You think that society is just?

Your sources for claiming women "are constantly in a lower social position than men" are...

1. A lie. Yeah "gender pay gap" claims using intentionally misleading information in countries with laws against different pay for the same job based on gender is absolutely a lie.

2. Crime statistics which certainly aren't indicative of people's social standing, especially not in a general sense. It is certainly unfortunate that people are victims of crime, but as long as the perpetrators are handled accordingly and prevented from infliting any more harm that's certainly no reason to claim that society isn't just.

3. This harks back to the original point. Different groups of people not being proportionally represented in whatever job you're talking about is not necessarily unjust. There may be unjust factors, yes. But it doesn't prove that there are any, and in fact even if jobs were given based purely on objective factors with race/gender not taken into account at all a representative split would still be a statistical improbability.

4. #3 applies here as well. Although this is also subjective since I personally think staying at home with the children, cooking, cleaning etc is much more preferable to some depressing 9-5 job.

OK, if I needed a citation, you show me sources for your claims.
