Apparently workplace fatalities don't count

Your argument was rational. Their's was hysterical.

Yes it's true that men choose to work dangerous jobs (some of them anyway; the majority of the world's slaves are men). It's also true that some women are sloppy with birth control, choose not to take day after pills, choose not to have abortions, and choose not to give the child up for adoption. Men have no such choices.

We're dealing here with logic vs hysterical irrationality or feelz before realz. You can't "win" the argument because you and those posters are arguing from two different places.

The entire post is a shitshow, but I specifically want to comment on:

Women could DIE, but yeah, you maybe having to pay some percentage of your paycheck is soooo much worse.

AND

Meanwhile, whether you pay child support or not, someone else having a kid doesn't endanger your life in even the tiniest way. You have ZERO risk.

I point out workplace fatalities, but of course those conveniently "don't count" because it doesn't fit into their neat little agenda.

Women die in childbirth: stop the presses! And yes, it is a big deal, I agree. The U.S. is the worst among industrialized nations for maternal deaths. It's a big deal, and pregnancy undeniably carries risk.

But men dying in workplace fatalities are apparently of no concern. Earning money to pay child support is ZERO risk, if you'd believe the comments.

I'd be curious to calculate chance of death for any pregnancy for the woman vs. for the man. For the man, we can either extrapolate the risk from working extra hours, or we can extrapolate the risk of working extra years due to delayed retirement. And let's not forget that traffic fatalities due to commuting to/from work as well. I know these workplace and commuting deaths don't count, but "just for fun."

More men die in workplace fatalities than women are raped. But apparently rape is worse than death to women.
