Reddit

I get cheating is shitty and the complications are major, the wife was shit, she got the abortion her husband wanted and then when she realised it'd damaged her irrevocably she went back to her affair partner.

All that is a mind fuck and awful, she then slapped him (100% out of line) but he then slapped her so hard she fell onto the sofa and broke her phone and everyone says "well done"????

Wtf!!!!!! She's messed up but justifying the retaliation of a non serious threat is stupid. I'd get it in an "equal force" case except it wasn't. He hit her hard enough she fell over then smashed her phone??????

Men need protection too, but she was drunk, emotionally damaged and THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS HE DID NOT RESPOND WITH EQUAL FORCE OR STOP THERE. I could forgive f he didn't realise and just responded to her slapping him (hit someone expect to get hit - I know this isn't always the case but for this I see it) but his subsequent breaking of her phone was excessive. Why does Reddit think this is ok?????

Still angry about not all men

Can't we all just band together against "Those men"". Why is it a battle, an argument? There are shitty, prejudiced men. Female harassment is well documented.

There are predatory women too and we should fight against them too, but there's no "not all women" argument.

I'm scared on my own, well lit, reasonably safe street because of "some men". Can we just deal with that please without assuming it's some huge slight against everyone?

I want to be angry at Lainey. She's done so much shit. The only thing that stops me is wondering if she would've ever done that had she not been ducked up by Greg?

Her behaviour is unacceptable but what forces her to seek this attention, to think that kind of validation is ok?

I honestly believe she would never be this person if not for her husband. He's twisted and warped her, taken away any ounce of individuality from her.

Not all men...

But I can't tell which men from a glance. I've been groped and followed and shouted at enough to be wary. So not all men isn't good enough. It's SOME men, and we should all band together against those creeps instead of segregating. Men and women should tell those few men to fuck off and not spend time bickering and "not all men". Maybe then I wouldn't walk faster, constantly check over my shoulder, be cold to men I don't know at night.

I don't want to be rude to good people but until I know we all stand against those SOME men (and women) I will.

why and how are pads and tampons luxury? it's not luxury to be bleeding every month, bandages aren't seen as luxury, nappies aren't a luxury and even boner pills aren't seen as luxury so why is pads and tampons? they stop the blood that can make you sick if you don't have something to catch it, how fuck are homeless and poor meant to get them when only cheap ones are horrible and don't even work.

Another question I’d love to ask the upper class cishet white dude fucks who make these kinds of shit policies

-Kyoung

[thatsyouthatshowdumbyousound]

Sales tax on tampons costs the average woman less than ten dollars in taxes per year (assuming USA). And that is assuming that she buys tampons, which are more expensive than pads, buys 288 (3 boxes of 96, each of which can easily be had for $15-20) tampons a year, even though the average women uses only 240 per year, and that they are taxed at 10%, even though they are not taxed nearly that much in any US state. Even with these three assumptions made in your favor, you will be hard pressed to break the five dollar mark in taxes spent in a year.

Modern feminists are notorious for whining about trivialities like these, while ignoring things that are actually important. This is why they are not taken seriously by rational humans.

P.S. “But poor people can’t afford it!” Poor people can’t afford all sorts of necessary things. That’s what it means to be poor. If you really cared about the poor, you would spend your time advocating for the tax to be removed on much more directly essential products, that are needed by all humans, not half of them. You know, like soap?

P.P.S. “Boner pills” require a prescription and at least one doctor’s visit, which anyone who isn’t profoundly dumb will realize is a cost at least one order of magnitude greater than what the sales tax would be if prescription drugs had sales tax in the US. Talk about thinly-veiled misandry; the veil cannot get much thinner than that.

> it’s not luxury to be bleeding every month, 

“A functioning reproductive system” is not a health condition. 

You can use menstrual cups or cloth pads.

It’s not a “luxury tax”, it’s a “non-essential” tax.

> bandages aren’t seen as luxury, 

Band-aids are taxed, though I don’t know it it’s across the board.

>nappies aren’t a luxury

According to this page, state taxes for diapers vary.

Five bucks says you never actually checked who made these policies.

[whostolemymonkey]

Just to throw this out there, a mensturation cup costs $30-$40 and usually lasts two years when taken care of. And the plus side is it’s minimal waste!

[anythingbettertodo]

In the U.K., the issue is that men's razors aren't taxed as they're essential but menstural products are (although this is starting to change thankfully). Where I am it's more that we feel if men's razors are tax free, so should essential menstrual products be.

“The wage gap goes away if you account for the differences in hours worked, the specific position, level of education, and other factors/choices” should not be the end of a conversation. It should always be followed with “And what is going on in our culture that women are overwhelmingly making choices and are impacted by factors that lowers their pay?” 

[thatsyouthatshowdumbyousound]

Their natural differences on ambition, desire, and priorities. They’re simply less willing to make the most lucrative choice on average, compared to men. Men are much more likely to prioritize money over everything else when it comes to choosing a job than women. They also work six hours more per week on average than women (full-timers), and are much more likely to accept a job with dangerous conditions or unfavorable terms (e.g. graveyard shift) for more money. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

It’s telling that the countries with the smallest earnings gaps between men and women are the ones where women have less professional freedom. Check out the Hay Group study from 2016, go look at which countries get the closest to zero.

When women have more freedom and more choice, they choose less money, and more of other things (benefits, flexibility on hours, etc.). There is nothing wrong with that. But there is something wrong with complaining about the result of that freedom.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

The original claim - implicit or explicit - was “women are actively discriminated against”, not “women are making different choices”. 

OP is just moving the goalposts without actually admitting the wage gap arguments were wrong, or proving anything is influencing women’s choices.

[alaija]

“ “The wage gap goes away if you account for the differences in hours worked, the specific position, level of education, and other factors/choices” should not be the end of a conversation. “

It should be the end of you talking about a “pay gap”. You just admitted there isn’t one.

“ It should always be followed with “And what is going on in our culture that women are overwhelmingly making choices and are impacted by factors that lowers their pay?” “

So have you got an argument here? At the moment this is begging the question.

[anythingbettertodo]

I get your points and I'm not saying women aren't offered the same wage but I do think hours worked needs to be taken into account in regards to having children. It's not fair that women need maternity leave and are penalised for it. I feel women should have some form of paid maternity leave (as we have in the uk) to compensate for this. I also feel men need paid paternity leave as well. Children will always affect careers and skew the data for women's earnings, partly because men aren't given the paternity time to help and spend time with their child, and partly because some countries won't give paid maternity or paternity leave which can force women to decide to stay at home since physically they need to be around more initially for the child.

I do think this is an issue. I think it's shitty to expect women to abandon their jobs (or not keep them as a priority) for a child. It's also shitty to assume the father won't need time off too because "they're not as important" to the baby.

This is a very specific take on it but it's my problem with the difference in total earnings.
