Evil white male alert!

Here what can be done. All the liberal men in Boston who support equal pay, should take a paycut to be equal to their female counterparts. Everyone wins.

Apparently managers in Boston are REALLY stupid. They could cut their labor costs by 24% simply by firing all their men and replacing them with women.

I wonder why they don’t do that?

Fake statistic.

What is the difference when comparing male/female compensation FOR THE SAME JOB?

How many times does this stupidity need to be debunked. By law men and women have to be paid the same for the same job. If women are paid less it’s because of the work habits of women, not discrimination.

Damn, great to be a business owner in Beantown, then. If I ran a business, I could be offering 0.80 on the dollar, hire only women, and not only pay more than other businesses, but still have lower salary costs than any business employing men.

Oh wait, women are only making less than men because they’re not doing comparable work. Another worthless fake-news article that twists reality to satisfy a Communist narrative.

So whats the big deal? Men work 500% more than women. because there are 5x as many men in the workforce.

How is that "statistic" calculated? Take the total amount earned by women and divide by the number of women, then take the total amount earned by men and divide by the number of men. That way you come up with an "average" figure.

However, that figure does not take into account any real-world factors, such as the nature of the jobs each sex works, the hours they work, their tenure, their training/educational level, or any of a number of other influences.

However, it DOES yield the proper propaganda talking point for phony feminism, and perpetuates a lie that has been disproven for decades now.

On average, women in the Greater Boston area make 70 cents for every dollar a white man makes.

Gotta keep those women voting Democrat!

But Boston is a city Run by Democrats and has been for decades.

Why keep voting Democrat if you want to change things for women.

A woman’s work is never done.
That is why they make less than men

They actually make more once you factor in divorce rape of alimony and child support, ie alimony 2.

The data has to be normalized by so many metrics; race, sex, age, education by degree field, work experience by field, others...

I was an employer for 40 years. If I could somehow pay a woman 25% less than a man I would have hired a herd of them.

Its a ridiculous statistic. I have seen these before. I saw one a few years ago that said male nurses make more than women nurses. They forget to mention that the male nurses on average worked many more hours than women.

divorce rape?

I've seen some nasty divorces, but it's usually the man on the receiving end of the unpleasantness.
