMy guess is pandering. They knew that there are enough people to buy in to the notion that equal wages across genders is the result to work for, without looking deeper into the issue. Quick comparison: how many votes do you think a politician can accrue by saying "we should close the male-female wage gap" versus how many they can gain [or lose] by saying "the wage gap is likely a red herring and we should shift attention to issues with more substantial indications of a gender disparity"?

| 1 | CBS reporter says White House knew 77 cent wage gap claim false and part of a deliberate strategy aimed at the November electionwe aren't addressing them here are we? We are not, but straight up calling them retarded to their face wouldn't be a great method for convincing them, but quite frankly, it's kinda true. Being uninformed does not necessarily make someone stupid. However, (a) refusing to consider the other side's argument and (b) if proven wrong, refusing to shift your belief probably would. The point of a debate is to compare ideas with good evidence to see which holds more water. I don't think assuming the oppo… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/14 11:10 PM |
| 1 | CBS reporter says White House knew 77 cent wage gap claim false and part of a deliberate strategy aimed at the November electionThat is fair. I guess what I was trying to imply is that prefacing the debate with calling the opposition "retarded" does nothing in the way of actually explaining the caveats of the issue to them; the point can be reasoned sans (and I use this term cautiously) ad hominem. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone willing to listen when you begin by insulting their intelligence (regardless of what you/they believe). | /r/MensRights | 17/04/14 09:53 PM |
| 8 | CBS reporter says White House knew 77 cent wage gap claim false and part of a deliberate strategy aimed at the November electionI don't know if I agree. A lot of people will look at the stat and think no deeper than "well they aren't the same number so we should work to raise females' wage." Still, I know for a fact that other people understand that there's a multitude of factors at play that, together, result in the wage "gap". It's important to not alienate people only because they haven't done enough research on the issue, that effort would be better served in level-headed back-and-forth dialogue to explain why the di… | /r/MensRights | 17/04/14 09:19 PM |
