The effort in which you put into this is admirable. I, on the other hand am lazy when it comes to arguing. It's usually not worth my effort, as in this case.

"The effort in which you put into this is admirable."
Thank you. It's not like I'm doing this for me. I hope this doesn't look fun to anyone.
"I, on the other hand am lazy when it comes to arguing."
Fair enough. I would accept a one line response to a factual claim I made that could actually be debated. I'm not looking for a research paper.
"It's usually not worth my effort, as in this case."
....and we're back to ad hominem.
I can't imagine debating with you is ever worth the effort, though I sacrificed some of my time to address you on the assumption you might not be a troll. You clearly have no interest in learning or the facts.
You're just here for the fleeting rush of endorphins that come from ranting at someone you perceive to be attacking your identity politics block on the internet. By golly, it feels good to punish that misogynist for stating those facts that I don't like! Facts that give me feelings I don't like must be wrong! I will rant at them and I will feel better!
I should know, I've done it too. After all, we are all only human, but we can learn to recognize and control our biases.
It's amazing, you can actually scan someone's brain during this effect and see it happening in real time as pleasure centers of the brain light up. Why do you think all mainstream media has completely forsaken actual facts and reason? Outrage pays and "feels" better to the audience. Learning and changing our opinions and ego-relevant views is hard!
You should take a lesson from how your host in this thread engages in discourse, to the very same comment you were unable to generate a civil response to.

Good day. Hit me up when you get tired of sitting in the dark. I'll still be here, not impugning your character for highlighting facts of public record.
This is all quite amazing. The fact that you edited this response 13, yes 13 times, to get it just right speaks directly to my previous word usage, admirable. (I apologize for the incomplete picture, I couldn't capture all of the edits on one screen.)
So when I say I'm too lazy to argue, it's true. I like to sit back, take it allllllll in and then break it down to it's basic elements. In your case I stand by my initial assessment that you have certainly been "triggered".
I think my favorite part of all this is that you have no idea where I stand. For you never took the time or effort to ask before launching into schooling me. For all you know, I could agree wholeheartedly with you, or not.
I don't know about the endorphins, but you have given me more than a fair share of laughter, as I could hardly classify my meager responses as a "rant". I feel it is a title for which I haven't earned. But hey, it was free, so I'll take it.
I haven't the desire to trade fisticuffs with a social justice warrior today. I'm a retired lady of leisure that prefers to sit on my beautiful blue chair out in the woods and read. Today will be one of my favorite authors, Isaac Asimov.
