Why was he mansplaining her?

I literally posted links and then quoted from them the reasons why. You scrolled pass the answers to write the very questions they do answer

Apparently we haven't come far enough, since we still got people misrepresenting science to justify their pre-conceived notions. 

In what way have I misrepresented science?

Talking about women's brains as causes for their choices while hand-waving environmental factors as if it were settled science is one fuckton of a misrepresentation.

 

But that's what alt-righters do.  We got a coal lobbyist in charge of the EPA, a president that thinks vaccines cause autism, a the white house is putting together a team of climate change deniers to counteract their own report that climate change is real.  Science denial and alt-right ideology go hand in hand.

Its not just about one thing. There are multiple reasons for women making less than a man in a year. There are scientific reasons, those are very real reasons, it is not sexist to talk about it.

 

Also if men are paid more than women why the fuck would a business want to hire men? Aren't businesses in the business of making profits? :drake:

I could pick fields were men make less than women on average. Would this help?  ok brb in an hour. 

Would it help your case?  No.  You'd just be arguing that the wage gap is a problem instead of failing to explain why it isn't.

ok that was a short game, easy win. 

 

I've asked you numerous times what you think a solution would be and you never reply to the question. 

 

I will definitely concede this particular area, if women are making less than men in the doctor profession after working the same hours etc then its wrong and needs to be corrected. I'd like to know what kind of doctor they are referring to, because a family doctor pretty much sets their own hours and can see as many patients in a day as they see fit up to government regulated limits. If a female doctor is seeing less than her limit she will be paid less for the day. And it has already been established by numerous studies that men choose on average to work more hours than women do. Men tend to live to work while women work to live. I know i know, thats sexist (no its not https://www.forbes.com/sites/karinagness/2016/06/30/new-report-men-work-longer-hours-than-women/#3b14237518b4 )

I don't believe anyone seriously arguing that women's brains are what keeps them from getting paid more is arguing in good faith.

Is that what you actually think my argument is? Is this what you have reduced it down to? "Cooke thinks women are inferior and should be paid less"

 

Really dude  :mj:
