Great post. I suspect you watch/listen to Freedomain radio and Stefan Molyneux and perhaps Joe Rogan show and Jordan Peterson?
The whole pay gap (non)issue and non-trans binary QQEAWQLLA square root of fifty and they way these millennials talk down to people like they are some school teacher teaching a eight year old. And they are creating this imaginary minefield where they expect you to navigate - and if you say something that is "wrong" or judgemental or discriminatory they will let you know that.
Basically the problem is governments. Human interaction, and especially things like gender and race are like very finetuned clockwork. And government tries to fix it by using a sledgehammer. That's the best tool they've got.
Humans have preferences, and we see that even though governments are trying to force people of different ethnisities togheter, they usually stick to their own preference group.
Also, don't forget that it was the US government who didn't let Rosa Parks sit in the front of the bus. Why would a bus company discriminate against their number one customer groups - namely poor people who cant afford a card - and in those days that group was (like today as well) mostly blacks.
If governments just stayed the fuck out of peoples lives, we wouldn't have a problem.
Did you see Jordan Peterson on Channel 4 news talking about gender and paygap?
That illustrated the problem very well. The woman was like hypnotized by her own cognitive dissonnance. It's quite amazing to watch. There is no pay gap. And like Stefan Molyneux argues..if female secretaries were such a great asset to a workplace, why wouldn't the CEO promote her to CFO or whatnot? If all this untapped talent were wasted, company A could just hire these woman and beat all competition. Also..if you account for the actualt REASONS for the paygap..like the fact that women get kids and stay out of the workforce longer, they also are more agreeable and therefore doesnt ask for raise as often, they also chose occupations that pay less and so on and so forth.
And that last argument is an important one, and I often get this answer; "but why can't a nurse be paid as much as an engineer?"
And the reason for that is because a job is valued on how many people are able to do that job. A CEO is hired because almost NO ONE can do that job. And he gets paid very well for that job. Anyone can flip burgers..so that is not paid well. And if you are getting paid the same amount for flipping burgers as you are studying for 5 years and the compete for a very hard job as an engineer..who would bother to become engineers? There has to be economic incentives.
But feminists and "anarchist" doesn't understand basic human condition. They don't understand reason or logic, and they don't understand their own arguments even. They are just walking contradictions.
