How to Explain American Exceptionalism to Your Friends

/ warriorwoman91 / 1 Comment

I heard a friend of mine try to explain the “American way” to a group of people the other night. He said he believed it was a “state of mind” yet provided little else to contribute to that definition. I have to say I wept a little bit inside when I heard this explanation, since so many in our country fall under this category of not being able to define what makes America unique when compared with the rest of the world. I have to thank the great Rush Limbaugh for finally giving me a resonating answer that I can give my friends who don’t understand why America is exceptional.

The rule of the world has historically been one of tyranny, poverty, despotism, and misery. Great empires have risen and fallen, bloody wars have been fought—yet still when the dust settled the rule has always been poverty and tyrannical rulers, death and taxes. This was the rule, until the United States came into being as the first country to be founded on the idea of freedom. Freedom to worship, freedom to speak, freedom to build, freedom to learn, freedom to improve your own life—all without the interference of government or controlling leaders. No other nation recognizes these rights like America has! As a nation founded on these ideas of freedom, the United States has been the only one to break free of the rule of poverty, tyranny, and misery while still recognizing the inherent human rights of its citizens. America is not exceptional because its people are somehow biologically superior or because we have some self-inflated ego about ourselves. America is exceptional because its way of life is the sole exception to the rule of tyranny.

How to Debunk the Gender Pay Gap to Your Friends

BREAKING NEWS: I’M OFFENDED

That’s right folks, I’m offended by that feminist lie that women are yet again victims of another patriarchal evil known as the gender pay gap–the idea that women are paid substantially less than men for equal work simply because they are women. This nonsensical idea is fed by reports from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Office of National Statistics, based on what journalist Milo Yiannopoulos explains as broad averages of men and women from all societies, all income levels, and all walks of life regardless of other factors. The feminist infested culture latches on to these statistics as evidence that there is massive discrimination against women in the workplace, indoctrinating many unsuspecting culture consumers who passively receive only partial facts.

There are several reasons why this notion that discrimination in the workplace causes women to earn less is false:

-women work more part-time jobs

-women choose jobs that are lower paid

-as child bearers, women are more likely to stay at home taking care of children rather than working in a paid capacity

-men tend to work more difficult and more dangerous jobs

The most deceitful way that feminists assert that there is a discriminatory wage gap is by presenting wages as if they are the same as earnings. By explaining the difference between the two, you can easily debunk the gender pay gap to your friends with my simple illustration. If there are two employees, one male and one female, each doing the same job for $10 an hour, they make the same wage. However, if the female employee chooses to work part time while the male chooses a full time position, the male will necessarily earn more income overall than the female. Feminists–and liberals in general–will disingenuously imply that women only earn less because they are paid a lower wage solely due to the fact they are women, which in reality is completely untrue.

So the next time Hayley Atwell or Jennifer Lawrence trots out on stage complaining that they made less money than the men they worked with, remind your friends that Western women are not victims, they have free reign over the types of work they choose, and if they really want to make as much or more money than men they should go out and earn it!

Why Twitter Is Better Than Facebook

/ warriorwoman91 / 1 Comment

I’ve often complained that my FaceBook experience is far inferior to the fun and games we all have on Twitter, so I thought I’d elaborate on just what exactly makes Twitter so much better than FaceBook.

Twitter is open

Probably the best example of why Twitter is a superior platform to FaceBook is it is an open network. The premise of Twitter is that unless you have a protected account—and who wastes their time with those—everything you post on Twitter is visible to anyone and everyone else on the Internet. Twitter is your own little broadcast network that can be as big or as small as the effort you put into it; therefore it is a given that personal, sensitive, or intimate material is posted at your own risk. In contrast, FaceBook is the Soviet Union of social networking—unless you have an active following virtually no one can see your content due to FaceBook’s limiting and restrictive algorithims. The rules that must be adhered to and the hoops that must be jumped through in order for the average person to grow their network are nearly impossible to overcome, and many would say it’s just not worth the effort. This idea that social networking should or can be limited to you and just your personal friends is contrary to its purpose, as the sharing of ideas and information should be allowed to go far beyond your immediate sphere of influence.

Twitter is impersonal

This is a huge (or yuge if you’re Donald Trump) advantage that Twitter has over FaceBook. Somehow I always feel obligated to respond to people on FaceBook even if I don’t want to for fear of offending someone. Other times, I feel I have to think and rethink what I’m about to post on FaceBook, wondering if this post might offend this person or seem inappropriate to that person. Still other times I really would rather not be friends with a particular person, yet I might offend him or her by unfriending or blocking whomever it is on FaceBook. It the social justice warrior’s dream where everyone has to walk on eggshells to prevent people from being offended, or suffer the consequences! With Twitter there is none of this flip-flopping over what I want to post or who I unfriend or unfollow—it’s not personal, so I don’t have to care.

Twitter levels the playing field

This is my favorite part of Twitter—the fact that I get to digitally meet and exchange ideas with people that in any other circumstance I would never get a chance to communicate with. Imagine a Californian getting to connect with conservatives in other states, a U.S. based college student sharing ideas with a British celebrity, or an average fan of a T.V. show getting to communicate with one of its actors. These are only a few of the ways that Twitter has broken down the traditional barriers between the middle class and the elite that FaceBook and it’s elaborate barriers only work to reinforce.

Twitter is a free for all

Anything, and I mean anything, goes on Twitter. If the U.S. would loosen the restrictions on its economy the way Twitter has allowed most information sharing to be unrestricted, we’d be going gangbusters! It is universally understood by most Twitter users that you are undoubtedly going to see everything offensive—whether it’s an opinion you dislike or a picture with graphic content—and that’s the nature of the free for all. FaceBook would restrict all content which it subjectively determines to be offensive in pursuit of some fascistic utopia where no one gets offended and no one really has any contact with other ideas. Unfortunately, with PC fears beginning to encroach on Twitter the free for all may not for much longer. So if I could give one piece of advice to Twitter I would ask that it continue to be the opposite of everything that FaceBook stands for by loosening restrictions and facilitating the unlimited exchange of ideas.
