My mind wasn't made up by that video, I posted it because it clearly communicates what I think.

No it didn't, I said that then I posted the video. I told you to go back to your womens studies proffessor and to go back to tumblr after your comment about all men being sexist (or something along those lines) as it's just a too perfect stereotype not to use.

And your comments so far lead me to believe that you don't have anything that suggests that the wage gap is because of sexism.

My view is that sexism is so enmeshed into society that many of us, including some women, can't see it.

That might be because it isn't there and you are seeing what you want to see.

I provide some links then you provide some that disagree with my links and so on.
That's a waste of time. How do I provide links to that which I've seen firsthand throughout society my whole life? Gender pay gaps, rape, violence and women treated as second class citizens.

Seeing as your experiences are subjective and you have offered no data or examples I would conclude that your experiences aren't as valid as links to actual data. And if i'm going to entertain the notion, I need to know a few things. How old are you and where do you live. Because the gender pay gap did exist in the past but it doesn't any more. What has rape got to do with it? Men rape each other in prison, it has nothing to do with sexism. Same goes for violence. And women as second class citizens? When? Where? What rights were being taken away?

Oh I support equal rights, but I don't support how we are going about it.

Actually, I don't want this to go any further and turn into some shitstorm.
I said I didn't want to fight and that goes for all.
Now you can say I'm wrong because I didn't back it up with evidence.
That's fine by me, as long as I'm not fighting with other members because that's not what I came here for.

You say fight, I say discuss.

Cool. I'd prefer not to discuss it any further in case it turns into a fight and I don't want to be disliked for it.
So, if that's the case, I hear people wondering, why didn't I just keep my big mouth shut?
Coulda, shoulda, but I am now.
Please carry on with your discussions and let's pretend I never said anything.

We don't actually fight much here. We just discuss vigorously.

Besides you can't win. You shut up because people might not like you and then I won't like you. Tongue
