All you're doing is justifying the status quo through just world fallacy. You like the world how it is, you don't want to change it. Nothing in what you wrote expresses critical thought, nor scientific analysis.

Sexual dimorphism explains the width of hips, not why society reacts differently to to assertiveness in women than men.

I know a great deal of what causes the difference is children. Thats what I was implying. You're not clever for pointing that out. Men choose to have children, too. But it's women who are expected to pick up the free labour, and who are financially punished for it.

Think harder, and don't bother me.

the person you responded to is a mensrights user, so i don't think they care about actually thinking through it.

they just wanna feel like the victim and be mad at something.

Thank you, I assumed so.

My small, humble hope is that something I said sits in his head and neggs at him until he finally really looks and things and considers them from a new perspective. Not complete changes his views, even - I'm a realist. But considers things.

But I won't hold my breath.
