Because "pay inequality" is a myth. Women get paid as much as men, they simply choose not to work as many hours, often because they decide to have children or want more free time for themselves. Or they choose less dangerous/demanding fields, much more often choosing to make careers for themselves in the humanities. The all-important STEM fields, which pay the most money, are begging for women, companies and institutions are falling all over themselves to hire more women, but they simply don't want to choose those majors when going to university.

You really are conforming to some interesting and terrible stereotypes here.

So are you, by trying to use shame to stop a conversation, rather than confront reality.

That's the guy who revealed "the truth" about Shaun King you so openly embraced.

So, you simply have an issue with Milo? He's bombastic, but that doesn't make what he's saying any less true, or is CNN also a problem for you?

Nope. I'm saying that no one (especially people whom you don't personally know) should be blindly held up as a hero, that's just a recipe for disappointment.

That doesn't have anything to do with their 'vast power' in the US. Facts wouldn't get int he way.

I don't see how that was 'trying to stop the conversation'.

You're amazing. CNN following up on the controversy is somehow equivalent to starting it.

Actually you were trying to nail me to the wall for having confirmation bias, but after I pointed out that you misused my statement and two other people corroborated my initial point, here we are with you pretending your post was about something it wasn't.

You give "power" too much credit. If it was all about "power" we wouldn't have Net Neutrality. No matter how much influence a group has, and the Progressive Left has a lot of it, sometimes they still can't override compelling contradictory evidence and common sense.

I don't see how that was 'trying to stop the conversation'.

Claiming I'm embracing (what's in your perception) a "terrible stereotype" isn't addressing the point, (and neither is attempting to call me out for my supposed "rightward jerk") it's evading it.

Not as amazing as you, they're corroborating facts from Breitbart's investigation. The worst part of it is, if it's true (and it does appear to be), he stole a very valuable/prestigious scholarship from an actual needy minority individual who would have received it in his stead. How scummy can you get?

I don't see how I "misused" your statement.

I know.

You do have confirmation bias, but then, so does everyone.

Sure, in the general. But your accusation was in this specific instance, so, you know, way to go on that one.

There may be a chicken and egg thing here.

It's not surprising when the head of a restrictive movement is a hypocrite. What the politics are behind the movement, and even what the movement is, aren't relevant. The commonality isn't conservatism, the commonality is restriction.

It just so happens, the conservatives have top-loaded on all the restrictive movements, except for guns and money.

When a democratic politician gets accused of dodging their taxes? Whelp, that's believable.

Some of them are too young to have "turned out" yet. Time will tell.
