The so-called "wage gap" isn't real.


Men can't legally just back out of pregnancies they want no part of, as far as I'm aware. They can still be liable for child support later on if the mother chooses to go after it, even if they're not part of the child's life.

Yep.

Critical thinking, critical thinking. If you support the state forcing the mother to have the child, then you should support the state forcing the father to take of it.

Sure, I don't necessarily have an issue with that. I suspect, however, that many of those making that argument wouldn't support the reverse: if a mother is freely permitted to terminate a pregnancy or unilaterally decide not to actually raise the child, a father should also be able to totally forfeit all rights to the child and by extension be free of any sort of liability for that child (or something to that effect). Would you support such a thing? Do you think many would?

Maybe next time figure out what I'm trying to say rather than just assuming I've put no thought into something.

It's not fair, but the two aren't comparable. In one there's a baby requiring support, in the other, there isn't.

Which is a fair point. I guess I'll just reiterate my original point that the image I quoted makes an argument that doesn't make sense, because men already can't back out of pregnancies regardless of whether abortion is an option or not.

Seems no thought was put into that post either.

To answer the quewstion, uh, yeah. If they don't want the kid, they don't want the kid. Very stupid to force three people into a situation they don't want to be in. That's why it's a good thing the woman has the right to make the decision.

And what exactly do you base that on?

Good for you. I've asked others the same question and been told that it's entirely up to the woman, and if she wants to keep the kid, the man should not have any right to get out of the arrangement and avoid being financially liable for the kid. Hence, the question.

That's why it's a good thing the woman has the right to make the decision.

Sure, but that's not the point I was raising. The original point was that, one, that meme was stupid because men already can't just walk away from an unwanted pregnancy, and two, many who make that sort of argument would not conversely allow both men and women decide to forfeit responsibility for an unwanted pregnancy. They're fine with women using abortion as birth control, but if the father decides he doesn't want any part of it, well, too bad. If she keeps it, you're still on the hook regardless.

Armoured addressed that line of questioning and made a good point about it. All you've done so far is assume I'm posting with no thought put into what I'm saying.

Please keep the hypothetical scenarios consistant.

The point of the meme was missed, that what I addressed. Armoured addressed that as well.

but the two aren't comparable.

Godwin's Law strikes again. But see how easy it is to play that game?

When the alternative is not only the King, but poster child for corporate greed, endorsing the lesser of two evils seems prudent.

it's cute how many lies a single meme can tell in just one post.

After looking into this issue I've come to the conclusion that the standing rock tribe's rights and lands are being grossly violated. While I'm not opposed to pipelines in general, you can't run them through areas without people's permissions, and running them through treaty lands, especially without consultation to the tribe is an injustice that can't be tolerated. The pipeline should be rerouted or scrapped all together.

That's true - women just like making less because that way the mens will take care of them.

I believe they are refering to the fact that the wage gap is greatly exaggerated. Things like hours worked are not considered. There is still a small gap, in the 3% area, but most of it has closed. The bigger issue lies with maternal leave, and prejudice against hiring/promoting qualified women. Generally, once they are in or promoted up, women are compensated fairly. But if its a huge hurdle to get there, then that leaves something to be desired.

Think about this; Nicola Tesla was one of the most brilliant inventors and scientists to have ever lived. After being forced out of a business arrangement by his partners, he worked as a ditch digger. You had one of the greatest minds in human history literally digging holes. Imagine if he had been shackled and unable to return to his work.
