RE: The Steemit Daily Dose: THE STEEMIT DAILY DOSE HAS BEEN CANCELLED INDEFINITELY DUE TO WHALE FLAGGING - A collectivist Communist system of control with economic violence as its main weapon.
You have not provided any evidence whatsoever for your claims, and your facts are mostly alternative facts. You give me a long rant, full of unfounded claims, calling them established facts. And claiming that I suffer from cognitive dissonance is pure crap.
I have no obligation to enter into a debate with you. I have a burn-out.
I could give you 50 cites for every claim made above, I literally see it in court on a monthly basis. But why would I bother when people's cognitive dissonance usually prevents them from even reading it?
Is the Huffington Post a feminist-friendly enough source for you?

Maybe you'd prefer a real source, U Michigan Law (this is a "top-ranked" law school, fyi, notch down from Yale/Harvard/Stanford):
"PROF. STARR'S RESEARCH SHOWS LARGE UNEXPLAINED GENDER DISPARITIES IN FEDERAL CRIMINAL CASES"
https://www.law.umich.edu/newsandinfo/features/Pages/starr_gender_disparities.aspx
Those were literally the first two google results for "women get lighter sentences". I didn't exactly have to go digging. See what I mean about widely accepted facts?
"alternative facts"
Are those what you call facts you don't like? I don't have time to educate the willfully ignorant all day.
Educate yourself and become free from the cultural marxism overtaking the west today.
PS - Thank you for a civil reply. I, too, share your lack of time and energy. It is only because I value any mind willing to engage so highly that I bother to say things that I know will, in the short-term, only anger people in an attempt to educate them. I certainly see no benefit from it at all; in fact, these discussions cause me great anxiety.
I grant you the point, women get lighter sentences. That was only one of your points, not what I was talking about. I'm talking about the bigger picture. Your point does not prove that there is no discrimination of women,or that there is no patriarchy. Men are also discriminated against, no doubt. Just to a lesser extent.
"Your point does not prove that there is no discrimination of women"
I never argued this point. There is discrimination of everyone.
"there is no patriarchy"
You just granted the point that there is no patriarchy yourself, just now.
Patriarchy (noun) - "a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it"
You just conceded that the government discriminates against men in favor of women.
You just conceded that you live in something closer to a matriarchy or gynocracy than a patriarchy.
I eagerly await your cited argument that women are systematically excluded from power when our last presidential candidate who was a "shoe-in" was a woman. Given women pay less taxes, receive more tax-paid benefits, lighter sentences, presumption of custody in family court, presumption of innocence in rape and domestic violence cases, Title IX protections, and many other matters of fact and common public record, you will find your position literally impossible to support.
Here's another bite-sized citation for you:
Yep, looks like men pay 2-3x as much for fewer services alright, and still get to be drafted for war.
Maybe it's that completely fake gender wage gap:
I did not grant the point that there is no patriarchy. I was talking about the feminist theory definition:Feminist theory defines patriarchy as an unjust social system that enforces gender roles and is oppressive to both men and women.[37] It often includes any social, political, or economic mechanism that evokes male dominance over women. Feminist theory typically characterizes patriarchy as a social construction, which can be overcome by revealing and critically analyzing its manifestations.[38]
What is the source of your graph?
I'm a man myself, but the oppression of women is very obvious to me, women are objectified, get lower wages(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_pay_gap) , are subject to abuse in relations, etc. Please don't make me pull out a lot of statistics. I will, if you force me by denying facts.
To respond to your other question, the source of the chart is data from the government of New Zealand, which is where that particular study was sourced:
http://imgur.com/gallery/3lWlM
"Research finds that as a group, only men pay tax."
"In nearly all age groups, women receive more tax than they give."
The quotes you give have nothing whatsoever to do with the new Zealand government, and you know it, and purposefully try to mislead. The graphic is one thing, the wacko interpretations is another thing entirely. Claiming that women don't pay taxes is laughably stupid. There is no source to be found, you have given a link to an image with misogynist text. Fishy, and easy to see through.
Did you notice your whole argument was fallacy? Since you didn't bother to read anything, you are just blathering on like a fool.
First, you deny reality which has already been cited to you. Then, you move on to ad-hominem by deeming anything you disagree with is "misogynist" (apparently facts are misogynist), and finally you finish with an amateur straw man.
Your Machiavellian technique is not bad, but it won't work against a talented debater.
The source is the government of New Zealand, which you'd know if you looked it up. It says it right on the page, after all.
Women do not pay taxes net of benefits. They claim more benefits than they pay. This, too, is a fact that you choose to ignore.
It says this right in the study.
You are deliberately trying to confuse "no taxes" with "no net taxes" in an attempt to use a straw man fallacy against me. It will not work.
Ok, you are making a lot of claims, with no proof. I read the bullshit article. It has no link, no webpage. The words on the image are not from the new Zealand government.
That text is not a study. There is no reliable link to an interpretation of that graph,it's just a graph. You call me a fool?
You are the one making unfounded claims. You are a liar, manipulator, misogynist, a fool, and a piece of shit.
