The Gender Pay Gap Problem is a "Myth" (Page 3)

[SketchForger]

It is in the US anyway. Disproportionate? Yes. Unfair? Depends on your perspective.

[Anonymous]

It’s a myth here in the USA anyway because if they do the same job as me then they get paid the same as me

[Markfish]

Women earn less as an overall because they chose less lucrative majors at university. It's their own choice.

[CubsterShura]

It exists in third world countries. :(

[TheGreatShepherd]

Ah yes i meant to do a bit on that! I sort of mentioned it in the conclusion, that we should focus on the third world and helping women there.. Thats if you genuinly care about the well being of women and not just selfish

[bacca400]

I'd believe that. I think the assumption here is we're talking about America.

[CubsterShura]

He should have addressed that. This is a website for users from all countries. "This is America" doesn't apply here.

[TheGreatShepherd]

I should of specified I was talking about purely Western Societies... I will in future...

[CubsterShura]

It does. Especially here in the garments factories 60% of workers are women, they work for longer hours yet get less wage. Women working in garment industry are heavily exploited and that's why fast fashion is so unethical.

[CubsterShura]

Maybe you are the one who is being ignorant, oh wait no, CHOOSING to be ignorant because of your lack of understanding of feminism and choosing to act cool by hating on it? What good have you done for the world, mister? Where is your Nobel Peace Prize?

[JesseTheMan]

Well technically not. Average woman makes less than the average man. But that doesn't really matter if the average woman works in a field with lower average wages.

Anyways, good post.

[ronaldo75]

Black men make 68% of what white women earn... Black women make LESS when they work for white women than when they work for white men... where are feminists on this fact? quiet... why?

[redrocket68]

Because it doesn't fit the "white men are evil and the cause of all the worlds problems narrative."

[jennifer_bloom]

I agree that it is a myth

[Tomblebee]

Maybe women are more tolerant of pain and suffering: childbirth. Do not speak up out of fear: spiders. Do not negociate high wages: non-gamblers. Generalised, illinformed little novice 😊

[TheGreatShepherd]

You have proved my point, even younger more uninformed smaller novice

[Tomblebee]

I was describing myself with those adjectives...
Why downvoterzz? 😳😔😞😅

[TheGreatShepherd]

Ah okay its because people thought you were attacking me

[Tomblebee]

I was trying to re-inforce you rpoint but i called myself those things because i only read your subheadings lol.

[bacca400]

Wired Magazine talked about a study that showed women are, in general, bad at negotiating salary, so that's a part of it. I think that article was in 2017.

[Tomblebee]

Myths in general are bassed on a lack of understanding.

[John_Doesnt]

The pay gap is very real it is perpetuated by the lizard people of the Andromeda galaxy.

[eatadic]

Feminism is based on lies. SO yeah, this is one of their main pillars.

[My-Shangri-La]

It’s a TOTAL myth. I feel so bad for women who believe it

[TheUglyMan]

WOMEN CAN PERSUE ANY JOB THEY WANT! NOTHING IS STOPING THEM! DROP THIS SILLY MYTH!

[Anonymous]

One thing feminists leave out of this is that women are often much more dependent on the government for financial help.

[N23SA]

very informative, good take

[Anonymous]

No true. And you can look at the data to see it's happening all over the world.

[Opinion Owner]

*Not

[TheGreatShepherd]

Again, as you saw I didn't use data in this, but instead explained why the data from this area is distraught and Representative

[TheGreatShepherd]

misrepresentation

[Angelina25]

Good take.

[RedRobin]

Nice take

[Juxtapose]

It is a complete and total myth. Next!

[Anonymous]

Yeah.

[SodaInACardboardBox]

oh my.. not this again
