I'll run that question by my wife, sometimes she can look at things rationally and logically. More likely to get 20 fucken whacks though.

Yeah, it's not as clear cut as 'men get paid more than women' IMO. I can't get on board with there being a clear gender pay gap when it comes to same job, same output. There may still be a case for some women being discriminated against for certain roles, maybe. If anything it's probably skewed further the other way with DEI hires.

Like all things we dress up the true data in pleasantries. Men work longer hours, more difficult jobs, take less leave, do more overtime and unpaid career hours and stay with an employer longer. No surprise there.

But the kicker is the reason is all one in the same. Women have children and raise families. Which is fucking amazing and yet somehow demonised

You're not suggesting we put a capital value on that work and pay them are you

We already do in kind. Hence men doing menial labor since the dawn of time.

Not sure what that means, capitalism doesn't recognise being paid in kind, it's not the dawn of time anymore, ask @John Nick, he was there

WTF are you blathering about? Bartering exists alongside capitalism. Pooling resources and specializing your labor force is also recommended capitalism.

Woman are coming out of university in greater numbers than men.

What goes wrong?

Or perhaps in the not to distant future, woman will be the higher earning sex and we will have to start demanding equity?

I'm not entirely sure. Alright then I concede my case. Damn you Atlas, you win again, for now...

Wow that wouldn't happen to coincide with the massive amount of dogshit degrees unis offer would it? Surely we'd see that reflected in things like STEM right?

 

[Tragic]

Supply and demand isn’t it?

Why should a bank CEO earn more than me running my small business?

It isn’t really fair is it? I want my pay equity and I want it now!

Only girls can be bank CEOs. Do you have a mangina?

That's not very inclusive, what if he has a bussy?
