Proof by Assertion. Considering you have frequently used this fallacy and so far, have not learned to not use it every time we have a discussion, my interest in continuing it is close to zero.

Your housework article has no source for the actual study because I'd really like to see how they got that information and what they categorise as housework.

Most of you must remember how the guy was a victim of character assassination last week with newspapers labelling him as "racist" and "sexist" when he made a mild joke on Twitter. This lead to him resigning from Kinda Funny after his colleagues threw him under the bus.

Well, he's back on Patreon and Youtube:

I'm glad he refused to apologise and bow down to the regressive left and it seems that he's garnering a lot of support. I recommend that everyone should watch his appearance on the Rubin Report.

Lol GTFOH with that bull. Colin threw himself under the bus and threaten to undo all the hardwork he and Greg started. A dick is a dick. Im glad he can take that putrid audience with him. Sad though because I love the chemistry between him and Greg. Hopefully their friendship is still intact.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I hadn't heard of those two.  What were they boycotting over?

Kelloggs blacklisted Breitbart, so fans of that outlet got pissed and uploaded videos of them throwing Kelloggs cereal boxes in the trash or flushing the cereal down the toilet, lol.

Star Wars was even dumber. Rebel Media (namely Gavin McGinnes) attempted to start a boycott on Rogue One because the protagonist was female.

The Kelloggs one does ring a bell now that you mention it.  And it started because liberals complained about Brietbart to Kelloggs.  I see this as a how these will play out in the future.  Companies are going to be forced to choose if they are liberal or conservative if they get invovled/pull ads/etc./etc.  

The Star Wars thing is practically beyond belief.  Don't know Rebel Media or that guy, I think I'm fine with that.  :)

And what's wrong with women supporting that? Women are still being paid less than men, and they do much more housework than men, so it's fair that they should protest unequal treatment.

The wage gap myth again? As for housework, are they forced to do that work?

It's not a myth. It's fact. Also, unless they want to live in a disgusting place, yes, they have to do that work.

No, no. We were talking about the earnings gap, not wage gap. When you're comparing women's studies majors to engineers, wages will always be substantially different.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I gather you beleieve that since women are in positions that are worse paying, then it means that they're not being discriminated against?

One of your sources conflated pay with earnings when they are different from each other. Did you even proofread or did you just go on Google, pick the articles that looked good to you, and copy/pasted the links without double checking? This is why I'm not interested in continuing the discussion because of your lack of caution.

OK then. Have a nice day!

I disagree with you and I am glad that he has a platform to voice his opinions to counteract people like you who wish to silence anyone with a different opinion.

Here's one that used data from the Multinational Time Use Study:

So, critizing him now amounts to trying to silence him?

His friend threw him under the bus over a faux outrage controversy. I doubt their friendship is intact.  He tweeted "Ah. Peace and Quiet." I dont like the guy but all of this over that tweet is ludicrous.

They get paid the extact some for the same amount of imput, unless you think people should get paid the same reardless of what they do there is no wage gap. It's myth and people need to stop spotuing crap and lies.

Who said anything about them not being discrimiated against. I said that the concept of a "wage gap" is bullshit because we live in a soceity where women can choose what careers they wish to pursue. To complain about a wage gap is to complain about the choices that women are free to make in our society.
