      When your boss is both a misogynist and a racist, sometimes you need to file a lawsuit to get paid fairly.

      I agree, white men shouldn’t be paid more than any other group just because other white men are in charge of hiring.

          You said that people should be paid what they’re worth and then said people with “a vag” or different skin color shouldn’t get more money because of that. It’s well-known that women and minorities get paid significantly less than their white male peers on average.

          So, logically, your implication is that women and minorities are paid less because they’re worth less. I’m asking you to explain why you believe that. It’s not that complicated.

              women and minorities who are equally (or sometimes more) qualified regularly get paid less on average than their white male peers. you claim to be unbiased, yet this information is neither new, nor it is uncommon knowledge. still, you continue imply that these people are paid less because they are worth less.

              I am, once again, asking you to explain why you believe that’s the case.

          So the highest paid person in the room is automatically the best, which statistically just happens to be white men? That sure is interesting.

              Yes, you are side stepping to avoid acknowledging that women and/or anyone who isn’t white tends to make less than their white male colleagues of the same (or worse) qualifications, while simultaneously framing the higher earners (who coincidentally happen to be disproportionately white men) as the “best” people in the room.

                  You’re still doing it, despite multiple people pointing out that someone’s pay doesn’t mean they are the most qualified.

                  What lesson are you trying to get people to take away here? Because “gender and race are irrelevant” and “the highest paid people in the room (who happen to mostly be white men) are the most qualified” are exclusive messages. You’re also very insistent on casting only women and minorities as getting jobs for reasons other than their qualifications.

                  Do you think Elon Musk is the most qualified person working at Space X?

      Yes but I am king, I consider you worth -1000, now you owe. Conform to me and stop your nonsense about it. I won’t hear any other complaints about what you think you are worth just because you have a penis, I am king.
