are you fricking kidding me
You sound like people who say women are "asking for" rape when they wear "revealing" clothing.
Sanders is a joke, and the wage gap is a joke, and the justice system in the US is a joke. What they did is take all the wages of men and women and put them up side by side. Men make more because they take up the harder, dangerous and higher paying jobs than women do.
Feel however you want about Bernie Sanders, but keep this in mind about the wage gap:
1. It changes when you look at men and women in the same positions—but the fact that women are often strongly encouraged to go into certain types of work and discouraged from others are part of the reason the wage gap exists, not a reason why it doesn't. Seriously, the type of harassment women often get in high-paying fields like engineering is ridiculous.
Here's an analysis.
2. "Different positions" are sometimes effectively the same except when it comes to pay. For example, a company might promote a man to Junior Manager and a woman to Assistant Junior Manager, and pay them differently while having them do the same thing. For this reason, a brute force comparative analysis is insufficient.
3. Even if you take the two things above into account, the wage gap
still doesn't disappear entirely.
The problem with rape accusations is that is really just goes down to whose word do you believe. And of course, people will typically believe that a man is guilty, just because that's the social norm.
The social norm?
Statistically speaking, false rape accusations are ridiculously rare. See
this estimation published by the Enliven Project. While exact numbers are difficult to find for obvious reasons, it's clear that this epidemic of false rape accusations many people are afraid of is a myth.
Furthermore, it really isn't the general social norm (although you can probably find subcultures where it is). Hell, it's so far to the opposite that googling "believing rape victims" will give you a bunch of articles about why people don't, from former US Representative Akin who talked about "legitimate rape" to
this judge who decided it was okay to rape prostitutes because he didn't like them to a police department that
essentially brainwashed a traumatized woman into believing her rape had never happened and punished her for lying, then found the rapist a year later.
But all this aside, why the heck are you talking about this? Who brought it up? It's like you meant to post to The Red Pill or Return of Kings but somehow ended up here instead. This is not at all a good place to discuss this sort of thing.
