@@D91Mart because Prager does exactly the opposite extreme, they don’t say it’s wrong to single out white men because it silly to only focus on one group, they instead imply it’s wrong to single out white men because they *are* the most virtuous gender/race. With their talk of “men were the ones who valiantly gave women the right to vote” or “white people were the first to free slaves” (which, regardless of their decision to credit an entire skin color for an action like that, is objectively untrue).

Fact: "Men DID give women the right to vote". The way you libtards try to spin and manipulate language to make a point is ridiculous. It's because you have no point. Women weren't denied their right to vote because they didn't have that right. Men founded this country, built it, created the government, served in the military to defend it, and they run it. It would not exist without men. There was no reason for women to vote. The head of the household determined what was best for his family. The idea that women should just be given that right without the same sacrifices men have given is nonsense, and was an issue understood back then. There were even woman at that time that thought giving women the right to vote was a bad idea and not deserved. This world wasn't always the emasculated liberal cesspool it is now.

I wrote out a whole 3 paragraph response outlining how bad PragerU is, and how none of the men in our family are "manly" at all. The idea that my two older brothers could even consider themselves "manly" was hilarious to me. These are two men who overreact all the time, are impatient, easily offended, aren't really "leaders", aren't "strong", etc. (I'm not implying that I'm those things either, but the implication that they had these ultimate masculine qualities was amusing). And then I realized I shouldn't even bother responding because it would just turn into a really stupid argument.

The reason why a lot of men (& people in general) don’t show too much emotion is because if they reveal their feelings to their counterparts those feelings & insecurities can be used against them. This can happen with women too.

[@LAK_770]

@@DanielOrtiz-ym2sl the guy you’re responding to is a nut and a prick, and he’s obviously pushing his stupid link, but yeah Shaun does have a consistent left leaning bias that comes up constantly, and paired with his erudite delivery it’s a recipe for instances of sophistry. He’s very smart and argues well, but the biases and omissions and willful misinterpretations are there. For example, he’s talking about the wage gap as I type this - he astutely points out the hypocrisy in PragerU’s stupid presentation, but in the end actually makes no argument to refute the fact that the wage gap does not exist as it is popularly believed to exist. Prager U was essentially correct about it - contrary to the sound byte public figures are obligated to repeat, women are almost never paid less than men for the same work, and this has been uncontroversially clear for decades at this point. How much ‘choice’ people really have in their career/in general is a whole topic, but yes, women ‘choose’ less lucrative professions, work less hours and less years, and leave the workforce at a higher rate than men. Certainly gender roles and expectations are a factor, but there are two sides to this, where men suffer from pressures women don’t, and women suffer from challenges men don’t. But there is no reason to generally pin women’s less lucrative career choices on oppression or discouragement - women benefit from quotas, access to scholarships, and earmarked positions, and are greatly encouraged and facilitated in any field in which they’re underrepresented (STEM especially). The most parsimonious explanation by far is that women simply do not prefer to enter STEM or other high pressure, high paying professions. But the takeaway you get from this video is basically that arguments against the wage gap are inherently flawed, and it’s left at that. Prager U is just like anything else on the right - it’s a stopped clock, broken and almost always wrong, but correct when it happens to address one of the legitimate blind spots/flaws of the left. The wage gap thing is just one tiny example - he always lines up on the left re: any controversial topic, argues it well, but notably omits key information and emphasizes only what serves his point. In the Bell Cuve video for instance he does mental backflips to try and discredit IQ tests, painting IQ as some meaningless nebulous concept that only serves itself, rather than the extremely well validated and strongly predictive measure it is in reality. The conclusion that IQ is likely at least partly heritable couldn’t be less of a down-the-middle, likely, unavoidably obvious assumption, and Murray’s motivations were plainly not racist. But you wouldn’t get that from Shaun’s video, what you get is an assertion that it’s basically Nazi propaganda that only immoral idiots could ever entertain. Etc etc.

@@MsZsc the "real" 3% gap doesnt take into account how majority women dominated fields are payed less even for intense labor and brain intensive (think teaching, nursing, elderly care etc) when women chose those jobs then say hey there a wage gap people only say well you should have gone to a higher paying job. This is clearly evident in child care, you have to have a bachelors degree in the us to work at a day care most places and you get paid $15 an hour for watching 10, 2 year old. The reason they are paid so little is not becuase the job is easy or takes no skill they are paid so little because child care is seen as women's work.

[@DevinMacGregor]

Because one cannot say the 6.6% is specifically due to just discrimination. Plus the 77 cents has always been misrepresented in how it was derived.

[@KoningFelix1]

Also gotta love them for putting 6.6 next to 77. Are they trying to make the point that women get paid just 0.066 cents for every 1 dollar a man makes? I'm confused.

[@OsirisLord]

Women earn 6.6% less than men because they choose to go into lower earning careers. Okay now let me mentally shift gears here for a second. Women shouldn't go into high earning careers those are the domain of men, they should stay in traditional feminine jobs like nurse, teacher, or housewife. There we go thanks to the magic of cognitive dissonance I don't see a problem with this.

[@DevinMacGregor]

@@KoningFelix1 Another issue is that this is not all women at every job. The 77 cent figure comes from an aggregate of taking all full time jobs women do and adding all those wages vs all full time jobs men do and adding all those wages. Since more women than men work part time and part time earnings are not included this lowers the bucket for total women earnings. More men work overtime than women which is full time pay still and thus the men's bucket gets larger. You then have women dropping out of the workforce to have children and return a decade or so later. This puts less in the women's bucket. These earnings are counted over several decades of work. It is like the misconception of if the Black population is 15% overall then every job should have 15% black employees but this is not how percentages work. Some have turned them into absolutes.
