Okay, I got into this discussion on my class facebook (they'd made a post advertising the feminist fundraiser they're doing). I was wondering if I worded something badly or misphrased something which would give them a valid reason to attack my argument. I don't see any, but I'm biased in this matter. I am honestly looking for anyone who sees bad phrasing or mistakes, to bring them to my attention, so I know what to avoid. Thanks, everybody!
Update:
On the same post, but out of the comment thread, someone posted this. I think it might be directed at me...
Update:
Had a brief conversation with purple person.
(Another guy talking to her): "There is not really good research on the causes of the wage gap."
Me: "There have been a few comprenhensive studies, two which are widely cited."
Her: "You're a white man, I don't want to hear what you have to say."
Me: "That's sexist."
Her: "I'm not sexist."
Me: "By definition, what you said was sexist. You say what I say doesn't matter based on my gender."
Her: "I just don't want to hear from you."
Me: "That's fine, but I'm not just talking to you."
Another girl: "She doesn't want to hear from you."
Me: "I wasn't just talking to her"
The other girl: "Who were you talking to, then?
Me: "The conversation as a whole"
The other girl: "No one was listening to you."
Another guy: "I was listening."

Lol. Your first mistake was trying to act superior while bashing feminists and derailing them online. Nobody cares if Men want to give their money to women and women get to spend that. Stop trying to control what people get to do with their money.
They were actually trying to address social pressures forcing women to be in positions that don't have as much power. Two completely separate topics, one of which matters and the other of which some dork on the internet felt he had to lecture women about.
