She deleted the post. Originally, she was trying to explain away why men die sooner than women and why women get to spend more.

Kind of ironic she would criticize Scott Adams in one post while pulling a Scott Adams herself in another post.

Does anyone have the original post?

Made it to the part where she comments on circumcision before I realized how daft this bitch was, promptly exited tab.

Because those areas are what we call male dominated, meaning chock full of men, with nary a woman in sight. Unless Adams means that women rule everything else? Politics? The media? Religious organizations? Academia?

Politics: Women are the majority of the voters.
Media: Women's rights and women's concerns are regularly reported on, men's are not.
Religious organizations: The most influential religion in the world preaches a mythology that puts a woman as the one human being who came closest to God through the natural processes of the female body.
Academia: Er... um... Women's studies? Women are the majority of college students and graduates.

And we can add several other categories of female-dominance:

Family life and the raising of children
Early childhood education

He certainly thinks that women are emotion-driven creatures incapable of logical arguments

That pretty much sums up my experiences...

Not too bad.

This is an interesting idea:

"Neither system is ideal, of course. The "ideal" would be to get better information on the driving habits of individuals so that insurance companies didn't use gender as a proxy."

Unfortunately, the author doesn't consider that it could also be applied to health insurance:

"women, on average, use more health care services until a certain age"

One reason that women spend more money on health insurance is that many cancers which are women specific (or nearly so - as in breast cancer) have detailed screening procedures. Such procedures are possible for things like testicular cancer which are male specific or other cancers such as bowel cancer which lean more heavily towards men, but such screening procedures have never been developed or codified.

Echidne is an economics prof. If you're actually interested in what the wage gap is and how it operates in the contemporary labor market, then you might want to spend some time on the three-part series she links to in that blog post.

If you just want create another example of hostile MRAs throwing a little random gender-based hatred at a person who made an argument that they think might differ from their ideology, well, mission accomplished.
