Obviously I'm as anti-Regressive Left as anyone. I just think there are more intelligent ways to go about opposing them.I said nothing about the pay gap.Okay. I realize there are people who agree with him and his approach.McInnes was telling other people, particularly women, what they think, what they should think, and how to live their lives. For their own good. I think we have more than enough authoritarians running around.
He made a correct point about how and why women, generally make certain choices (is family over career), and gave his opinion on what that means. He did not give his advice to that specific woman, until she literally asked for it.
It would have been Authoritarian, if he wanted government policy to force that. Which he does not.
It is feminists who want to use government power to force equality of outcome that most women do not want.
We have decided that attacks, hyperbole and violence are the only way to achieve our goals (and I'm still not sure what those are). I don't how that can be intelligently defended. If we're giving up on using our minds, let's at least admit it.

He made an intelligent point, and argued it intelligently. The woman is the one that flipped out and started attacking him.

Ok, so I take it you do believe that women are seriously discriminated against in the work place, causing the "pay gap".
Have you at least heard the arguments for his position, and realize that they are not unreasonable?
I'm really having a problem with you dismissing him as " simplistic, ignorant ".
YOu can't have "compromise" or "cooperation" if you just dismiss people.
Especially if you are doing it, because you are accepting without question that the liberal position is so right that no one can reasonable disagree.
What I saw and heard, in my opinion, was a guy of below-average intelligence blurting out a string of simplistic generalizations so shallow that (a) even Hannity laughed and (b) I wasn't even sure if he was goofing around, maybe playing the role of stereotypical Archie Bunker neanderthal.
There. You asked. I'm not trying to anger or insult you. I was just leaving this alone. That was just my impression. And it is supported by the other videos I posted.
Maybe your guys will beat up enough people and cause enough damage that minds will change.
I have no idea what's going on at this point. I'm just the kid in the cafeteria, trying to eat his lunch during a food fight.

1. The Pay Gap is a generalization. Any point relevant to it, will be a generalization.
2. There is nothing unintelligent about pointing out the different choices women make, in the context of the Pay Gap debate.
3. Hannity did laugh. Because in our current political climate, hearing someone loudly and unabashedly stating the obvious truth, is shocking. I'm sure people gasped and laughed when the child pointed out that the Emperor was not wearing clothes.
4. I'm trying to help you understand. ANd the rise of the Proud Boys is a good thing. This is Middle America refusing to be marginalized by the Regressive Left.
I think the net result of behavior like this is negative, because it confirms and reinforces stereotypes and divides us even more. I don't think attacks and violence are the answer.
