I've recently returned to university, the overwhelming majority of students here in arts degrees are female and the overwhelming majority in STEM degrees are male. Maybe we come from very different parts of the world, but that's just the reality I see around me where I am.

I realise that this is a bit of a non-sequitur to your post, but I don't feel like people sing the praises of this miracle method of birth control enough whenever the issues of children and careers come up.

The world certainly does not need more children. I just got myself a vasectomy as a 25th birthday present to myself and I wish I'd done it sooner and am finding myself recommending it to everyone. The amount of vitriol I've received from people for getting what is a reversible and one of the most effective, least…

Yeah I don't care for the implication that just because the world is run by old men that means they as a demographic don't struggle to be employed in positions for which they are more than qualified more often than not, in spite of a willingness to work. The kinds of jobs people are always talking about when this…

That's what I was going for, nice catch

I don't know, how about tracking down, capturing and prosecuting the individuals responsible instead of indiscriminately murdering unrelated families who are seeking refuge in UN facilities because their homes have already been destroyed. JUST A FUCKING IDEA.

Ding ding ding. Congratulations, you've just said the dumbest thing in the thread, simultaneously losing all credibility, damaging your position, making yourself look stupid, displaying sociopathic tendencies and losing the argument. Nothing to see here folks. You can all go home now. Lt Hurwitz has just performed the…

Don't forget plain disrespectful to Berry and his band as performers. Oh so the stage is on fire, half the audience has left and the venue smells like burning fumes? Yeah, that is hard to follow…

He discovered that children have things called Marlocks in their bodies and when an adult has sex with a child the Marlocks implode, filling the adult receptive cavity with energy that causes immortality, so sayeth Sir Harris of Rolf

Nope, not at all

So what you're implying is it wasn't peadophilia because you also find the thirteen year old girl he married attractive? Cool story bro

I loved the Peacekeeper Wars personally. It had some parts in in it that could have been stronger, but It wrapped up everything in a very interesting and very Farscape way and I really can't imagine the series having any other ending. More shows should end with epic two part films.

It's at various times brilliant and interminably boring.

You don't earn '77c to a mans dollar'. A male employed in the same job role at the same company would earn exactly the same amount of money you do. There are laws concerning this. It is women on average who earn less than men, not you specifically and the average is affected by the fact that many women don't work,…

No I don't buy it. Even if there are a limited number of roles that women are depicted as fulfilling in the media only a very dull and weak-minded person would fail to see beyond it or see that as the limits of what they can achieve. I still think it's just blaming the media for a bunch of individuals lack of…

Well, you're incorrect, although I couldn't really care less about arguing that point with you.

Fair enough, continue spending your life complaining about how you aren't successful and men have everything handed to them because there weren't enough female characters in the pixar movies you watched as a kid, instead of doing any actual work or trying to better yourself somehow. You're really making the world a…

I think it's indicative of the general drop in the intelligence of avclub readers since the great Dissolve contributor exodus.

Does the average take into account the fact that a lot of women either choose not to work or work part-time as they view it as the mans responsibility to provide? I can see how that could quite easily drag down the average.

Excellent rebuttal. you've completely changed my perspective! Did you learn these amazing rhetorical skills in your gender studies class?
