The feminist wage gap conspiracy theory is very similar to the satirical "Jew Gold" conspiracy theory that Cartman from South Park believes. He explains that all Jews have a secret bag of gold that they are given. Feminists in contrast spread the idea that men are given extra money by employers, just for being male.

Of the two it seems as if the Jew Gold theory is actually more believable. At least one could imagine the Jews all getting the Jew Gold from their parents. Men are just given money by complete strangers. And too it seems as if at some point at least one man somewhere in the world would step forward to blow the cover off the conspiracy and tell the women about the secret plot to pay men more and how it works. I mean some men are feminists. Why aren't they spilling the beans? Now Jews by contrast could keep their secret conspiracy about Jew Gold from non-believers much more easily.

It's funny how a satirical conspiracy theory (as far as I know the "Jew Gold" story was completely made up by South Park writers), is actually more "rational" than the myth feminists have made so popular even presidents parrot it.

But my real point in comparing the two is to ask why more MRAs don't see the Wage Gap myth as a hate filled conspiracy theory attacking men? Why don't they see that the purpose of the Wage Gap is to mount an attack on men, to make it easier for women to hate men? To dehumanize men as the enemy?

Seen in this light too many MRAs get lost in the weeds discussing this, the most famous of all feminist hate lies. They talk about how the wage gap is smaller than feminists say or whatever. That's a bit like someone "countering" the Jew Gold myth by saying oh well Jews don't all carry a full pouch of gold, some of them carry less".

You see?

You're inadvertently helping to spread the bigoted lie when you enter into the fantasy that feminists have set up. The only way to combat the lie is to say that it is a lie, and ask why feminists hate men so much that they have to lie to present them as immoral in this way. The first question I ask a feminist on the Wage Gap is simple: "do you know that is a lie, or are you saying that in ignorance?" And every time they know it is a lie.

The whole point of the Wage Gap myth is to say that men, like Jews, have this free money given to them, a free advantage just for being born a certain way, that men have it easy, and they make it worse on women. That men have an unfair advantage and are cheating women.

Do you think that is 20% true? Or 10% true? It's utterly and disgustingly false.

The Wage Gap myth says women are paid less for the exact same work, which is a lie, an outright lie, a lie made knowing it is false. A deliberate and malicious falsehood intended to denigrate an entire birth group.

There's no such thing as "Jew Gold". And there's no such conspiracy theory, but the Wage Gap is pretty much the exact same concept. Give me your man gold, say the feminists. We know you've got your man gold, so give it to us.
