    Modern Feminism

    REBUTTALS Con: "Actually, the "wage gap" has to do with comparing lower-rate jobs to higher-rate jobs, and women in higher rate jobs are newer, thus receiving less pay." 1: Con continues to fail to cite a single source. I've cited 4 studies that corroborate my point. 2: Con's point doesn't make sense. The wage gap didn't change significantly between 2000 and 2010 [15]. Yet during that period "women in higher rate jobs" worked 10 years, potentially getting promotions and pay raises, without shrinking the wage gap. Con: "But I guess a sexist-feminist like yourself wouldn't understand." 1: This is ad hominem. Simply because I am feminist does not mean that I cannot understand or that I'm incorrect. Con: "And by the way, look up the stats. There are, in fact, a higher percentage of welfare recipients that have NO JOB APPLICATION OUT that consistently vote democrat. Democrats are the moochers and bad people that simply can't do anything without a hard working tax payer holding their hand. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT! Political views are all about personality. Republican voters tend to have a higher work ethic than democrat voters. This is pure analysis of the voting public. Like it or not, democrats tend to be the lazier party that doesn't do any work on their own. Detroit, bankrupt, democrat controlled. Chicago, not very stable economic situation, highest murder rate in the country, democrat controlled. WASHINGTON D.C., UNTIL NOW THEY'VE BEEN ON THE DRASTIC DECLINE IN ECONOMICS! THE ONLY REASON WE ARE STARTING TO HAVE DEBT REDUCING BUDGETS IS BECAUSE THERE IS A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE NOW! And Hillary herself her family was, "dead broke," when they left the White House. So yes, democrats tend to mooch off of other hardworking people." 1: Condescension, much? CAPS? 2: Con continues to fail to cite a single source. 3: Research suggests that political ideology has very little to do with whether or not someone got food stamps [21]. There exists a work requirement for welfare, suggesting against "mooching" [22]. Welfare actually has empirically been proven to make people more likely to work [17]. And, in fact, majority-Republican states are the largest recipients of federal welfare, while majority-Democrat states come closer to breaking even [18][19][20]. Con paints a picture of Democrats as moochers, when welfare is quite bipartisan. Con: "Now, in conclusion, I have shown you why my ideals point me this direction, all you have done is suck on the lie that "women aren't equal."" 1: Good to know Con's ideals determine his interpretation of reality, not vice versa. Con: I have very well shown that there is a distinct difference between TRUE and MODERN feminists. TRUE feminists, being hardworking, ethical women supporting equality (REPUBLICANS). MODERN feminists, being lazy, mooching, evil, pro-female superiority (DEMOCRATS). 1: Con has failed to respond to any of evidence, which actually had citations, and which actually quoted feminists. Said evidence showed that modern feminists and Con's prefered feminists are actually one and the same: Supporters of equality: REASONS FOR DECISION Conduct: Con has consistently talked down to Pro. Grammar: Con has often USED ALL CAPS to make their points. Arguments: Con has failed to show that a wage gap does not exist; Pro has provided multiple studies that suggest otherwise. Con has failed to show that modern feminism promotes female supremacy, while Pro has used numerous sources to show the opposite. Con has attacked Democrats for qualities that Pro has shown they do not have. Sources: Con has 22 sources. Pro has 0. Con's sources include federal studies, opinion polls, and numerous actual quotes. Vote a 7-point Con ballot!
