The idea of publishing pay data is retarded anyway. I have no idea where it came from. Surely even feminists don't believe women are being paid less, while in the same position at the same company, relative to a man?

Typical corporate pigs sitting in their high-back leather chairs, twirling their mustaches and cackling as they process new-hire paperwork for a female employee, stamping her payroll sheets with the 'PAY AT 77% MEN'S RATE' stamp (large, bold, red letters; you know what I'm talking about). His assistant (a thin, hunchbacked man with a bad comb-over and pale skin) takes it down to HR, and hands it to the (female) HR reps and slaps the ass of each one on his way out the door, while they all dutifully but somberly get back to work. Every day at 12:00 PM, they play James Brown's 'It's a Man's World' over the intercom to remind all employees of their place.
Anyone have extremely conclusive and compelling arguments I can regurgitate to the local feminists on-hand?

For example, yesterday I said "there's conclusive evidence against the supposed wage gap" and she said "there's evidence that says vaccinations cause autism."I just stopped there.
It's a shame whenever I get into a feminist argument I'm too drunk to link to this stuff here.Then again that could be a good thing depending how you see it.

Last time I "debated" with a feminist "friend" on facebook they deleted all my posts, their status, and removed me as a friend.

Except it's a fact not a myth
Quote from: SecondClass on July 21, 2015, 08:00:39 AMExcept it's a fact not a mythIt's a fact in the sense that women gravitate towards different lifestyle choices that compensate significantly less than what men choose to do.It's not a fact because of discrimination or muh soggy knee.
liberals are cute, but at least they're not stupid>conservatives>libertarians
As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others.
