I love AOC. Shes the gift that keeps on giving.

Who is denying that climate change exists? The climate is always changing. As AOC said, this is "our World War 2".

You would probably have to translate the job posting as it would be posted in Iran or Saudi Arabia.

The Gender Pay Gap
While it's clear there are those who have blindly chosen to believe that a gender pay gap exists without any real proof, the example provided does highlight a dangerous consequence of an imaginary problem and unworkable principles being applied to "solve" said problem. Real gender and sex discrimination being exercised to combat fake gender and sex discrimination. And that helps no one. It's clear to me that there are certain people who will always trust something is real, as long as the information comes from a source that they trust, and aligns with their confirmation biases. This is true no matter what side they are on, right or left. And these people can be counted on to defend the indefensible and imaginary, no matter what. And tell everyone else that they are the ones with the closed minds. And if that fails, start talking about man-made climate change.

Did you mean man made climate change or natural climate change? You didn't specify.

The Gender Pay Gap
There is definitely a lot if deliberate obtuseness going on here for sure. Like saying someone has cited "an example or two". Where? When??? My buddy tried to apply for the RCMP. He was told to get lost. Meanwhile women were being told to apply and were encouraged to apply. Is this an example of a gender pay gap against men, or is it just blatant discrimination?

The Gender Pay Gap
But it appears to be easy to be willfully blind when you never question or think about what you've been told is "truth". Questioning internal confirmation biases is a good thing. Try it some time.

The Gender Pay Gap
I think you are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, purely to try and defend an imaginary issue created by politicians to generate a victimhood mentality.

Don't know what this means Mark, but I know the feeling when dealing with people trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

The Gender Pay Gap
So then if the opposite happened and a woman was given the higher role after being trained by a man, then you would agree that there is a gender pay gap that discriminates against men? Really?

US Politics
And yet this is the party that knifed your boy Bernie in the back, and you say that they don't support dishonesty and mendacity? What was that you were saying about ****-posting and ignoring facts?

So you were talking about Democrats....

Which is why there are also people who vote Democrat...

What is another way?

The Gender Pay Gap
I agree that your example has nothing to do with the gender pay gap, if it exists at all.
-
The Environment Thread
So they have never experienced anything like this before ever? And there is no other explanation? It has to be "man-made" climate change (I assume that is what you meant)?

It suddenly got really quiet in here....everyone is probably too cold to post right now!

The Gender Pay Gap
The union and the government feeling that there aren't enough women in admin is not evidence of a pay gap, it just means that less women are applying for admin jobs. Or there is sexism. Or something else. The only way a "pay gap" would exist is if women are working the same jobs as men in admin and being paid less for that job. Do you know if this is happening?

The Gender Pay Gap
about the gender pay gap? Where? When?? the only bull**** being exhibited here is you making excuses for why there is no evidence that the gender pay gap exists. I'm not teeing off on Hillary at all. Please post some links from her.

Maybe he can join Burmi in the KHL. I see Postma is there now.

The Gender Pay Gap
I call BS on this. I say that no one can find any evidence and so grasp at straws instead rather than admit that they've potentially bought into a giant pile of hooey. I do love it though when its everyone else who has the "closed mind" on issues like this, by asking questions. That 9ne made me laugh. Not really. If one focuses on the actual arguments rather than making up excuses to hide or derail, it just shows that they really have nothing to back up their argument. If she had a relevant point to the discussion I would love it! Like you feel with Milo, I find Hillary to be a "vile person", but if she has a view and it isnt just unproven dogma I would want to hear it. For sure. For instance, when she was practicing law, did she get paid less than other lawyers who were defending rapists? That would be interesting to hear, though it was a long time ago.
