You just proved feminism's entire point of how people judge women by appearance even though the same doesn't apply for men. I love how you think that because these girls are as you claim "awfully ugly" and therefore conjured up an entire movement. The only reason they partake in it is cause they're too ugly to do anything else hm?

[Marley Reese]

As, a feminist, Im not offended. he is awesome.

[Gatsufication]

That's just my way of arguing. If you got confused with the question marks and can't see my point through them then I have nothing to talk to you about.

You can't even answer those questions for yourself.

[ratschorrr]

The way he just had to say "closr bracket" why do I sense a LISP user in him? Nah, guess I just wish. That would make him too awesome xD

Like, even more, you know? xD

You don't get paid during a maternity leave, your employer is just not legally allowed to fire you during this period of time. They only get paid if they use their paid leave which is usually limited to about 1 or 2 weeks per year. Women usually are only allowed to get a maternity leave if their pregnancy affects their ability to work. Maternity leaves also don't last 2 years long either. It is usually limited to about half a year depending on your employer and country of employment.

women are truly chaotic creatures without any true feeling of resposibility.

[Gatsufication]

These "might" sounds like:"oh, i think we got lost. let's try another route... or, maybe, we should go back..."

You don't even know what you're talking about.

The world is alredy ruled by women, as it seems to me.

Why did Troy fall?

Women started all the big conflicts in the world.

And you are just waiting for the day to make another big crack on the globe.

That is the women's nature. You can do nothing with it.

[Vincent Zhao]

So instead of arguing against any of the points i made, you decided that it would be better to pick at 1 detail.

I honestly think you need to take some of these "critical thinking" classes.

I said you are entitled to your own opinion but you slander was baseless.

If we carefully look at your previous comments we can see that you justify your side with nothing but assumptions and rhetorical questions. Not the most compelling argument. Before you criticize another person, evaluate yourself first

[Gatsufication]

Baseless? Ok.

Just answer my question about the Middle East.

We all know that women are getting paid less because if the one will eventually get knocked up then she's gonna get a big vacation for two long years which company would have to pay for. Company is loosing one of it's specialists for two years and paying for that.

Is it some new information for you?

Women are ureliable simply because they are getting pregant.

Its tough, no doubt.

PS:tell me,how does feminism affect your personal life?

[Gatsufication]

Sometimes these "critical thinking" classes which you've taken aren't all about ad hominems.

Maybe you know what comunism is. Don't you?

Ain't it a world without strates of any kind? Do people get to the best schools cause they've got lots of money or cause they've got a high IQ in the countries where the comunism prevales?

I won't really care about the "ad hominem" so much while the fellow brings up a wrong statement without any arguments.

Check out the info on "life in Qatar". Educate yourself

[Vincent Zhao]

Wow, your argument is just riddled with ad hominem.

I don't see the basis on which you attack him, he makes a valid point and tries to justify it. Of course that doesn't automatically make it right, and you are free to argue against his point, but that doesn't justify any of the slander you are directing at him. You attack him on the fact that he is a "hippy". That is exceedingly prejudice and a gross assumption on your part.

You are also hypocritical about your own point on arguing on Youtube

[Vincent Zhao]

I never said anything about treating half the population as 2nd class. Maybe I didn't make it clear enough (damn character limit). By merits I meant by what they are capable of and how much they contribute. I am totally fine with paying a woman more than a man if she does a better job, I am just saying that we cannot expect both genders to be treated totally equal. There are differences.
