    Agreed Davis is likely to surprise a few folks with his play. He's better than Manziel IMHO.  We groomed him here and then just let him walk for nothing.

    But back to the gender pay gap. Still we have yet to see any evidence that it exists. We have seen attacks on people who say it doesn't exist, and the invocation of the word "hate". I think that this word does come into play in this discussion,  but in a total opposite way.
    I think there definitely is some hate here, towards a certain gender, and this is what is allowing the tolerance of actual discrimination to combat fake discrimination.  Instead of misogyny,  we have blatant misandry. And that just is wrong.

    It was totally besmirching his reputation because he was slandering a fellow Canadian and big supporter of Canadian aboriginals based on blatantly false information.  It made him look extremely silly. And you would think a Canadian senator would want to avoid looking silly.
    All the more reason he shouldn't be tweeting nonsense about an FA supporter being racist. Shame on him indeed.

    Technically it's not.  The lady at the bar wanted to be called an Indian and not a Native American.  So blame her for him calling her what she asked him to call her.
    People complained when he wouldn't call trans people by their made up pronoun, and now they're complaining when he calls someone the name of the race she wants to be called and everyone is triggered by it because most Natives don't like the being called that.  It's like the whole Edmonton Eskimo's thing.  Most Inuit's don't care if they use the term, there's only a very small minority who do, but SJW's come out of the woodwork to defend the small minority because VICTIMS!
    But if you were to see what he said as an outsider, I can understand why people would think he was being racist.

    Apparently you take everything at face value and don't look into what the tweet meant.  Did you happen to read the explanation behind why he said another Indian stole his bottle?
     

     
    You people are really sad to attack Jordan Peterson.  What you're saying is slander.  He's not a white supremacist, like AT ALL.  And I'm sure KBF has watched and read many things on him as have I.  Maybe it's YOU who needs to look them up in a biased way instead of just reading stupid tweets about him and judging him that way.  He's an incredibly intelligent and open minded guy if you actually listen to him.  But I doubt you'll do that because you'd rather just label him as you already have and want to see him as some "evildoer".  I'm sure you probably think the Jewish Ben Shapiro is a white supremacist nazi too.
    Sometimes some of you people make me sad at the lack of open mindedness you have.  You spout off about Feminism and accepting of LBGT community, etc... yet you close your minds down at anything that goes against those far left beliefs.
    And those of you who are bringing Climate Change into this thread.  All you're trying to do is discredit KBF and whoever else by bringing up something that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.  Usually people do that when they are losing an argument.

    No, you just choose to be ignorant. Or, is it something else? 
     
    I saw this the other day and thought of you and the other deniers. It's convenient to ignore and deny things because it might actually hurt you. It's the same thing in the climate change thread.

    If you want to believe in goofy faux-science theories—from the flat earth to cupping—it’s pretty easy nowadays to find a like-minded friend
     
    That's exactly what this is. Ignorance and hate. 
     
    Jordan Peterson, the white supremacist, was used to defend your position. Pretty much sums up the whole argument right there.

    Mark just as incredulous as you are, I am just as incredulous that you think the example you gave is "an example of the gender pay gap". It isn't. Not even close.  What are are starting is a make believe "issue" that is unfortunately causing real world consequences, and actual gender discrimination. 
    For example, my friend that teaches high level math and engineering is super frustrated because he says it is basically impossible to fail any of his female students. All post graduate scholarships are going to female students, despite their grades being sub-par and artificially supported, and despite many more deserving candidates with much higher grades, who have made the cardinal sin of having a penis. He says that this is going on across Canada. Is this fair? Is this right? Or is it just a knee-jerk reaction to an imaginary problem?
    I talked to my parents, who both were teachers, and asked them about this horrible situation of male dominated admin in the Manitoba teaching profession.  Both of them didn't know what you were talking about, and my mom was quite offended that anyone would need to "help" her get an job in admin, just because she is a woman. They both agreed that this sounded like a completely invented problem.
    And if we really going to talk about "difference of opportunity", why is it ok to limit the opportunity of males to get scholarships and join the RCMP? Why is actual discrimination a "solution" to fake discrimination? This just makes no sense, and just seems inherently wrong.

    The only ignorance being demonstrated here seems to be coming from those that choose to believe that something exists without having any proof whatsoever.  That's the very definition of ignorance. 
    And here you go, Godwinning the thread. You are one step away from going full Hitler. Why do people get so worked up when apparent "truths" they have swallowed wholesale without proof get questioned? What are you so afraid of? And going to the "hate" well just shows that you have lost the argument. 
    Jordan Peterson is not a white supremacist.  That's just garbage. If he is then someone should tell the First Nations who he has done so much work for and helped.  Having to reach with a giant lie like this in desperation pretty much sums up the whole argument right there.
    Whoever told you this nonsense about Peterson is scared, and doesn'twant you to see the bigger picture, or bother to think. You really need to de-friend them immediately.

    Not really. What is happening here, and no one has actually shown anything to the contrary  is that this is a completely imaginary and invented "problem" and call it "difficult and complex" when it really isn't.  As I have said many times, all of the "difficult and complexers" here should watch the video in the OP. And give me your opinions.

    Lol this is an extreme reach to justify the argument.  
    One (albeit very poor) example does not mean that this is a real issue.    
    When folks like Mark become pedantic then it's clear that they have zero argument and are either blind-fully following what they read or are just trying to troll.  
    I'll gladly read any job postings Mark that you can find on larger companies that have in that posting  where it shows that they pay a higher wage based on gender.

    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?

    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?

    Using one off examples isn't showing that their is an issue.   
    The closest I've ever seen of any favoritism in hiring practices is with the federal gov't clearly stating that visible minorities and indigenous people will be given preference for the jobs.   Now that IMO is a clear indication of choosing someone over someone else for the wrong reasons.
    I'm still waiting for real examples of places having hiring practices where they pay one gender more then another.   The example given was a male doing a lateral to a different area of his work and that is super common practice everywhere.   
    Nobody can give real examples so clearly it doesn't exist.

    Just because you think someone is vile doesn't make it so.. it seems like the main criterion for being "vile" is that they disagree with whatever is "acceptable" according to the radical left. But he's not the only one in the video. And you know that. This smells like another derailment attempt.
