"Stop ordering me around. Every day I pity your wife."

I suppose you haven't noticed that when you continue to use the same lame retort, I am forced to repeat myself as well.

Here goes:

Oh, no, I wouldn't want you to obey me. That might start a trend where you actually listen to what people have to say, and that could overload both your heavily burdened brain cells. I have no need to order anyone around, and in fact, my politics and personal opinions are all about nobody ordering anybody around. But that would be obvious if you read what other people post occasionally.

No, when I tell you to "stop insulting people and answer my questions," I'm suggesting you follow the rules of logic and debate, wherein you attempt to actually civilly answer questions posed to you and respond to arguments posed by others. To repeat, I am suggesting. I can't order you to do anything. You have freedom of speech and volition, and I just post things here. I have no other power over you than persuasion.

I have nonetheless recognized that attempting to persuade you is exactly the same as trying to convince a liberal to accept responsibility. I don't expect to persuade you to be an adult and accept logical discourse as a standard to post by, but I try, because not trying, not struggling to improve this world, is akin to expecting the world to provide me with its riches. Sort of the opposite of you, expecting the world to provide for you because you're the "victim" of a "male-dominated society." I don't expect you to accept logic as your guide here, because based on your past record on this thread, you would continue to eschew logical discourse even if a big logic monster with logic-laden eyes and logic-laden breath and logic-laden fangs dripping with logic-laden blood bit you on the ass. Notwithstanding my pessimism, I continue addressing you to utilize you as a useful example to others of illogic and its folly. So even though I doubt you may one day learn to argue like a grownup, you still serve a purpose for others.

Again, your irrelevant comments are intended to obscure the issue here, which is your original claim that women are paid less than similarly qualified men for the same work, a claim for which you have refused to provide any evidence, beyond a single anecdote you will not properly qualify.

Stop posting illogical tripe, and insulting people, and answer the questions I posted.
