I got into it a little with a few rabid feminists today, in which they advocated for Equal Work for Equal Pay.
Oh, they can be SO much fun... for a minute or two as you toy with them and their "logic". Then they get really boring really quickly.
They said that it was a violation of their Liberty to be discriminated against by not being guaranteed equal wages to men.
They generally ARE paid equally with men on a rate-basis. On average, however, they tend to work fewer hours. What they appear to demand is equal pay for less time worked, which naturally translates directly into more pay for less work. This is why they are insane and should be sent to a nunnery or euthanized. Such profound stupidity has simply GOT to be agony.
I first attempted to point out the "myth" of the wage gap. They were unconvinced. Whatever...
Well no, it's not "whatever". Did you fail in your reason, or were they simply that wanting for intelligence or personal integrity?
So I explained the following concepts:
Positive Rights vs Negative Rights
Freedom of Association
Freedom of Contract
Property Rights
The parable from Jesus about the farmer, workers, and the wages.
The Free Market
Social Change versus Government Coercion
Are you copulating stupid? You don't explain things like this to people like that. They have no interest in reason and fact. NONE. They want what they want and will believe and accept only that which reinforces their desires and the agenda for satisfaction. You are attempting to use reason and fact with people who are devils in the flesh, corrupt as vampires. There is no "explaining" these things to monsters like that. You are beating your head against a reinforced concrete wall 100 miles thick, expecting your brow to break it down. Get real.
They were absolutely opposed to all of the above because:
It only works in theory.
If you insist on wasting your time, start with charging them with proving their unsupported assertion "it only works in theory". There are several approaches one can take in the effort to pile-drive such unattractive women into the dirt, up to their bloodshot eyes.
To make a long argument short. I remained calm and explained principle, they got emotional and tried to shame me. How would you deal with someone who sees rights as a "group" thing instead of an "individual" thing?
I'd ignore them. They don't merit my time or consideration. I'd tell them to believe whatever it is that makes them happy and to have a nice day. I've got far better things to do than argue with corrupt idiots, like setting myself on fire with napalm.
