Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

I always thought the 'wage gap' factored in things like how women are more likely to stay at home to watch the children, taking part time/temp work to supplement the family income, or being less likely to negotiate a raise. I don't know, I've never seen an actual study as to where these figures come from. It's just what I figured would be the outcome of averaging all working aged men and women. I never took it as a company hiring a man and a woman to the exact same role and just paying a man $10/hr while only giving the woman $7.70/hr. I take this idea as more of motivation to not be afraid to ask for a higher wage and to actually talk to your co-workers about the kind of money that they make. Because regardless of gender, companies will try to negotiate your wages down and maybe women are more easily talked down or are willing to take less due to their situation.

Or I guess I could just bitch about it on twitter, idk.

The wage gap argument is often made from a misinterpretation of statistics (or I think the willful corruption). When you look at the stats overall men make more money. Those stats are looking at age groups and career fields, not specifics like specific jobs. You are lumping men who make 150k on an oil field at 26 with women who are teaching at 26 and making 35k. Often when companies actually sit down and compare wages for specific jobs, women are making the same. Occasionally companies, I think Google ran into this recently, find that women are making more because their hr has been too aggressive and ignored true evidence and bought into the wage gap.
 
Prediction: in 5 years, April Fool's Day will be "canceled" by anyone even mildly woke, and in 10 years a company that dares to try an April Fool's gag will have to fire seven people to appease all the angry social justice warriors.

I can't even say how many hot takes I've seen from my liberal asshole friends today about things that are never funny guys omg. Yeah, ok, someone doing a boring "I'm pregnant lol no just kidding" post on Facebook is trite and stupid, but humor's like anything else: only a small percentage of people are actually good at it, and most of us tell average, boring jokes. Usually ones we got from someone else, and maybe added a personal touch to.

Complaints I've seen today:

  • Any April Fool's pranks relating to having babies in any way is strictly forbidden and NEVER FUNNY because some people can't have babies and are sad about it, so be considerate!
  • Pranks about coming out as a different gender are contributing to the culture that murders trans people
  • April Fool's Day will bring out your lesser-known triggers, stay safe! [Note: does not mention "staying offline" as a way to stay safe]
  • Autistic people are hurt by April Fool's Day because they don't understand the social cues that reveal someone's not being serious!
  • Lying and dishonesty are never funny and it's about deception and why is anyone ok with this?
These people have been right on the bleeding edge of SJW thought for a decade, and everything that was crazy out there when they initially said it has become unquestioned orthodoxy within a few years.

This is all a bunch of people who never grew out of the "I hope the barista doesn't think the way I ordered my coffee was uncool, oh god, she did, she thinks I'm uncool, I'm an idiot and I can never come back to this Starbucks again" phase, demanding Starbucks distribute guides on exactly how to order. The glorious narcissist should never have to deal with that ordinary shame of being seen as having imperfect knowledge.

It's not quite what you were asking for, but it's pretty fucking funny

Semi-related note: the #EqualPayDay hashtag is full of hilarious feminist salt about one of their favorite conspiracy theories.

I'll break down the strongest rebuttal I've come across to the claim that "women are paid less", quickly.

If a business had access to a labour pool willing to provide 1 unit of productivity for 0.78 units of pay (we'll call them "Group A"), as opposed to their current labour pool, which provide 1 unit of productivity for 1.00 of pay (we'll call them "Group B"), what business would logically neuter both their margins and their market share, by hiring the 2nd group?

The first company that hires exclusively from Group A has the capacity to lower the price on their product/service, guaranteeing better market penetration and thereby securing greater market share, while retaining the profit projections. They also have the advantage of being able to comb that pool for the best possible candidates, as the initiators of this hiring paradigm, and will force all competitors into choosing between less success/profitability, or also adopting the paradigm and hiring whatever's left in that labour pool.

Meanwhile, Group B is now unemployable, if they insist on being paid 1 unit of pay for 1.00 units of productivity; they either have to revise their wage expectations, or remain unemployable. If they choose to accept the lowered wage value, that new wage value is now the new wage constant, making it the new "1.00 pay unit".

There's no company in the world that would willingly give up additional profitability, market share, and RoI for their wage:productivity ratio.

Since it is ALREADY illegal to engage in pay discrimination based on heritable characteristics, for the same work being done, that leaves no choice but to acknowledge that feminist claims of a wage gap are utterly false without even discussing the gross feminist misrepresentation of the actual data being examined, which ONLY shows a pay differential across all fields, without controlling for hours worked, educational attainment, non-monetary benefits (company healthcare, onsite childcare, etc.), schedule flexibility, and other critical factors.

