Tired Myths Need to Be Laid to Rest

There are many tired myths, and many tiresome ones, which are spread around by the various ideologies which compete to ruin the culture. The feminist ideology has its share of these, too. Surprisingly, an article in Time (of all places) discusses five false myths which are endlessly repeated by feminists. These include the silly repeated claim about women earning 77 cents to the dollar that men earn (it may be true on average, but averages are deceiving), and the one about how nearly 20% of college women are victims of sexual assault. It also blows up the idea that women earn only 10% of the world's income (American women alone earn 5.4%), or that a near-majority of ER visits by women are due to domestic violence (it is a plurality of violence-related hospital visits, but these are a tiny minority of all ER-visits overall).

The article is worth the read.
