I already have the thread for this.

No, you created a secular and unfestive thread. Mine captures the spirit of the season!

Young fool.
Eventually you will understand the righteous and good and secular
ideals of SOCIALISM and COMMUNISM.
Only then, at the end, will you understand.
And then you will be destroyed.

A piece on the gender pay gap.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/business/women-pay-gap/?utm_term=.81be36cf796a

That explains part of the difference in pay between men and women, but not all of it. And even though most economists agree that after adjusting for age, education, experience and other variables there’s still an unexplained gap, there are voices who argue that the gender pay gap is a myth.

Pay gap deniers purport that women’s choices, rather than discrimination, cause the pay gap between women and men. But those choices are actually consequences of the social forces at play.

Also, women of color get hit twice: they suffer the effects of the gender wage gap plus those of the race wage gap. While wages for White and Asian women have improved since 2007, salaries for Hispanic women have flatlined, and even declined for African American women.

Yeah, as though there’s not a middle ground? A place where someone can like Rey and Finn without bringing socio-cultural identity politics into it?

Why can’t people just like or dislike the character without turning it into a bigotry (or reverse bigotry) issue?

Reverse bigotry is a problem?

Ok.

It’s a thing. Being judgmental toward people by assuming their actions or feelings are primarily motivated by bigotry is a thing that happens. If it happens, it’s a problem.

And thank you for proving my point by being dismissive of it.

Please also keep this out of my thread.

I’m sorry. What I was trying to say was that I want to like Rey without needing to take some side as to whether or not it’s motivated by some social bias.

I’ve never made the argument that you must like the Rey character. Justifying your dislike with some bullshit about SJWs and feminazis is a whole other issue. There’s no “reverse bigotry” going on.