Anyways, TL;DR, it's been illegal to underpay women for the same work as men for 50+ years, the market wouldn't ignore underpaying them if it were a possibility, and Equal Occupational Fatality Day is May 3, 2030, but I don't see any feminists starting sartorial campaigns to draw attention to THAT gender inequality.

Since feminists are fond of demanding payment for "enlightening the unwoke", should I request donations to paypal or venmo, so I can be compensated for explaining simple economic forces and basic history?
This is kind of long, but this woman (Kate Andrews) is very engaging and covers this issue in great detail.

 
The sex pay gap exists, but as above, I think it’s more that women end up taking time off for kids then going part time and that does impact your career.

I think there are cases of men and women being paid differently for the same jobs but they’re the minority (and persuable in court.)

The dangerhair ‘intersectional’ lot are morons. And they are not feminists.
The biggest danger to women’s rights at the moment is the push to replace sex with gender in the equality act. This will let men into any place/service that’s currently women only. For example the girl guides - declare yourself a woman and you can instantly sleep in a tent with a load of preteen girls without their parents knowing - what could possibly go wrong! You can see where it leads with morgane oger in Canada.

The reeeeeeing intersectional lot are fully behind the TRA push to remove any mention of sex in anything official. It’ll affect men too - Male suicide rates? Nah we don’t see any difference any more, no funding for prevention. Poor educational attainment of white boys in poor communities? No we dont record that any more. Cancer rates? No those aren’t recorded by sex... etc.

Fuck off with your intersectionality. Is there some sort of neurotoxin in blue hair dye?
 
This is old news, but I've been thinking about it lately, due to rewatching the Great British Baking Show..

I like to bake, and I have a great love of the Great British Baking Show (no cupcakes, and none of the weird forced drama you see on the US baking programs). But THIS woman just rubs me the wrong way constantly. Maybe it's because of how weepy she was during her season on the show, but I spent every episode of season 2 (as it's called on Netflix, apperrently it's some other season in Britain) hoping this woman was the one sent home.

 
It seems like prostitutes are either 1) forced into the job due to poverty, etc. and/or 2) mentally fucked in the head because they were sexually abused as a child. I think they need personal help more than prostitution needs to be seen as a 100% normal job with 0 problems or bad reasons for existing

Well part of the reason for legalization is that there would actually be background checks and shit for the hookers to make sure they weren't forced into it at age 8 by some dickbag pimp

I'm not saying the societal stigma should stop existing, just that a legal stigma no longer should. But I might be derailing too far, maybe this should go to deep thoughts (deep thots?)
 
This is just like when people were championing the end of plastic straws and all the "disabled" people on Twitter began flipping their shit because it was LITERALLY MURDER. No, they couldn't use wood, silicone, metal or paper. It had to be plastic and anything otherwise was blatant discrimination that was clearly leading us down the road to full-blown eugenics. It does bring me some happiness to know that when civilisation does inevitable collapse, these people won't make it through the first winter.

That whole thing was so fucking re.tarded on so many levels because 1. be a fucking grown up: accommodate yourself and bring your own goddamn plastic straws, 2. most places said they'd still have plastic straws available for disabled people to use anyway, and, most importantly, 3. banning plastic straws makes essentially no impact on the amount of plastic pollutants in the environment.

This. It's a sad sort of amusing seeing new york hipsters walk around talking about how straw bans will save the earth... while holding a drink in a styrofoam cup. But hey it has no straw so it might as well be 100% biodegradable hemp paper.
 
Great Tecumseh's Ghost, I didn't have to go very far back in this thread to find SJW REEEEEEEEE about spirit animals.

So hey, I, as an Actual Indian Person, hereby give everyone Official Permission to say something is your "spirit animal". Because that's a term New Age hippy whiteys made up and then SJW whiteys started freaking out about it because some "Native American" like Elizabeth Warren said they were offended by it.

(Yes we have animal totems and spirit guides and things like that, but it's totally different and some rando saying "Oh this smol fluffy bird is totes my spirit animal." or "Pizza is my spirit animal." is hilarious, not offensive. Please to keep doing because it is funny and also it makes dumb SJWs flail angrily.)

Even when these people have a spirit animal?

Oh good god I forgot about the furs because I try really really hard not to think about them. YKINMYAYKINOK

But sure, Official Indian Permission for furries. Otherkin too. Because it's not appropriation AND it's fucking hilarious.
