Here's a case where a comment left in response to a video rises far above the actual video in terms of intellectual quality. The video is by the vlogbrothers and basically it's the more famous of the two (he wrote a bunch of ridiculously over-rated books) doing his best to save face. He spends half the video back-peddling to take back assertions he made in a previous video and the rest throwing up smoke to make his half-witted errors seem a little bit less half-witted. The choir is likely to forgive him since he's singing their song, but he's not impressing anybody who's not already a member of the Moron Retardnacle Choir!
So you know the whole "God in the gaps" phenomenon? People used to think the gods lived on the top of mountains, like Mt. Olympus, until people climbed those mountains and didn't find Zeus. OK then maybe God lives in the clouds, until we figured out how clouds actually worked. Well then maybe God is in the stars? Then we found out what space is like and now God has to live somewhere else. So now in 2016 we aren't sure what happened before the big bang and we haven't gotten a good grasp of quantum mechanics yet, so maybe that's where God lives.
This entire video was basically "Sexism in the gaps". We start out with the whole 77 cents on the dollar and everyone shouting about how that $0.23 is all sexism. And then we correct for hours worked and the pay gap shrinks to 16 cents, which are now by the way totally sexism you guys... this time for real seriously, patriarchy! And then we correct for education, job experience, and career choice then the pay gap shrinks to 4 cents. And then NOW you guys ... this time, it's sexism OK. could it not be possible (and very probable based on the way this argument has been going for decades) that if we were to take a closer look at that 4% we'd find more totally not sexist reasons that men and women are paid differently. Maybe men and women negotiate for raises in different ways, maybe men and women enjoy different types of jobs. Or maybe it's disingenuous to claim that any wage gap that cannot be explained must therefore be explained as sexism.
