Maybe you need to look those words up again, or learn to use them correctly.

Yes, many women get pregnant, but I think it's unfair that women who want to have families (or indeed women who don't; many employers specifically avoid hiring women of a childbearing age), should be penalised and paid less if they're doing the same job.
That male teacher never put his hands anywhere near the girl. He merely saw the girl take papers out of her skirt. The funny thing is, if the male teacher had reported this to a next door female teacher and then if the female teacher had reported the girl for cheating, it would have been legally okay. There is one anti-male law for you; the incident got him in deep trouble for merely stopping a student from cheating.

About the words we are disputing over; why don't you look up the word "solipsism" and maybe we can be on the same level?

Your 3rd argument. In a strictly feminist view, you can argue that these pregnant women are being "penalized" for being paid less. In another point of view, the "non-pregnant" men who can work more efficiently w/o as many burdens would be "penalized" for being paid the same as a woman who can't ultimately contribute more in the end. That's just nature, and if you ask me, I'm pretty comfortable with it.
