I'm waiting for the first goober to argue with me so I can hit them with an ass load of sources.
it doesn't take into account different jobs, or hours worked. Yet it is constantly bandied about as if every male cashier (or whatever) makes significantly more than women doing the same jobs. it's a lie. and not only is it an outrageous lie, but politicians/celebrities etc constantly say "yeah it's pretty bad" without offering any real solution to this "problem".
ps. it's been illegal to discriminate against women since like, the 60's.
everything below is an edit, because someone asked. all these sources either refute the "myth" outright or explain it's much more complicated than the usual talking point.

I think women mainly choose jobs that don't require any physical work or are life threatening. Think about it. It explains why you've (probably) never seen a women on a construction site, actually helping build the structure, and why almost every teacher In school is a female.

56 AntwortenWhat? I worked at Walmart for 4 years as a cashier, had prior experience and still got paid almost 2 dollars less than a male cashier that started working, around the same time as me with no prior experience. He was my -blam!-ing roommate. "I've never seen a woman get paid less doing the same thing as a man so it just doesn't happen ever, anywhere!" The very definition of ignorance.

1 AntwortenThe gender wage gap is an alternative fact :^)

3 AntwortenCashiers? That's not the argument. The argument is that at executive level positions, women make significantly less money than men in the same positions, not at bottom feeder level. For the record, I am at bottom feeder cashier level.

1 Antwortenso as it's illegal - in America - to pay female workers less than males the problem does not exist? I'm really sorry but you gotta admit that this sounds slightly ignorant. It may not be as much of a problem as the news tell us (idk honestly) but completely denying it isn't the way to go either.

3 AntwortenI am skeptical that the gender wage gap is as severe as people claim, but one problem with one of your points: employers are not required to report whether or not all employees are paid equally. The average person has no way to definitively say whether or not their pay scale is equal to everyone else's in their work place.

It should be about qualifications. Some people no matter what are going to argue 2+2=5 no matter if they are wrong. They never can accept they are wrong. Nor can they accept that they were passed ect due to qualifications or they are difficult to work with. Some people have the luck of knowing people. You can argue that one but it has no affect on wages between one gender or the other. All this shows as like any thing that one group is trying to get a leg up using politics and the pity party to get sympathy or support.

8 AntwortenI don't think there is much that pisses me off more than people spewing bullshit about the "wage gap" despite it being a disproven myth on countless occasions. I have many employees at a Dental office. 8 of these employees are women, one of these employees is a man. I pay that man significantly more than any of the women, why? Because that man is another DENTIST. A dentist that went to 8 years of school, these women? All of them did 4 or less years of college, but only 2 of them do a job that requires a college education of any kind. So if you took it at face value, you could see a "wage gap." But like on every occasion, this "gap" doesn't account for the position nor the qualification that goes with it. Just more bullshit from this feminazi movement.
