The Gender Tax Gap: Men Pay 200% More Taxes than Women

It's an interesting topic but garbage writing. This is the kind of thing that guides ridicule to us and will significantly hamper any "progress" we might make.

Give us facts, some nice talking points, and possible explanations or steps forward. We need to treat these problems more academically.

Antagonistic writing likes this is why people think we're all a group of basement-dwelling trolls. Even though there are definitely some interesting points, I have to ultimately call it a shit post.

This is for the UK. Men pay 60% more in tax than women.

The next link shows that women are the majority of recipients of public jobs and welfare. Paid for by tax receipts.

The UK also has socialised health care

Men are less likely to use the public healthcare services that they overwhelmingly pay for.

In the Uk, the government will pay you loans and bursaries to go to university, which women are more likely to do. Three quarters of students will never repay them.

You see what Im getting at here is that every man in the UK who works and pays taxes subsidises the health, education and employment of millions of women he has no obligations nor relationship to or with.

Yea, that seems like a trustworthy site. /s If you make a claim in an article, back it up. Where's the actual data?
