It applies to men and women equally. Either gender can take 12 weeks unpaid leave. Araysar said: "B) Maternity leave (vs. paternity leave)."

That's not maternity leave.

The United States has no mandatory maternity leave, so strike that one unless we're talking about those evil socialist countries. University admissions do not favor women. More girls apply and girls have better grades on average. Very soon, some universities are going to start making a...

I would get theIntel Core i5-4690 Haswell Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600 BX80646I54690 - Newegg.comand not bother overclocking. Overclocking Haswell is a waste of time. For overall system performance, the built in Turbo mode gives you more real world...

Way to ruin a thread by personally attacking me over topics I never once talked about. I've never talked about rape triggers or used the words "rape culture" other than to attack the stupidity of the idea. Way to shit up a thread, guy. Sorry for trying to offer a different perspective...

Same.

Yeah Cursed Scroll was MVP in the last match. Just so good with the wild mongrels. All the other matches were blowouts.

A) I'm not a feminist, because feminists used words like 'rape culture' that actually do more harm than good by spreading the blame from individuals to the society at large, which is exactly what the rapists want. B) Yes, the article could be seen as sexist, but maybe there's something going...

Go look at every other thread on this forum where people 'argue.' It's just a constant misrepresentation of the other person's position. The fact that I'm the sole person taking up the other side of the argument in this thread (Tanoomba doesn't count, his posts are so stupid that even I have...

Arguing? More like grossly misrepresenting every one of my arguments, then attacking the strawman they created out of them. That's not arguing.

Emotional triggers? Besides my comment about someone breaking into your house while you were drunk and killing your dog, I have not made a single appeal to emotion in any of my posts. You're confusing me with someone else.

What the fuck are you talking about? One plausible scenario to illustrate a point is 'feelings?'

It was just one example, what the fuck. I specifically said a female nurse, not that all nurses are female... It was just one hypothetical scenario. Also Europe is different. In America we just shut everything the fuck down that isn't essential in most of the country when it snows like...

Because it's some fucking bullshit European country where they probably pay people not to work most of the time anyway.

Jesus fucking christ. It was just one fucking example of how a woman might need these services before she could get to work. The article even says that it costs nothing and proved positive. Are you just going to rip even the simplest sentence apart over your own terrible reading...

Yeah, this was fucking great.

I want to see Littlefinger seated on the Iron Throne in a moment of triumph, just before Drogon rips the roof off, snatches him and eats him. Possibly a little too cartoony, but the dude is pretty much a cartoon villain anyway.

"Inspired by authorities in the municipality of Karlskoga, Helld?n explained that snowploughs in Stockholm typically target areas frequented by men, such as the roads, rather than entries to day cares, footpaths, and cycle paths, which are more often used by women. In Karlskoga, central...

A lot of people just walk in European cities. This isn't America we're talking about.

4-0 first try.

All I did was make 1 simple example of where a vital support worker might need access to a specific service that the article lists as not being plowed, and you turned a specific example into me making a gross generalization. I'm done with this thread.

I didn't say that. You guys have the worst fucking reading comprehension in the world.

I did not say any of those things. I'm just saying an example of someone who would need access to drop off their kids even earlier than other people need to go to work. The article says they weren't plowing out the childcare centers.

I did not say that at all. It was an example. But a female nurses is more likely to be a single parent than a male nurse, and therefore need childcare.

Yeah, women do vital support and infrastructural work to, and they need their kids dropped offbeforethey can go there. Pretty sure most construction stops during blizzards, but people still need to go to the hospital, including men who might be injured while removing snow. There's always a...

Can you tell me what's wrong with making sure daycare centers get plowed out?

Mocked Hitler and Tojo plenty too.

Disconnect from WHAT? No one is actually arguing with my premises. In fact, you all seem to be explicitly confirming my premises.

That's the problem. You keep making this personal. I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm a erudite white woman who's been steeped in academia for the past 14 years, and probably will be for the rest of my life. I totally understand my privilege and the whole coastal, liberal, northeastern...

Your argument is basically this: I understand that institutional racism exists. I understand that white men have a slightly easier time achieving any given goal (aside from playing in the NBA/NFL) than everyone. But because I'm a white male, I don't think that society should take any...

New topic. What's with MRA types and their advocating for a return to monarchy/autocracy?

I really didn't expect you to get it either.

Got it.

That's exactly the problem. Everyone else has to 'prove themselves'firstjust to get to certain baseline assumptions white males automatically make of other white males (who don't look like meth addicts.) It's not a huge thing, but it's a small thing that adds up to a cumulative advantage...

I'm in. This does feel like a mod.

Who's the idiot giving them the free stuff? You can't blame people for behavior that you're enabling. People, of either gender, will do whatever they can get away with.

Get some reading comprehension, because you conveniently ignored a whole bunch of that.

Play on smaller servers.

I wish it were possible to get a Wizardspike that wasn't awful.

See, men don't understand just how awesome of an advantage they get. If you make good decisions and work hard, you can have an awesome life from 40-55 or so. If you're a woman, no matter how hard you work, you better have kids that adore you, because after 40 you're basically alone otherwise.
