@Captain Anderson, so my crazy liberal cousin went off about this topic, and I fired back at her about how it is illegal to pay 2 equally qualified people less because of gender and race. She said "then the fact that this is my life, and there are men at my job making more even though they haven't worked as long is fake". I told her that if those men had the same degree, amount of experience, and job title as her, then yes it was illegal and she needed to report that to her boss and threaten a lawsuit. Surprisingly enough she never said anything else since she never went to college and barely even graduated from high school.

@Captain Anderson, it’s all because they lump all wages from all professions into an average for each gender. It doesn’t take a genius to know that you can’t make a valid comparison between the wages of an engineer and a public school teacher. Additionally, if I’m remembering this correctly, stats have shown gender differences in college degrees with male majorities (not because of sexism) in 4 of the top 5 high-wage degrees. Women were the majority in some of the low-wage degrees (social work, useless degree A, etc). To top it off, women, on average, work don’t work as many hours as the average man in the same job and position. Essentially, the “wage gap”is an agenda-driven pile of bs. (To prevent immediate dismissal, I am a biological woman, one that is insulted by sex-based preferential treatment.) Ok, rant over.

@Captain Anderson, it’s not unexplained. On average, women work less hours, take more vacations, and do not negotiate as much for higher salaries. The wage gap denies any personal responsibility for women to do the work to get paid the same. It also denies that in a number of areas women are already being paid more.

@Captain Anderson, did it account for total hours worked? I ask this because, on average, men work/are more willing to work long hours, odd hours, and/or frequent overtime. In comparisons between two in the exact same job and position, men often work longer/more overtime than women. If it’s not attributed to hours, then diligent research must be done for those cases. You could easily overlook the minutia of company pay structure, or one of them does more than their job title. If there’s actual sex discrimination, it should be properly investigated before conclusions are made. But honestly, there are so many more important women’s issues that feminists ignore; like child brides and honor killings.

"We're so progressive and woke, that we automatically assume all stick figures are men, and to be a female it has to wear a skirt, thus reinforcing gender stereotypes that we also keep whining about. Look at us making the world a better place and definitely not just being a pain in everyone's ass and making things worse"
Sure, just take engineering as a major instead of gender studies.
