  • I think everyone is arguing different points here. The first comment spoke about the gender pay gap, which is not restricted to same job/same experience. It also considers that positions that are typically filled by women (care, nursing, teaching, etc) are systematically underpaid, which is also a perfectly valid way to define a gender wage gap.

    But for some reason you responded by singling out the same job/same experience data, then told the first guy to educate himself.

    Everyone here is saying the gender wage gap very much exists in general in Europe, and you’re singling out one smaller data point where it doesn’t.

    I’ve always thought the better argument was to replace ‘good and evil’ with ‘happiness and sadness’. Everything you said makes sense because good and evil are subjective, but at least everyone agrees that happiness is a goal in itself that we all strive for, regardless of what it takes to get you there personally.

    If you go through this chart and use the word ‘happiness’ instead, it becomes pretty clear that god is not omnipotent and omniscient and benevolent, or we would only ever feel happiness.

    I’ll admit that my own bias is left-leaning, but I’m not sure I see much of a strawman here. If you pick the most extreme groups in either camp, one side calls for the protection of certain groups (through admittedly questionable means) and the other seeks to take others’ rights away (through those same questionable means). Could this be a case of ‘truth has a left leaning bias’? Open to hearing otherwise though!
