Things That Ruined My Day :(

So today I woke up to a FB "friend" posting this onto my Timeline.

Well it's a piece of puerile analysis which admits there's a pay gap but assumes it's all down to women's choices and not anything else which is a wholly unscientific pile of crap. I suppose it's just women liking babies that stops them being CEOs, and our taste for flower arranging and the colour pink that means that our little heads will just explode from the burden of leadership.

Eh, just shows you're winning the argument if people have to post to your timeline with crisp like this

Exactly! It was the whole "Yeah pay gap is crap!" battle cry, followed by "Ok maaaaaybe there is a leeeetle paygap, hardly worth mentioning, and not because of us boys but because girls want it" urgh.

Defriending and blocking that guy was he best thing I did for myself.

Yes, but you are uncomfortably aggressive - you are disagreeing with them and pointing out their privilege when they prefer to think they are just all nice and equal. In some people's books just holding that opinion where the might stumble across it is being a raging harridan.

I'm glad of ridding myself of the dudebro fraction, piece by piece to be honest, one of the reasons why I'm unapologetic with my feminism atm-I'm in the process of weeding out the a-holes and instead cultivating/supporting my fab femme friends!

Always rather nice when they self select, at least saves you the effort of having to have extended conversations.

Assholes belong to all ideologies.
