Thats the problem with the US . We have had 8 years of weak-kneed diplomacy from everyone. Time to take the kid's gloves off , put this PC BS behind us and move on..As still the greatest , strongest nation in the world.
Someone been listening to too much Drumpf

I don't believe being tactful equates to being "PC"
Mr. Sowell makes the same point far more effectively in my humble.

yeah, so Gavin McInnes is outstandingly punchable as a human being. he is very much a troll.
that being said....
His core point, which was totally washed away in his desire to start swinging, is actually accurate (not happier, women should be home, etc..). The wage gap isn't some nefarious tool of the patriarchy wanting to both pay women less for the same job and also only hiring men anyhow. It is actually a reflection of choices. simple fact is men work more overtime than women, have more education in qualified fields, less vacation days, less sick days, etc...a number of factors that ultimately erase the wage gap to zero and it simply being a difference in earnings.
And yeah, its not about ambition..I think its equally ambitious for a woman to have a 35 hour a week job and raise a family somehow..moreso really than a guy just working 40-50 hours a week.

I will call BS on your post.
My wife and I are in similar positions at work, Hers since our son was born, mine slightly before. The big difference for us is I have support staff. She dosnt. She actually makes more than I do weekly, but she is salary not hourly.
It is more about what we agree to in negotiations to be hired. I will say my wife has worked overtime more in the last month than I have in the last 3 months.
