Yup the paygap thing is indeed murky ground.

Therein lies the difference between mindless ideology and critical consideration of ideas & solutions.

There is a clear trend over time towards parity, one which does not appear to be stopping and is lightyears ahead of any previous time in modern history.

But that is not to suggest perfection or a lack of rational means to help move closer towards it.

This is very different to exclaiming "mysogyny!" and disregarding the immense complexity of both problem and solution.

FFS, he is LITERALLY doing the exact same thing that his fucking stupidly long intro talked about. If you make a claim, that claim should be examined.

Can someone tell me if this gets any better? 'cos right now, I can't be bothered watching the rest of this unless there's a marked improvement in the quality of his "argument".
