Explain how claims of a gender paygap ignores biological reality. Or sexual liberation for that matter. Or that women aren't inferior to men.

Women aren't inferior to men, they're entirely different biological entities (relative to human species). As they say, "they contemplate each other". The differences between men and women at the biological and psychological level does mean that they are the same or can do the same thing. A woman isn't as strong as a man, a man isn't as social as a woman.

Sexual liberation ignores numerous realities about pair-bonding and the nature of human sexual relationships, leading to societal failures.

The GPG is indeed a myth, I never claim it was a biological one though. But it is highly related to the gender-based differences, there are numerous natural reasons why men get payed more on average (although not systematically, we are all payed same wage on base level). Actually in some industries, such as nurses, women are paid more on average than men.

Firstly pair bonding wasn't what made the first human tribes succesful. Women having multiple partners did. It ensured genetic diversity and ensured all men had an equal stake in all children.

Secondly if you mean compliment then yes somewhat, males and females evolved in compliment to each other. However that does not translate over to either specifically needing to be with the opposite sex to flourish, especially not today.

Thirdly there is a wage gap. And men in female dominated industries are treated preferentially, so no female nurses are not paid more than males.

Finally you said if you reject gender ideology based on biological reality... it implies you see a link between the two.

Men who think the gender pay gap is a myth certainly are... but ya know I try not to judge them. They are very simple minded creatures.

I bet you I don't.

But also, if you think you're somehow clever or original for making fun of women for making a living... you are sadly mistaken sir. That started in about oh 4000BCE.

Hey, edit head. Did you actually read the article, because it pretty much disproves your argument, despite the neat sounding title? Or were you just hoping I wouldn't read it?

PS. The article also confirms and talks about the female gender wap gap... so like... are you agreeing there's a female wage gap? Or did you just not read the article?

Did you? It disproves your own point.

The Office for National Statistics estimates that across all roles surveyed, there was an average of 9.3% difference between men’s salaries and women’s salaries, with men earning this amount more than women per hour. That means for every £1 earned by a man, a woman earns 90.7 pence.
