My favorite thing to argue about is gender inequality. Every time I get into a discussion about how men make more money I like to ask the other person (if they're a woman) when the last time they asked for a raise was. There are of course other factors at play, but according to studies, men ask for a raise 8 times more often than women do. I bet that explains at least a part of the income gap.

I think the genders are equal but not because we can do the same things equally. Does that make sense?

There are several things men are usually better at than women. And there are several things women are usually better at than men. There are also several things that people can be good at regardless of what gender they are. Men and women are different. Not all men are the same, nor are all women. Instead of deciding that a company needs to hire a female or male or black or Latino or German midget, they should focus on the individual's skilllset and experience. I don't care if the firefighter carrying me out of the burning building is man or a woman, but I know that I most certainly don't wan't her or him to be hired because of her or his gender or race, I just want the best possible firefighter to do it.

Yeah.

Well, I think it's time for this chauvinistic pig to go to bed before I start another riot here again.

Oh, don't worry vehve. Wisher will throw you to the ground and cuff you before you can do that.

But I fight dirty. That reminds me of a story once again. Back when I worked as a security guard, we used to have these training days on using force. Once, after such a day, I went to get a haircut. The lady asked me what I had done to my wrists since they were all red. You really get a good uneasy mood when you say you've been wrestling in handcuffs all day...
