I had to break this into three posts because it is so big that Reddit wouldn't let me post it otherwise.

Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur who is mainly running for President to draw attention to economic issues that he believes will become front-and-center as more and more US jobs become automated. He is a political outsider who is probably not likely to win, but we all know from the previous election that anything is possible in the current political climate.

His website has a ton of policy proposals, so there is probably a lot more that could be said about it than what I am mentioning here, but I made a short list of some of the men and/or MRA relavent issues that stood out to me, starting with two negative points and then moving on to the positive:

For most of this country’s history, marginalized groups were either not allowed to participate in certain jobs, or their opportunities in those professions were limited. This legacy persists today not only in the opportunities afforded to people, but also in the compensation people receive for performing the same work.

This is stupid. People should receive equal pay for doing equal work. While federal law requires this, we’re still far from achieving it in practice. There’s a lot of fuzziness around the $.80-to-the-dollar stat, especially once you take race as well as gender into account, but the simple fact remains that women — especially black, Hispanic, and Native American women — earn much less than their male coworkers.

Laws that prevent employers from retaliating against workers who share salary data, and others that force employers to disclose that information, are band-aids that try to account for the issue on the back-end. The federal government must do more to ensure that anyone performing the same work in substantially similar situations should receive equal pay.

The so-called "gender wage gap" referred to here is a very misleading statistic. This statistic makes it sound like pay discrimination against women is both extremely widespread and legally permitted. It is not, although obviously there will always be a few companies out there that break this law, just as with any other crime.

I have the feeling that if men became pregnant instead of women there would be absolutely no restriction on reproductive rights.

He didn't give any reasoning for why he believes this, but the implication seems to be that most women favor unrestricted abortion access while most men are against it, and therefore the majority-male Congress stubbornly refuses to abolish abortion restrictions to the chagrin of the majority of women. Given that men and women don't even differ significantly in their attitudes toward abortion, I cannot think of any way that his belief would be likely to be true. I am going to chalk this one up to either needless male-bashing or him being misled by popular feminist groups.

But now on to the positive:
