The entire pay gap concept has been bogus from the beginning.

If two job seekers come through the door, and I think I can get away with paying one of them half as much as the other, I will hire the cheap one. What that would mean is that the woman just got hired for a low-paying job, and the man is unemployed (because he “costs too much”). And, clearly, that is not the real life situation.

Women earn less for a wide variety of reasons, but sexist pigs in the patriarchy who want to oppress women are not the reason women earn less. Women make their own decisions, and these decisions result in women earning less. Just a fact.

Exactly. Jordan Peterson has made a career out of debunking bullsh!t like “gender inequality.”

Repeated studies have shown the pay gap to be no more than 3-5%. The 70 vs 100 crappola is just that.

Women take lower risk jobs — so they take less pay home. Women work shorter hours — ibid.

The gap is because of choices they take, rational choices. Pay scale, $/time unit, are rigidly controlled.
