CNN tweet

It’s amazing to see threads like this from people who support Trump. Oh no CNN is making tweets for women, let’s check what the president is doing.... oh look at that he’s mistaking the Pulitzer Prize for the Nobel prize, only he repeatedly spells it wrong.

If stupid tweets are what you’re after, look no further than your own follows. Fucking guy is accusing citizens of murder and it’s met by silence, and after that silence you tell me I should be more concerned about CNN tweeting out articles for women.

No. If you’re coming across CNN tweets about how tough women are; might have something I do with what you’re looking for online.
Damn man. Take a breath.
 
You know, I can tell that was legitimate concern for my well-being and not the standard deflection off the topic and onto a game of who’s more triggered.

Thank you concerned fellow poster.
 
I dislike this women quite a bit for a number of reasons (morality being foremost); but I do understand this quote. It does make logical sense to me; losing multiple loved ones to something versus than dying from said thing. But fuck knows with that women, so I'm not sure, so carry on.
Men who aren't killed themselves also lose the same number of loved ones. There is a reason why in every homicide, the person killed is called the victim, and the family is called "the victim's family" and not "the primary victims". Everybody has to deal with the death of a loved one at some point, not everybody gets shot to death or blown up.
 
Nuance aside, I think women are more easily taken advantage of in the labor force and as consumers. This is part of the reason they're paid less and pay more for many consumer items on average.

Men, on average, know what they're worth and don't accept a penny less while women resort to whining on Twitter. One of these things is effective while the other is decidedly less so.

Women are statistically more likely to experience losing someone to war; as I say I don't agree with her statement, I see the logic of it. Unfortunately its nonsense use of statistics and emotion in arguments that gets us in trouble.

2/3 the three things Hillary mentioned in the tweet do not disproportionately affect women. When a father dies in war, it affects both his male and female kids. When a son dies in war, it affects both his male and female parents. The only one that would disproportionately affect women is husbands.
 
Keep thinking about it. You are a little slower than everyone else, but I believe you'll eventually get there.
The real number that should be tweeted is 11%, but that isn't as juicy as 28. The 11% needs to be worked out, but I believe that's just leftovers from another era. Considering men have dominated throughout history, 11% ain't too bad.

Even if that paygap is real, why should we expect it to come out equally? Their chart in the stat shows that almost 70% of healthcare workers are women, why isn't that considered problematic? Shouldn't CNN be asking why the ratio isn't 50/50? And its really hard to judge the accuracy of their claim when their source is just an institution, and not more specific.
 
Those women healthcare workers don't have to sign their freedom away to the government as a condition for full participation in society.

The ratios and reasons are never questioned. We're talking health care in general, which includes secretaries, assistants, nurses, technicians who clean the instruments, etc. Is it because more women apply for those jobs? That would need to be answered.

Every practitioner I've had in the last 10 years was female, but every specialist was male. Food for thought.

Also, I don't know if it's the same anywhere else, but here, I've been to two hospitals to have blood work done, and both places it's a room full of sassy, happy black ladies. I don't know if they have a monopoly on that market, but I thought that was funny.

Harvey Weinstein exists and he def did that shit; if convicted they should bury him under the prison. That fact gives me enough leeway to assume that women face awful sexism in the workplace and a further assumption that some of that shit effects the pay gap.

That's the best ive got to explain what essentially is a hunch.

What? You think Harvey Weinstein is enough to produce a measurable difference in wages in any sector? And how does Harvey Weinstein lead to their being way more women than men in healthcare?

He was an example of crazy bias in the workplace that I don't feel would happen if he were a woman, would not take place. Again im not saying its a magnificent argument, but that to me is clear evidence of terrible bias in society (he isn't the only example btw, Roger Ailes, et al). I cannot help but assume that is symptomatic of a wider problem, that is all.

This is my genuine opinion and i understand that is all it is.
 
Basically if rape, sexual assault and harassment has been so prevalent in a few industries, crimes committed by powerful men; I can believe women get paid a bit less than men. It just seems logical to me.
 
I'm trying to figure out what is wrong about the tweet?

Gee, that's a tough one. Maybe it's the fact that they are trying to equate men dying, to women be paid less in the medical field for having more nurses than doctors.

The point about pay is stupid enough. The topper to equate death to wages is just plain absurd.

Hope that helped solve your confusion.

What if there are jobs where women get paid more? Do you think that would be correlated with sexual assault against men?

I think you are not following the spirit of what I am saying; as I have said its an opinion based on a couple of assumptions. Powerfull men in industries have been abusing women for decades and that shit got covered up hard until very recently, its not too much of a stretch to believe that that kind of attitude had some negative effect on womens wages. As I have said its my opinion; if people think I am talking about flat earth, fair enough.

What "attitude"? Harvey Weinsteins and Joe Bidens of the world are an incredibly small % of people. Most people aren't rapists.
