You produced no research. In fact you just make up a lot of nonsense. God of gaps, oh lord help me you are stupid.

Turns out you didn't read up at all. You can't tell there difference between a law and sexism. Conflating the two shows once again you don't even understand what sexism is.

There is no sneaky maneuver, just your attempt at regurgitating your sexists attitudes.

The end where you are "no you did that" is hilarious. It is like I am talking with a twelve year old.

"Iceland is considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world. It has consistently ranked at the top of gender parity rankings for many years. However, Iceland also has high rates of gender-based violence.,"

Even in one of the least sexist places sexism still abounds. I do applaud the work they have done and likely it will continue to get better due to some of the best representation of women leadership in the world.

The coup de grace has to be you comparing Iceland to Saudi Arabia. Truly your stupidity knows no bounds. We are done here, cheers!

Okay I guess you're just illiterate. YOU are the one that asserts that a bigger man/woman gap means there is more sexism. Therefore, YOU consider Iceland one of the MOST sexist countries, because it has a HUGE man/woman gap in construction, MUCH wider and further away from 50/50 than in the vast majority of countries.

That is the conclusion YOUR logic produces, not mine.

  • Fact: Iceland has made great strides in gender equality, at the very least, relative to other nations, and has earned its place at the top of that gender equality index.
  • Fact: Iceland's man/woman gap in construction is MUCH larger than it is in nations that are known to have SIGNIFICANTLY less gender equality overall.

Therefore, the obvious conclusion, for any rational thinking person, is that it is clearly incorrect to equate the size of that gap to the level of gender equality.

You still can't contend with the simple burning question that arises from the two simple facts above, so until you address it, the following is all you're going to get from me as a response from now on:

If sexism is the cause of that gap, how is it that the gap is larger in less sexist countries, than it is in more sexist countries?
