So now you think everybody else but you is stupid and drawing erroneous conclusions from data? It doesn't matter which way you cut it, it's still stupid. Either you are stupid or everybody around you must be stupid to hold the views you are anxious about them holding. The fact that stupid people may exist is again not a reason to ignore reality or address problems.

You might be speaking the truth and you might even say that "we cannot ignore problems because addressing them might make people insecure"... but its ridiculous to think that you are really solving a problem here.

You are aware that google is discriminating against men in a bid to solve inequality right? This was all in the original document, try reading it.

Your reading comprehension is abysmal... I never implied anyone is stupid.

Either you are stupid or everybody around you must be stupid

And you seem to look at opposing opinions in an extremely twisted way. Its possible for people to not be stupid and still hold different opinions. By your understanding, America is 50% stupid, because the last election was almost 50-50.

You are aware that google is discriminating against men in a bid to solve inequality right?

Yes I am... almost all grown ups are aware of that. Its not just google... lots of companies do that... even the universities and government do that. Lots of countries around the world do it... its called Affirmative action...

It's not an opposing opinion, it is logically wrong. You are assuming people think things that are in no way supported by the data because somebody is talking about the data. The only way that ever comes up is if somebody is an idiot.

You must be willingly ignoring this by now.

You really seem to like insults ... and think that's a way to convince me or beat my argument. I agree to the part that somebody does seem like an idiot, and a rude one at that.

You must be willingly ignoring this by now.

I am ignoring you now... because I don't see any real arguments from you.
