@MyPresidentme This is the most insightful response you could muster?

@poodleofdoom Odd criticism, considering Trump wasn't even wearing one

@FarGreaterAsset Are you kidding me?

@RyanPauly3 Why would a human chromosome be flanked by non-human primate sequences?

@rowshuss I guess the male MDs aren't worthy of having their full name printed. Sexist indeed.

@kgurbaaa That would be nice, but not feasible. The money must come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the revenue generated.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa Why not? People continually are more interested in female models. We look at them in ads, fashion shows, etc. They deserve it.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa Also note that each team collectively bargained for their compensation plans. To an extent, they're reaping what they've sowed.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa We could. Let's talk models -- do you feel that the exponentially higher pay for female models than male models is justified?

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa The women's team has routinely been beaten by adolescent boys soccer teams (high school and club teams, not professional teams).

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa Women are much better in their competition pool than men. However, the talent/skill gap between the genders is vast.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa So many of the people complaining are the same ones that watch or buy a ticket to the men's game instead of the women's.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa For fairness, look at a 4yr cycle to include the WC for both. Men roughly doubled the revenue of brought in by the women.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@kgurbaaa When you compare a World Cup year to a non-WC year (as in this situation), of course they do.

@lissully_ It's a revenue-based business. Not to mention the NBA had to fund the WNBA for a while because it couldn't support itself.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@lissully_ Not until they're drawing in the same amount of ticket sales and viewers. They aren't as good, so less people watch.

[Mad Scientist @TasteTheScience]

@lissully_ Really? So, for example, you honestly believe WNBA players deserve the salary of NBA players?

@c_tuck5 What is your idea of the patriarchy and how, specifically, is it "holding you back?"

@brettcap What's your issue with GMO salmon? Or GMOs in general?

@FinisherMedal Interesting way to say, "I'm wholly unqualified to assess the evidence and dismiss it."
