    When she is out earning the other women in her field, she can speak up on this topic

    “Only the highest paid women in their occupation can discuss the gender pay gap”

    This is literally the fucking stupidest take I can conceive one may have on the topic. I quite honestly can not even imagine a worse one, because any “worse” one at least would more honestly betray the sexism of the holder. You’ve managed to hit peak bad faith argument before slipping into overtly championing sexism.

        For those of us with the capacity to have two non-competing ideas in our heads at once, it’s extremely easy. The mental gymnastics you have to do here in order to maintain exactly one concept in your head at once honestly looks painful to me.

        Yes, she has earned more money than most people ever will. That’s problem #1.

        Yes, there is a wage gap. That’s problem #2.

        Any person with a shred of mental capacity doesn’t have to make a choice between these two ideas.

        And like, Sandra Bullock made bank, so there is no gender pay gap? Fucking sweet. There was a black president, so racism is done too, right?

        Err, wait, sorry… By your logic, since I’m a member of a race that isn’t generally discriminated against, I’m probably not allowed to acknowledge that racism exists for others?

            See, that’s my exact point. You can’t keep track of even two things.

            By your logic, she is simultaneously:

            1. Not well paid enough to speak on the issue, (because Sandra Bullock?)

            2. Paid too much to be able to speak on the issue (because she needs a second yacht?)

                Well, no, because you already said she needs to make more than Sandra Bullock, who makes more than her, but she already makes too much.

                It’s like asking me to pick a number that is both larger than 10 and smaller than 5. There is no such number.

                    JFC now you’re saying she thinks women can’t earn more than her? “I think I’d earn more as a man” and “I think women can’t out earn me” aren’t even close to the same statement.

                    I swear to god it’s just a steady stream of you just making shit up. It’s obvious why nobody can keep up with you: you’re existing in a fantasy where you’re fabricating a reality completely unteathered from the one the rest of us are existing in. I genuinely envy the freedom you have to reason from a context unconstrained from the annoyances of trying to reconcile your position with objective reality.
