I dunno. Why is it taken for granted that women always earn less than men?
I haven’t contributed to the Church in years (no reason for me to go deeper into debt so they can re-distribute my hard-earned money), but if I did it would stop with this nonsense. I’ve been fortunate that token females have been promoted (seemingly to fend off lawsuits) at my job, and now us guys have reduced our hours to “work like the ladies”. Our male bosses can’t do anything about it; we have some goofy “gender equity” policy that they thought would benefit women but has really benefited us men. I earn more now than I ever did before (not a whole lot of money, but I can pay my bills and apply some to debt), and I have never worked less hours than in the last couple of years (the 50-60 hours of work per week have been reduced to the bare minimum). If this keeps up I’ll be set like a public school teacher soon...
Women don’t work as much overtime, avoid the dangerous jobs in construction that pay more, work more in the indoors and service professions that give flexible hours or part time jobs and thus more demand by employees and lower pay.
