Male incels have been plentifully depicted on screen, while few film-makers have explored the varied controversies of toxic female radicalisation and the ‘womanosphere’. But a handful of movies have been treading a brave path

So you are saying that millions of employers are rank morons and absolute idiots for hiring any man, instead of employing 100% women?

Because that’s the biggest counter-argument.

Capitalism is all about maximizing profits. If an employer could save 22¢ on every dollar of payroll by hiring only women - and payroll is frequently the very largest expense of a business - they would have to be among the lowest-IQ functional adults in existence by hiring ANY man instead of all women.

Companies go through extraordinary lengths to shave 0.01% off of their expenses, and yet you expect anyone with more than two functional neurons to believe they’ll leave a 22% gap in payroll just lying around, unexploited? That employers would willingly pay 22% more for the exact same work simply because it’s being done by a dude??

Giggity.

I would absolutely love if that gender pay gap actually existed, because that means I could instantly and immediately operate almost any business 22% cheaper than any other company out there, conferring an overwhelming financial competitive advantage in my favour. I could become a multi-billionaire within a few short years with that kind of operational leverage.

Furthermore, I wonder why this isn’t taught in every single BBA degree out there. Because that would be one hell of a buff to any business plan. And yet, labour market participation overall tends to be broadly equal between the genders. Gee, I wonder why?

Finally: at least I posted links to evidence. Yours are just wild claims with no supporting evidence.

Seriously, I skipped the rest because my eyes were rolling so hard at how confidentially incorrect you are. Uninstall the app, go into the mountains, have a cry and deal with your issues - because this ain't helping you. In fact, it's only making things worse for you. I was trying to help you find some middle ground, but you wear your bias on your sleeves - and it reads through what you write.

Cool: a mix of sour grapes and an ad hominem in an attempt to socially shame me into silence. Sorry, but I have an exceedingly low tolerance for anti-reality ideology of any kind, much less that which is found percolating through female supremacism. You can take your gender bigotry and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.
