it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?
Google "gender wage gap" - Orphan Crow
Simon is correct the gender wage gap does not exist. It is a myth. No economist takes it seriously.
Two people doing the same job get the same pay. Taken overall men tend on average to earn more. More women prioritise other things such as childcare. Don't confuse equality of opportunity with equality of outcome.
Check out Christina Hoff Sommers - The Factual Feminist
listening to 2 of my current favorite thinkers debate/discussion.
i've been looking forward to this since i found out about it a month ago.
hope some of you get a chance to listen.
I have been looking forward to this. I started listening to it yesterday but it got bogged down. Peterson tends to go off on long tangents. I will listen to the rest of it.

Azor - I didn't do any of those things. I responded to a specific comment by Spoletta.

These marches are turning into the ultimate form of "virtue signalling". - Simon
Precisely.
but anyone who denies that women aren't discriminated against is in another universe. - Spoletta
Really? I'm not convinced. I think the battle was largely won by previous generations of feminists. The latest bunch of SJWs are desperately looking for dragons to slay.
the following article will address these questions, and attempt to answer them.. after helping jwfacts with his page on animal suffering, i decided to write this article.. it is mainly aimed at helping jehovahs witnesses and other believers in god to think about the issue, as well as the apparent contradictions in watchtower teaching.. thanks must go to jwfacts for the encouragement, and giving me permission to use an image from his page and to use some of the quotes.. also, thankyou to cofty for general moral support.. please let me know what you think everybody, and feel free to reproduce any part or all of the article on any other website, just post and let me know that you've used it on your site please.. (i'd appreciate it if anyone could post to tell me they found a point in here useful, it would encourage me to keep going).. okay, here it is:.
why does god allow animal suffering?.
does it trouble you to see animals in pain?.
When it comes to evolution you copy, paste and drone on forever
I never copy- paste.
Your Mormon dogma that every animal has a pre-existing spirit is nothing but a bald assertion. It is asserted without evidence and therefore can be dismissed without evidence.
an atheist (never jw) friend of mine is an rv for a jw who he is trying to deprogram.
he started this totally on his own and just telling me about it.
it's quite amusing what he comes up with.. point 1: why the s & m stuff with foreskins?
the language of Scripture makes these practices sound like inspired instruction from heaven but critical examination of Hebrew history offers contrary evidence
Since there is not one word from god commanding them to stop that barbaric practice that hardly let's him off the moral hook.

Witnessing the obfuscation of Christian apologists is the strongest defense against the faith virus.

when i was young everybody used to fantasise constantly about how brave we would all need to be "when the persecution comes".
we worried about what "they" would do to us and how we would never talk or betray other jws.
psychologically it was a damaging environment for children; but maybe that's another topic.. who would have thought that when it finally came it would take the form of being sued for protecting pedophiles.

How embarrassing it must be. I actually feel bad for the many innocent elderly long-term JWs who must be feeling betrayed and bewildered.
okay i was thinking about it.
and it is a transhumanist argument and nothing new, i do realise that before anyone points it out.
but it struck me afresh today that the resurrection must happen.. firstly, to state the obvious, a rational materialist conception of reality seems to exclude resurrection.
Too late for science fiction. Good night.
