yes, never question anything. That way you are sure to always be right.

In Jordan Peterson's own words: "Easier just to call anyone who calls out extremism on the left a fascist. Easier, but not helpful, and also indicative of refusal to draw a necessary line. Let’s call it willful blindness and leave it at that."

But back to the gender pay gap. Still we have yet to see any evidence that it exists. We have seen attacks on people who say it doesn't exist, and the invocation of the word "hate". I think that this word does come into play in this discussion, but in a total opposite way. I think there definitely is some hate here, towards a certain gender, and this is what is allowing the tolerance of actual discrimination to combat fake discrimination. Instead of misogyny, we have blatant misandry. And that just is wrong.

It was totally besmirching his reputation because he was slandering a fellow Canadian and big supporter of Canadian aboriginals based on blatantly false information. It made him look extremely silly. And you would think a Canadian senator would want to avoid looking silly. All the more reason he shouldn't be tweeting nonsense about an FA supporter being racist. Shame on him indeed.

I watched that Jim Jeffries hit piece and had to turn it off. A perfect example of alternative facts.

I am surprised that Murray Sinclair would besmirch himself and his reputation by lowering himself to this level. That is indeed unfortunate.

Here's Jordan Peterson versus an American protagonist who thinks that he is debating a right -wing American and doesn't realize that he's debating an open-minded Canadian with a long track record of close friendship with the First Nations in Canada. Needless to say that this person ends up looking incredibly foolish, as does anyone who just accepts the alt-left version of "facts". Calling Jordan Peterson a white supremacist is just plain ignorant, as this guy quickly finds out.

The only ignorance being demonstrated here seems to be coming from those that choose to believe that something exists without having any proof whatsoever. That's the very definition of ignorance. And here you go, Godwinning the thread. You are one step away from going full Hitler. Why do people get so worked up when apparent "truths" they have swallowed wholesale without proof get questioned? What are you so afraid of? And going to the "hate" well just shows that you have lost the argument. Jordan Peterson is not a white supremacist. That's just garbage. If he is then someone should tell the First Nations who he has done so much work for and helped. Having to reach with a giant lie like this in desperation pretty much sums up the whole argument right there. Whoever told you this nonsense about Peterson is scared, and doesn'twant you to see the bigger picture, or bother to think. You really need to de-friend them immediately.

Mark just as incredulous as you are, I am just as incredulous that you think the example you gave is "an example of the gender pay gap". It isn't. Not even close. What are are starting is a make believe "issue" that is unfortunately causing real world consequences, and actual gender discrimination. For example, my friend that teaches high level math and engineering is super frustrated because he says it is basically impossible to fail any of his female students. All post graduate scholarships are going to female students, despite their grades being sub-par and artificially supported, and despite many more deserving candidates with much higher grades, who have made the cardinal sin of having a penis. He says that this is going on across Canada. Is this fair? Is this right? Or is it just a knee-jerk reaction to an imaginary problem? I talked to my parents, who both were teachers, and asked them about this horrible situation of male dominated admin in the Manitoba teaching profession. Both of them didn't know what you were talking about, and my mom was quite offended that anyone would need to "help" her get an job in admin, just because she is a woman. They both agreed that this sounded like a completely invented problem. And if we really going to talk about "difference of opportunity", why is it ok to limit the opportunity of males to get scholarships and join the RCMP? Why is actual discrimination a "solution" to fake discrimination? This just makes no sense, and just seems inherently wrong.

Not really. What is happening here, and no one has actually shown anything to the contrary is that this is a completely imaginary and invented "problem" and call it "difficult and complex" when it really isn't. As I have said many times, all of the "difficult and complexers" here should watch the video in the OP. And give me your opinions.

Who gets hired has nothing to do with a pay gap.

$40 trillion of spending. Even CNN couldn't fake it when they tried to understand how it could be done. It can be done of course. If you want to become a banana republic. Because Venezuela has become an economic basket case. The same way the US would if someone like AOC was given any true power. Which is never going to happen. Lol

Mars Football League has a good ring to it

Trudeau tried to pressure Judy Raybould to drop SNC charges? What???

Not sure her ideas, if you could call them that, are that great, more in the "tried and failed many times" category. She would be a big hit in North Korea or Venezuela though. Everytime she speaks the Democrat machine kicks into "how do we stop her" mode. But you already know that.

I love AOC. Shes the gift that keeps on giving.

Who is denying that climate change exists? The climate is always changing. As AOC said, this is "our World War 2".

You would probably have to translate the job posting as it would be posted in Iran or Saudi Arabia.

While it's clear there are those who have blindly chosen to believe that a gender pay gap exists without any real proof, the example provided does highlight a dangerous consequence of an imaginary problem and unworkable principles being applied to "solve" said problem. Real gender and sex discrimination being exercised to combat fake gender and sex discrimination. And that helps no one. It's clear to me that there are certain people who will always trust something is real, as long as the information comes from a source that they trust, and aligns with their confirmation biases. This is true no matter what side they are on, right or left. And these people can be counted on to defend the indefensible and imaginary, no matter what. And tell everyone else that they are the ones with the closed minds. And if that fails, start talking about man-made climate change.

Did you mean man made climate change or natural climate change? You didn't specify.

Are you a closet Republican?

There is definitely a lot if deliberate obtuseness going on here for sure. Like saying someone has cited "an example or two". Where? When??? My buddy tried to apply for the RCMP. He was told to get lost. Meanwhile women were being told to apply and were encouraged to apply. Is this an example of a gender pay gap against men, or is it just blatant discrimination?

But it appears to be easy to be willfully blind when you never question or think about what you've been told is "truth". Questioning internal confirmation biases is a good thing. Try it some time.

I think you are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, purely to try and defend an imaginary issue created by politicians to generate a victimhood mentality.

Don't know what this means Mark, but I know the feeling when dealing with people trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
