I support equal pay but, I also support paying equally.

Cost of living is higher in cities; so, people get paid more when they work in NYC instead of somewhere rural, even if they perform the same job.

If the cost of living is higher for men, paying for dates, prerequisite of homeownership to date, prerequisite of good credit to date, prerequisite of good car to date, pays for bills, pays for vacations, pays for gifts, pays for dinner, pays for everything his own and shared. Women only have to pay for their own stuff, all of which is reusable. You can wear that dress and makeup again but, we cannot reuse that money from our last date again.

So, if women refuse to chase and pay for men, their cost of living is less, and therefore, they get paid less. Men have to pay for everything; so, they get paid more. Makes sense, cost of living = compensation amount. Male/female = urban/rural

I still pay for dates and all (societal expectation). I still believe women deserve equal pay (morality). I also believe women are fully capable to do all of the things men do, like chase, court, & pay for dates (equality).

It’s not fair for one to have all the financial burden. It’s not fair for one to be paid less than the other. Fix both of those. One may be required for the other to occur.

So, let’s both do our part:

Men: start paying women equally, & don’t make it seem like some big deal, it’s just the right thing to do.

Women: start paying for dates/bills/vacations/etc., & don’t make it seem like some big deal, it’s just the right thing to do.

The QAnon-ification of the World

For all that Americans worry about foreign countries influencing their politics, it is American culture wars that are increasingly exported abroad. This article explores how QAnon and other MAGA conspiracy theories have taken root in the US and then spread to Eastern Europe, along with the global influence of Trumpism, especially concerning LGBT people.

Is this considered micro-aggression?

If I am an Asian immigrant working at a company in the U.S. and, after submitting my resignation, my boss says to me, “In America, we put in 2 weeks’ notice before resignation,” does this count as discrimination? By adding “in America, we,” doesn’t that imply that he considers me not one of them?

As a guy, why is it so hard to receive appreciation anymore?

I'm a 39m and why is it that most of my life, I have never gotten much appreciation from the women in my life? On the rare occasion a girl actually wants to date me, I've always provided everything to the girl I'm with. Worked my ass off so they didn't have to in order to give them the freedom to pursue what they wanted to do. I'd often come home with nice gestures like flowers or chocolates or random little gifts, leave them little notes around the house letting them know how much I love them. Let them live with me for free, never make them pay for anything, give them the good life and do everything in my power to make them feel special, and loved, and appreciated. Go out of my way to show that I care and that I want them in my life because I love them. And yet I've been cheated on twice. One, I literally walked in on it after coming home early, and when I told her she needed to be out by the time I got back from work the next day, she stole my dog and broke a bunch of my stuff. I've been taken advantage of to fuel their laziness and just stay home and do nothing. And I mean nothing. No nice gestures like maybe cleaning every once in a while, doing some laundry, just any basic chore that comes with living. Nope. Just sit around watching YouTube all day waiting for me to get home and cook something. Why is it so damn hard to just get a little appreciation for being the nice guy? Like, is this the kinda shit that turns men into incels? Because I'll tell you what, it's making me come to terms with a life of solitude. What's the point if I'm just gonna keep getting hurt? And what's the benefit? Sex? I never really got much of that anyway since apparently they were fucking someone else, so, I'm alright without. Companionship? Yeah, I guess. Friends can do that as well. Someone to love? Sure, but it has to be reciprocated. Whatever happened to 50/50? Isn't that what everyone is screaming about these days? Equality. So... where's the equality?

Japan's new law only helps women like royalty. Japan is the country in the world that cares the most about women and discriminates against men.

The law is called the “Difficult Women Support Law”.

Effective from April 2024.

All kinds of support for food, clothing, and housing are available without limitation.

No question of age, nationality, or status of residence is required.

No age, nationality, or status of residence is required.

Personal information is kept confidential.

However, only women are eligible.

In Japan, there is a system where only women can receive interest-free loans when starting a business.

Women can also easily receive welfare benefits.

Japanese women are often “full-time housewives” who do not work but only do housework. Many Japanese women say they want to marry a foreigner. However, Japanese women do not intend to work, so after marriage, the foreign men are often disappointed and divorce at a high rate.

The suicide rate of Japanese men is one of the highest in the world. This is because they are working all the time to support their families. Of course, wives do not work. Some wives do work, but only about 4 hours a day. Or they work 8 hours a day in their neighborhood. Men spend two hours commuting to work, work eight hours, and work overtime (the average one-way commute to Tokyo is a little over 50 minutes). And there is a tendency in Japan for men not to be whiny.

However, women say that Japanese men discriminate against women. And every day, Japanese self-proclaimed feminists complain about “discrimination against women” and women agree with them.

And recently “feminist” has even become a racist term in Japan (because it is a name for stupid feminists).

Just recently, some men have started to speak out after a major restaurant chain offered half-price meals only to women. This half-price campaign is illegal in the United States. Feminists argued that “women don't eat much, so it's only natural” and “men should be men and shut up,” and the women agreed. Until now, men have been told to “shut up like men” and keep their mouths shut.

In Japan, many movie theaters and restaurants have women's prices. In Japan, women originally paid less than men for food provided by the welfare system. This was due to the fact that women do not eat more. However, women claimed that it was unequal and started to receive the same amount as men. So why do we need women's prices?

If the above theory holds true, then the price of company cafeterias should be raised because women have lower incomes. Furthermore, since women pay less taxes than men, train fares should be three times higher, and hospitalization costs, which are covered by insurance, should be reduced.

There are plenty of systems in Japan that help only women, yet new laws are being passed all the time. On the contrary, there are no privileges that only men have in Japan.

Japan is the most female-dominated country in the world.

However, women keep saying, ``Japan is the country that discriminates against women the most in the world and gives preferential treatment to men!''

The arguments made by Japanese women are based solely on emotion and have no basis whatsoever.
