@Dolimyte sure it is. If feelings determine reality, anyone can claim to be anything

@Torsten nobody said all feelings determine reality, certain feelings can determine gender though. That said, I'm going to back out of this exchange before you conflate sex and gender again. Have a fine day.👋

@Dolimyte no, feelings do not determine gender. You can not just magically switch to a male or a female based on feelings. You can live as the opposite sex, but you will never be that for real. Biology is everything and you can never change that about yourself

just seen you said you were backing out, so have a good one bud.

@calabaciteh It's not just USA centric, there's developed and developing worlds by which female rights are still last in many parts of the world as there's more to the world than westernized countries. For developed countries though, the US does rank lower in all statistics so you're right for sure.

As for women working less hours, less pay shouldn't correlate with fewer hours though because people need money to support their children. The link also said that males benefit more from single fatherhood than mothers. Or something to that extent. They said that men's earnings tend to increase over time. Women would probably work more if they had support.

@SatanBurger sure, we need money for a lot of things, not just supporting children, but if you enter a wage based contract, your earnings ARE based on your work...

@calabaciteh They're not based on your work if employers are discriminating because you got kids. That has nothing to do with the actual work but the employer anticipating different things due to gender which brings it back to the original point. You having children doesn't affect the work you do at your job unless you bring your kids to work.

@ArcticDave Stereotypical Karens are usually conservatives though.
