Looking for superiority would make sense considering how much they keep feeling the need to bring up the past and remind everyone how evil men were toward women despite the death toll and the fact that men worked harder, more physical and dangerous jobs. I mean, god knows. It's so much harder to sit on your ass in the freezing winter, sewing, cooking or cleaning than being outside in sub-zero temperatures, chopping wood to keep everyone warm.

It's so great to hear women get resentful of birthing children. My mom was forced to live in hell for a couple of years like some WW2 vets in those 9 months and those few hours it took to push me out of her womb. You're right. Goddamn. Men have never suffered. They're only dying, treating each other like disposable pieces of meat while the same liberated women (post-suffragette women) they are trying to protect don't actually do enough to bring their boys home. They didn't raise hell for that like they did to get the vote. So, basically, men were the disposable sex and now, I really can't help but feel like we're the most undesirable sex.

In spite of what women want to believe about men and themselves, they still find them desirable and are, and always will be needy for them. Tongue in cheek; but to a gay guy like myself, I don't have any trouble finding many men desirableeven if they have been turned into manginas and I doubt many men, would want other men to find them desirable either.

You'r argument is about as stupid as this: "You have never visited the andromeda galaxy therefor you aren't as great as the aliens living there"

Yes but it must be hard to resist, considering the huge audience. But I agree they should resist the temptation.
BTW in your last line it says 'think-you.' Is that correct as to what Paddy remarked or did you mean 'thank-you'?

What if they don't do the same work? The same title doesn't mean the same work. Where I work, all of us with the same title are paid the same even though the men are required to do heavy lifting and the women are not.
Even the actors argument doesn't work. Number of movies doesn't dictate pay. Even among men, one well paying movie can net more than several others put together. The entire pay gap argument is based on skewed numbers and cherry picked examples. Look, businesses are greedy. Why would they pay to hire men when they could just hire all women cheaper? I have never once heard this really answered in any satisfactory way. We are just expected to swallow this narrative based on faulty comparisons. We have equality. The problem is that equality never looks as good as you romanticize it because the other person's grass is always greener. -

"Why would they pay to hire men when they could just hire all women cheaper? I have never once heard this really answered in 5b4any satisfactory way"
because the assumption is that women are actually worth less as employees.
it follows that 1 woman is less productive than 1 man.
it follows that a workforce of 10 women cannot match the output of 10 men.
it follows that you would have to hire 11+ women to match the output of 10 men.
therefore, it isnt cheaperyou pay less precisely because you get less.
the assumption is women produce less. -

If you have been out on the social scene, you know that men foot the bill the vast majority of time. So why is that ok for feminists? Men have higher expenses and are expected to pay for family, so it makes sense that they make a little more.
