"Bully for them" is a British slang term that means "good for them." It has nothing to do with bullying. I have a feeling you know that, though.

I'm not going to get into the gender pay issue with you. There are plenty of studies out there for you to read yourself. The 86% versus 67% varies due a woman's marital status, whether or not she has children and what race she is. Again, I think you might know this and you're simply trying to derail the conversation.

Aziz Ansari is not lying in a gutter, nor has his career been completely ruined.

In fact, Aziz Ansari has a new show that he produces and stars in called Master of None. In 2019 he came out with a new comedy special on Netflix. His net worth is $20 million.

My parents went through a nasty divorce. If you ask my dad, he thinks he was taken to the cleaners and treated unfairly. He wasn't, in any sense of the word. He paid minimal child support and had access to us whenever he wanted. He was the one who chose to have limited contact with us. (For the record, my mother was just as nasty throughout the divorce as he was, but only he thought he was getting the short end of the stick when he absolutely was not.)

So again, I wonder, where does this fantasy come from?
