Women control an overwhelming majority of all spending, income, and household wealth. The product wouldn't exist without being attractive to women in the first place.

Here in america my power bill consists of only one part, and I have the choice of whether to go fuck myself or allow the regional monopoly to price gouge me for electricity.

Google is LESS white than everybody else, it's only because SJW's suddenly decided that asians were white that the figures don't show that.

It's not that men are pigs, it's that women aren't pigs. The double standard is strong enough that even some feminist websites like Good Men Project openly refer to it as problematic.

It's also an out of date figure that mischaracterizes how bad the gender gap is by using the lag of higher level post-graduate degrees among wealthy white students to cover up everything else.

1/3rd is 33.33333%, 42.6% is less than 10% higher than that, and that was five school years ago with the trend continuing (if not accelerating) since then.

We throw tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars at girls and women to get them to choose technology or engineering as a major, but completely ignore that they're already a majority to an overwhelming majority of graduates in literally every other major and dominate every level of education. Evidently it's more important that women not be a mere ~5% less of a program that's already only 10% of the degrees conferred in the US than it is to do something about the fact men are barely 1/3rd of college graduates in the first place.

Because, yknow, that's not going to be unhealthy for society at all.

I'd say the baseline isn't just intelligence but specifically writing, abstract/imaginative thought, and the formation of communities along with a body plan that allows easy manipulation of the environment. Technologically advanced life requires an ability to record and transmit knowledge through generations, the ability to come up with new ideas, and the ability to work with enough others to accomplish various goals.

we did damn fine for the CENTURIES that we had much less plutocratic patent law.

This. Flipping open a box and typing in "Password" isn't hacking anymore than pushing open a door is picking a lock.

It's a years old model at this point. It WAS one of the top end magicshines at the time, now it's probably midrange compared to the thousand plus lumen multi-lights they've got. Bright side of mine though is the controls are much simpler and I get much better battery life. You can find them pretty much all over ebay.

One of the older magicshines I've had for a while. 900 lumens is closer to a regular headlight than highbeams, which can be into the thousands of lumens over a much larger area. As for bothering people... it's a headlight, it's SUPPOSED to be that bright. That's why you angle them down a bit.

For all the marketspeak and fancy looks they're still asking $140 for a 200 lumen light. That's about a half step above terrible. The light I use, which is pretty much the minimum brightness I would consider safe as a "see" and not a "be seen" light, is 900 lumens.

If they increased the price of something from 1 penny to 2 pennies that'd be a whole TWO HUNDRED PERCENT ZOMG. Nice use of percentages on a sub-dollar increase to try and make your argument sound scarier though.

You're demonstrably full of shit. McDonalds could DOUBLE their wages and completely pay for it by raising the price of a big mac less than 75 cents. There's also the issue of, yknow, literally every single other first world country on the face of the earth objectively disproving your bullshit claims.
