Talk about one single statement being packed with tons of hypocrisy, irony and lack of self awareness all in one. I may post videos you disagree with, just as you post stuff I disagree with, however I never advocate violence, at least not to my knowledge. You on the other hand talk about "throat punches" (in this thread!!) and wish death upon people who disagree with you. And you are going to lecture me on how my posts reflect on me? Is this a sick joke? I do regret posting the Mark Dice video (can't remember why I did) in this thread as I should have known that it would trigger the usual suspects, and worse, provide a perfect excuse to derail this thread. I've noticed that this topic makes some people uncomfortable, mostly because it questions a basic (and so far unproven) societal "truth", that turns out to be not true at all. And that's healthy I think, to question ideas and accepted "truths". We all live in bubbles of our own creation. So we surround ourselves with people who think like us. It would be exhausting otherwise. In your bubble of friends, you probably are told that "throat punches" against those who have different views are a good idea. I don't think so. So I will continue to post videos that offend you, and you can continue to propose violence and death as solutions and offend me. As Jordan Peterson says (oh no another trigger warning) "in order to think you must be offensive" or something to that effect. Now back to the topic: Gender pay gap - does it exist? I say no. Change my mind.

https://vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/douglas-todd-surprise-rising-equality-is-accentuating-male-and-female-differences Given the mostly outdoor and often high-risk nature of such men’s jobs, it’s no wonder that males account for nine out of 10 workplace deaths. As Pinker has found, women prefer “meaningful and connected jobs,” as well as working part time. Men are more likely to take harsh full-time jobs to earn more money and provide for their children and spouse.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I say the answer is: no

So are you saying that there are a disproportionate number of men being promoted to management in the teaching profession in Manitoba? If so, is this due to blatant sexism, or could there be other factors at play here?

And uppity men folk will want to know why their life expectancy is 4 years less than women, and their suicide rate is 3.5x higher, with no one really giving a ****....

I watch all the games online through Rogers Gamecenter so I don't see any ads.

This was exactly Jordan Peterson's point. In Scandinavian societies where they have bent over backwards to be as equal as possible, more women gravitate to health care and lower paying jobs with more time off. You can't fight human nature.

Sounds more like people with closed minds who are trying to rationalize away any challenges to established and probably incorrectly held "beliefs" that society has been force-fed and told to be true, and then reinforced with immediate insults if challenged, in this case "misogynist" is always the "go to" should established norms be questioned. I am glad so far this thread hasn't devolved into that. Though it would be nice if someone could explain what Bilderburg is.

So if you watch the video I posted to start the thread, this is no different than the male CEO situation and the prior generation, and will correct itself as the new generation takes over. So not really an issue at all.

I agree. It seems to me that those who want to push this pay gap concept are doing so purely for political purposes. If you watch the first video that I posted that was one of the points of the feminist author. There seems to be an entire industry built around perpetuating this victimhood mentality, and those pre-disposed to believe it exists because it conforms with their biases will continue to believe it, no matter what.

"Combats GPG". By just complying with the law?

Do you make more than female teachers?

What research?

Research by whom? I've been in the work force 30 years now and have never seen this "gap". I have never met anyone else who has seen it. Yet it's just accepted that this gap exists. Why can't anyone ask questions, especially surrounding the validity of the assumptions?

You really have a problem with disagreeing opinions.

No idea what commercials people are talking about.

What's your point? They are a couple?

Its not that hard to understand. Is there a gender pay gap? I personally think that it doesn't exist.

Is this not sexist?

Other than Loni Anderson's heart....

Mentally the Jets just aren't present. They beat Nashville. This was supposed to be easy. "Classic trap game" as they say.

yeah don't do what they did with Vegas and trade draft picks to avoid losing a career AHL'er like Dano...

Someone should have told this guy in 1995...

taxes are lower I believe. Other than that, downtown Vegas vs downtown Winnipeg, not much difference really? 😁
