    I prefer an evidence-based argument, and on the evidence so far your only interest is in pointing out where women are paid more than men. It might be ad hominem, but it also helps to understand your agenda and to evidence your lie that you’re interested in ALL pay discrepancies.
    Again with the personal stuff. I'm not thin skinned in general, but have a low threshold for unrelenting bull****.
    Normally I would try to be polite and cater to people's preferences, but in your case and special brand of thickness, I'll make an exception. Since you can't read the posts properly, conduct an argument properly, and more than anything, since you are clearly defending a gender based pay gap, I will leave you with one thought...

    You enshrine some unpleasant and very biased views which seem to cloud your ability to read and absorb information or have a civil discussion. At the moment, it's making you an unpleasant person to interact with. If you work on it, you might be able to improve.

      Unfortunately that describes General to a tee, especially any financial related thread started by Scoots.

        Quite surprisingly apart from the to and fro above this thread hasn't devolved into the usual chaos you see in General.

          People from Scotland are renowned for their cool temperament (to match the cold climate) and ability to remain well mannered even when confronted with extreme irritants

            It seems unpleasant to you because you’re holding a view that doesn’t look nice when a mirror is held up to it.

            Sorry that I’m not joining your misogynistic circle jerk and agreeing with you that women tennis players are overpaid on the basis of some low-grade maths and showing little appreciation for the wider socio-economic factors for why this is an anomaly in gender pay balance and not the norm.

            When you post a more balanced narrative that fits your professed desire for all pay gaps to be narrowed, and not just the rare example of where women’s pay might be higher than men’s, then perhaps I’ll respect your argument more.

            Vetran has a far better argument than you do, and he’s thick as mince.

              Keep jogging to the next thread, troll.

                  Property prices in Edinburgh? Why would I have an interest in that, I don’t have the temperament for it. ;-)
