    Completely understood. It's my fault, I'm sarcastic by nature and I guess I assume it comes across in type, obviously it does not. By the way, there is no such thing as a left leaning libertarian. Please explain, I am curious what that means.

    Actually there is such a thing. I have taken several political tests online and I fall in the spectrum of a Libertarian with leftist leanings.

    Left-libertarianism is a relevant political ideology.

    I agree completely. And totally acknowledge that the genders as a whole have differences and variations...As a whole, strengths and weaknesses. Can you acknowledge that while simultaneously supporting equality? I think so. You can see differences but not allow them to define a person.
    I personally loathe the glass ceiling argument. The women are discriminated against... women have more than proven their intelligence and capability. Perpetuation of some type of victimization (in America anyway) is just a tool for manipulation, usually political. Some people see poor pitiful you as support and validation. I see it as offensive.

    It's not just liberals who do this kind of irrational thing, it's actually human nature.

    Basically, it's human nature to ignore facts that contradicts a belief that humans are too emotionally invested in, and they can not be objective.
