Feminists, do you have a study of the wage gap that does NOT say that it's because of different choices? If not, what do you have....?

Question

...against women making their own choices? If you DO have such a study, where is it?

Answer 1

"Feminists, do you have a study of the wage gap that does NOT say that it's because of different choices? If not, what do you have....?"



Every single study that any feminists ever produces does NOT reference the same job at the same company. And really, that is the only concern we need to have. Do we really care about the ratio that tells us what all women earn compared with all men? It's meaningless.



Even when feminists try really hard to pretend it's the same type of work (NOTE: not same JOB, but same TYPE of work; it's relatively meaningless. Because for example .. if we have two salespeople at two different car dealerships that we are studying and one makes $8/hr while another makes $15/hr plus commissions, we might wonder what is going on. But if we are told that one works at a Budget rental used car lot while the other words at the Ferrari showroom, then we can easily understand the gap.



It's the same thing for doctors, which is often provided as "feminist proof". But once again, there are myriad specialities for doctors. A "doctor" is not a specific job .. and we fully expect that speciality surgeons would earn more money over a general practitioner. Guess which gender is overwhelmingly represented as general practitioners? You guessed it .... women.



It is illegal to pay different wages due to gender, when performing the same job at the same company. In a logical persons mind, this is the end of the gender wage gap nonsense. The fact that feminists will not let this go, well over 50 years after the passing of the Equal Pay Act is testament to the success of this deceptive message. Although, it's mileage has seemed to run out over the last few years, and more people are beginning to call out this deception ... to the loss of feminist credibility.

Answer 2

The first 3 or 4 of these many 'studies' demand membership or 36-40 bucks. I'm not about to check every single one to see if they're pay sites. Other than that, I have an abstract. These could be legitimate studies OR they could simply be lots of feminists lying their asses off. With the government giving 400 grand for feminists to study glaciers and with psychology being a soft science at best, I'm not going to just go "Oh, that proves it!" and I'm not about to spend 36 bucks to check your claim of proof.



So then I just have this article CLAIMING that the studies were done, that they were done correctly, that they were peer reviewed, that they showed X, Y and Z. But I don't know that this is true b/c, for one thing, I'm not about to fork over membership dues or probably close to a thousand dollars to look at all these studies.



Now, you may be impressed by how 'academic' and 'scientific' it all looks. I'm not.

Answer 3

Usually feminists just talk about "the wage gap" or "pay equity" with no acknowledgement of ANY relevant factors.

Answer 4

No. You also won't hear anything from them well that's reasonable anyway if they do say something.

Here is one:

Another:



But as the scenario above shows, even when women and men are in practically identical situations, their earnings start to diverge just one year out of school. That’s true across most sectors of the economy. One year out of college, female teachers earn 89 percent of what male teachers earn. In sales jobs, women earn 77 percent of what male peers earn. Women who major in business earn, on average, just over $38,000 the first year after graduation, while men earn just over $45,000. “About one-third of the gap cannot be explained by any of the factors commonly understood to impact earnings,” write the AAUW researchers, Catherine Hill and Christianne Corbett.

Finally, until the point where men and women are offered identical paid paternity/maternity leave, you cannot realistically say that taking a financial hit in order to have a baby is a perfectly free choice women make, as often financial constraints mean it is the only sensible option for a couple.
