No one is offended if that’s what people choose.

But the pressure is on women to be like men.

From the snark in your response, I take it you have no meaningful reply? However, let’s see if we can guess what is meant by your statement.
You (incorrectly) believe feminism is about getting women to behave like men. Quite how you have arrived at that conclusion is anyone’s guess, however, it is completely in error. Feminism exists to advance equality between the sexes. There IS pressure on women – pressure on them to conform to antiquated notions of femininity – and the same outdated social mechanisms also put pressure on men to be ‘manly’.

Then provide it. Explain why seeking equality for women is ‘evil’. Explain why addressing the pay gap is ‘evil’. Explain why encouraging people to think of women as people, not objects, is ‘evil’.

No answer I see. You can’t cry fallacy here – feminism is about those things I mentioned, I believe you know this. Now you can explain why those things are evil.

First wave feminism was about these things / but the second wave feminism of today is evil. Leading feminist intellectuals have said this.

Pay gap? Aren’t employers paying men and women the same amount of money if they’re doing the same amount and type of work?

Yes you are of late, and predictable. It’s a shame, because believe it or not, I want to respect you, and you do post some insightful material. Unfortunately, you are also prepared to be thoroughly insular and at times appear far too willing to engage in mockery. I am perfectly happy to watch your videos and look at your links, however I ask you extend the same courtesy to me. I think that’s fair, don’t you?

Is there a point in doing so? You have openly admitted to hypocrisy on this. I will watch your video, even though it is clear you have no intention of having an honest discussion, but rather one you wish to slant in favour of a skewed perspective. I am disappointed that you are committing shirk.

You know what? I’m not going to. You have openly admitted to a dishonest, selective approach. Your appeals to mockery when this is pointed out have become tiresome. You are afraid of an honest discussion but demand others jump through hoops. This is similar to a discussion you had on Speaker’s Corner.

Author, art professor, feminist, and cultural critic Camille Paglia offers a scathing critique of feminism, explains why there are more male creative geniuses, and laments Generation Snowflake. She helpfully distinguishes between “first wave feminism” of the 1920s and 1930s with today’s ‘poisonous’ second wave feminism with it’s hatred of men, closed minds and fanaticism.

Charlatans exploit gullible with ‘statistics’
http://www.ocregister.com/2015/10/07/charlatans-exploit-gullible-with-statistics/
Excerpt from the Article:
“Men, for example, don’t get pregnant. And when children are raised by a single parent, that parent is a mother far more often than a father. You cannot work the 60-hour weeks that are needed to reach the top in some fields when you have children to raise.
But we seldom hear about such facts, while we constantly hear charlatans loudly proclaiming numerical “gender gaps” in employment or pay and suing for discrimination.
Charlatans are only half the story. The other half includes people who are gullible enough to be led around like sheep by those exploiting the prevailing political correctness dispensed in our schools, colleges and the media.
Moreover, the sheep in both high and low positions often also implicitly believe that the cause of statistical disparities must have originated wherever the statistics were collected, and therefore must be the fault of the employer – even though the factors behind those disparities may have originated far from the employer and long before the people involved reached the employer.
So long as there is widespread gullibility, there will be charlatans ready to exploit it for their own benefit, either politically or financially.”

Two more excerpts from same article:
“This preconception of equal outcomes requires not one speck of evidence – and defies mountains of evidence to the contrary. Even in activities where individual performances are what determine outcomes, and those performances are easily measured objectively, there is seldom anything resembling equal representation.”
“Among the many reasons for gross disparities in many fields, and at different income levels, is that human beings differ in what they want to do, quite aside from any differences in what they are capable of doing, or what others permit them to do. Observers cannot just grab a statistic and run with it, though that is what is done too often in the media – and even in courts of law.”
