Feminists are killing rational discussion

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

Feminist: "Women earn less than men for doing exactly the same job."
Logic: "If women earn less than men for doing the exact same job, why don't those (greedy) capitalist pigs only hire women to save money?"

Women do earn less than men for doing exactly the same labour. Even 40 years after the equalities act in the UK, cases are still going through the courts where women have been systematically illegally underpaid for decades.

Employers tend not to employ women as a first choice because women frequently bear the brunt of domestic labour, childcare and caring responsibilities, not to mention gestation, birthing and confinement.

A man with a partner usually finds his unpaid domestic load lessened, while when a woman gets a partner, she is expected to contribute proportionately more domestic labour.

As such men are more able to take advantage of formal training opportunities, work late, bond with work colleagues (and the boss), which gets them seen in a more positive light, even nabbing the credit for womens work

Women work far more than men for less money and much of their labour is unpaid and unappreciated
