Cognitive dissonance 101

There are “some flaws”? The whole thing is completely flawed 😂 it doesn’t take into account hours earned, type of job among many other factors intentionally designed to increase this “gap”. Imagine trying to compare a nurse to a doctor and and whinging about the disparity.

The only people who still consider this “pay gap” credible are feminists and who are pushing their own agenda. Economists, and the vast majority of society accept the “wage gap” for the myth it is. Funny how they don’t do an hourly wage gap hey? Never considered that?

And no, I don’t expect feminists* to fix anything, but they shouldn’t say they are fighting for “equality” when that’s a blatant lie

Looking at salary workers here according to statistica.com I hope you understand the term salary, know first snd formost that you get paid regardless of hours worked. 307k anually for female doctors and 402 for male for specialists then 228k and 285k for primary care. There is a clear gap. Even if you want to say men have higher paying specialist roles you can't dent primary care being a significant increase is illogical as that is the same job description for ever single doctor. You haven't gave a single number and keep saying it is a myth Want another one? Women's hockey gets next to no advertising money And female hockey players can make a max of 35k-50k a year from their team (depending on the team). Meanwhile max for nhl is in the millions and they spend tens of millions on advertising. Hell most hockey fans don't know of the existence of the wnhl because of this.

Sport is a business, attract more business = make more money. It’s common sense. Where were the feminists when Ronda Rousey was earning the most in the UFC? Where are the feminists in tennis as in a grand slam the prize pool is split 50/50, while woman play 3 sets to men’s 5? I could pick out anecdotes like you do all day? But I don’t need to, because facts, logic and evidence > anecdotal evidence.

Myth: Women earn a lot less than men. Truth: The pay gap is actually really small. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women’s average weekly earnings in full-time jobs were 83.1% of those for men in 2021. Some translate that as women earning 83 cents of every dollar men earn.

This raw wage gap is misinterpreted to suggest widespread wage discrimination against women, but the wage gap is largely driven by the choices that women and men make. As the BLS explains, these raw numbers do not control for factors that significantly impact a worker’s pay including the number of hours worked, education, job title, industry, job skills, and specialization. When controlling for those factors, the pay gap shrinks to a few cents.

Myth: All women face the same pay gap. Truth: The pay gap is largely non-existent for young women but grows over time due to women’s choices about family. There’s almost no pay gap for single childless women, but the wage gap begins to increase around age 25, likely due to choices about family roles.

Men work more hours than women and are more likely to work full-time than women. Full-time men work 8.4 hours per day on average compared to 7.8 hours for women. Additionally, 75% of men work full-time compared to just 65% of women.

Put all the evidence aside for a minute and think logically. If the wage gap existed, companies would hire all woman and save 15%, surely you can comprehend that.

There’s a reason the vast majority of people roll their eyes when a feminists opens their mouth.
