I’m mocking how the people who think these things clearly don’t think because they can’t see the giant gaping holes in their reasoning when their logic is carried through to its conclusion.
But you can do that with anything if you pretend to misunderstand it. "Oh the air is full of oxygen? Why isn't everything on fire all the time?" The pay gap is a well-documented phenomenon, you can't just say it's not true because it doesn't line up with what you think.
the pay gap is definitely real and well documented as real, all u have to do is look at census data or federal bureau of labor statistics data and u will see the 15% mean/median pay gap
or societal and cultural reasons, not personal choices, there is no big bad boss but there is a culture around men and women and the workplace that creates this
so ur just ignoring the cultural gaps that exist, obviously there is no huge thing that means employers can just pay less but overall due to cultural and societal factors women end up on average making 15% less than male counterparts
No, I’m not you’re ignoring what I’m saying and pretending it is cultural factors it’s not
it’s personal decisions men go for more dangerous jobs that have a naturally higher pay women do not
men go for longer hours and overtime. Women do not
men do not take paternity leave women do.
Those are the factors and none of them are the boss deciding to pay a woman less because there are laws against that and when you actually go and compare a man and a woman doing the same job as each other, they make the same pay EXCEPT For entertainment the pay in entertainment is always based on what kind of crowd you bring
Look i don’t think we’re getting anywhere so I’m just going to show you an example and you can argue with that if you want to try, but I think it’s gonna be a lot harder for you to argue with Heres a side by side of the same job first The women.
Now consider that a job like this you get paid by the job we are working for a homeowner who is going to give you a chunk of money at the end or make payments to you for the next several years whatever the point is lump sum at the end to be divvied up probably $30-50k before tax/materials/overhead
so these two men are splitting the entire paycheck between them over a shorter period. Versus five or six women splitting that same check and because it took them longer to do it they’re going to have more costs on their end more rent more food more everything.
And that’s the pay gap it doesn’t exist beyond personal choices and therefore it’s not something that needs to be in any kind of law. We already have anti-discrimination in the labor force laws that’s all that we need you want the same money? do the same work.
It’s called meritocracy and it’s wonderful.
