Being stay at home moms is part of it, yes. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps some women who got their MBAs simply chose to start a family and not work because their husbands make enough for them to do that? Did you consider that women (because of genetic predispositions- again) are more likely to pursue careers like teaching, which have lower salaries than say business?

As I quoted and bolded "controlled for career aspirations, parental status, years of experience, industry." That means that even after you consider all the things you just mentioned, the study's authors still found disparities in pay.

People who are raped are affected by rape. What youre saying devalues what they've been through by saying you suffer from the same thing. That's pretty narcissistic of you.

Huh?

When a cop shoots a black person, its because they're doing something like attacking a cop after robbing a convenience store. Not because theyre black. If you don't attack cops, you dont have to worry.

Actually, if you're black you do have to worry. This is why folks are so upset: there have been numerous instances of black people who didn't attack cops getting killed by them. But it's easy not to notice that fact when you're white and don't have to worry about giving your children "the talk".

As far as the military goes.. Do you think you'd actually enjoy being shot at?

You would fucking die in training if you went up for marine recon.

Men and women are different physically. You cannot deny that, nor can you reasonably blame men for evolution.

You've got me: I would make a bad soldier, and men and women differ physically. Point conceded.

Women simply aren't designed for the same levels of physical exertion as men. A combat zone devoid of backup is not the place for you to get that fact through your head.

See, that's where you're being sexist and you lose me. Men have been claiming that women have no place on the battlefield for centuries, but warrior women go back as far as the (real life) Amazons.
There are hardcore (much more hardcore than me or probably even you) women out there. Just one example:

That's Cristiane Justino ("Chris Cyborg"). I've seen her fight live, and I dare you to tell me that she couldn't cut it as a SEAL.

You're really proving my point about natural disposition here. Back when we were evolving women were still women, even without barbies. It wasn't like everyone was butch before the invention of the doll. In fact i can almost guarantee that instances of rape were FAR more common then. Let's use your logic and say that barbie dolls actually decrease the chances of someone being raped.

Ok, so there are only two possible kinds of society: barbie-playing ones, and medieval ones. Any other type of society has never existed and never can exist ...

You say maybe women should be more aggressive and take what they want like supposedly males are taught to do

No, I said we should raise both genders to be equally aggressive ...

,If there ARE women-specific issues that need to be addressed, maybe its women's fault for not doing anything but whining about them.

Well, there is that whole thing about the men (almost exclusively) doing the raping. Also, does this mean your against helping any oppressed peoples anywhere, because they should just help themselves? You would have been a real popular guy when the Nazis were doing their thing ("those French should stop whining about their problems and just fix the Nazis themselves!")

Or maybe your totally 130% legit non-biased definitely not fabricating results to push a political agenda feminist organizations are just lying to rustle your petticoat because that's how they make money. "so many of them" don't commit rape. I've known hundreds of other males and none of us are or were rapists.. So where are these frothing hordes of chest-beating rapist baboons you're referring to?

Susan B Anthony would slap the teeth out of you. Youre a satirical caricature of actual feminism and you should be absolutely ashamed.

Thanks Mr. Susan B. Anthony scholar. I couldn't make much sense of the rest of that.
