Why do you think feminists do this...?
They post a question chock full of logical fallacies, then close their question IMMEDIATELY after replying to an MRA or MGTOW's laser-pointed critique.
Do you think they might be afraid to debate the issues they present? Do they think they're fooling anyone hurrying up to close their post before their 'additional detail' directed to MRA's is ripped to shreds, embarrassing them?
BQ: Would they be afraid to debate ME in the comments section after I close this question? I'll be nice: THEY can choose the topic! I'm sure with more women getting college degrees...
@Jess
The "Wage Gap" exists and VAWA is gender neutral? Sounds like a challenge to a debate! Feel free to go to the comments section after I close this question. Get your links together, including the one that refutes the report commissioned by the Department of Labor [your favorite!]
http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wag...
And while you're at it, get ready to refute this pdf from the Bureau of Labor Statistics!

I'll let you go first with VAWA. I'm a link war veteran, so I suggest you be on your A-game! lol

I find most of those who support feminism here, do so based on ideals and just buying into what other feminists claim, without having any real understanidng of the issues.
Consider how many here claim the wage gap is due to employer discrimination, yet when asked for any evidence in support of that, they never have any. It's similar with the claiming VAWA is gender neutral - so many say it, but once all the obviously gender biased elements of it are pointed out, they have nothing further to say. It's clear they say it's gender neutral, because that sounds nice to them, but they've never really considered the real life practice of it. etc, etc.
Feminsts have enjoyed a culture that often just accepts what they say, but when they are challenged on their claims, they often have no real response, so they must resort to a variety of other tactics.
Add: The wage gap measured and reported by the department of labor does not compare similar men to similar women in the same job. It is a comparison of the median income earned by full time men to the median income earned by full time women. Note that being employed full time, does not mean the same number or hours worked.
Feminists of course know it doesn't compare people in the same jobs, but as usual, if the real facts don't fit your agenda, just change them to new "facts" that do.

I can't try to think like a feminist. I wouldn't willingly give myself brain damage to do so.
What I'd love to see about the wage gap from the feminist perspective, is proof. We all know it started when some incompetent feminists looked at men vs women incomes and said "women overall, make less than men, overall."
Then their victim mentality did the rest.
VAWA is *not* gender neutral. One reason feminists got so angry when the House didn't reauthorize it was because they wanted to change some words so they were *gender-neutral*.
Gasp! The nerve of those people...wanting equal protection under the law.
Oh feminists...they're a riot!

As you said before, their whole Theology is a pile of irrational rants, lacking any form of integrity & coherent and based solely on emotional & sentimetal aiming hatre at men & praise women as Godness.
So they only have support among the illiterates, the fools, the naive, the sentimentalists & naive young women and kids .....That's where they aim their propaganda.
And it's also explain why they are so fond of democrazy....where the bigger crowd win. (You know, fools always form a majority.)

This is the result of radical socialism and isn't only to be blamed on feminism, even though 3rd wave feminism is very radical about censorship and they unfortunately have a lot of power within federal and state government(s).
BQ: It just depends. Even though I think you're probably a cool guy in real life, you do come off as really hostile sometimes(which is understandable). It could be they are intimidated by your masculinity, even though most rational people think masculinity is sexy.

I don't see why someone, especially a feminist, would want to debate you. You pretty openly hate women and advocate separatism for men.
Why do you even try to talk with us, if you support separatism? Don't say you don't support it, because you often talk of being a MGTOW.
ADD: The wage gap is understood to exist, and even studies designed to show it doesn't exist will admit it does exist for men and women in the same jobs with the same credentials, but try to claim that it is due to some mythical "choice."
Oh, and the VAWA is gender neutral. That's just all there it to it. It either is or isn't. It is.
Y'all are too funny.
ADD: The CONSAD report, if you read it, finds a wage gap, actually. Even after trying to not find one. It's completely unexplained. Oh wait, but it's women's "choice." No proof, just "choice."
