Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir has said that she will join tens of thousands of women walking off the job on Tuesday to protest the widely disputed gender wage gap.
For the seventh time in the history of the country, female Icelanders will take part in the “Kvennafri,” translated into English as “Women’s Day Off”. The strike is intended to protest the supposed inequality faced by women in one of the most egalitarian societies in the world, as well as to protest against the supposed wage gap between men and women.
Joining the tens of thousands of women, Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir of the Left-Green Movement party said that she too would take the day off on Tuesday.

In this study, where jobs, pay and promotions are gender neutral, on average women have lower take home pay because women are more likely to take more time of and work less overtime. This is only one study. It is of interest since it shows the issues are more complex than activist slogans and news headlines make it appear.Abstract Female workers earn $0.89 for each male-worker dollar even in a unionized work place where tasks, wages, and promotion schedules are identical for men and women by design. We use administrative time card data on bus and train operators to show that the earnings gap can be explained by female operators taking, on average, 1.5 fewer hours of overtime and 1.3 more hours of unpaid time-off per week than male operators.Female operators, especiallythosewhohavedependents,pursuescheduleconventionality,predictability,and controllabilitymorethanmaleoperators.Analyzingtwopolicychanges,we demonstrate that while reducing schedule controllability can reduce the earnings gap, it can also make workers—particularly female workers—worse off.
Seems to me that they demand to be paid for what men do; but are not willing to do what men do, to earn that pay. I am seeing that in a lot of young applicants, they want the Senior Engineer salary, but have neither the skills, nor the experience to justify their demand.
Not to worry ladies. With all the muslims you’re importing you won’t have to work. You won’t even be allowed to leave the house.
Well, I guess that ended well. Did they lock the door behind her?
. . . for about a week.
I don't have to tell you why.
LOL, she's the leader of the country, correct it. Or is she admitting to being helpless? Idiocy
Outside of the hotel and stinkly fish processing, what jobs does Iceland have?
There is no gender wage gap. The ones that take years off for having a kid and three days a week off for “mommy duties” think their career earnings should be the same as a guy who showed up to work every day the whole time. They get paid the same for the same work. What they really want is to be paid twice as much as a man so they can work half the time.
One could argue, quite successfully, that Oprah is a full-on demonstration of the fact that women have no wage gap.
Consider, Oprah is a black woman, allegedly the most oppressed group to walk the face of the earth. She formed her own production group (Oprah Productions) and did a series of made for TV programs, her own Talk show, then her own Network OWN, success as an actress, an author and even a Book Club.
She sacrificed being a wife and mother; she threw her life into her career, and was wildly successful. She made a choice. Nobody stopped her, there was no glass ceiling.
Funny, no one wants to talk about Oprah - because she shatters the narrative. You make choices, you make sacrifices - you don’t get to have everything. Doesn’t matte whether you are a man, or a woman; you make choices.
They paid them about $10M to bury it and other companies quickly took a look at their own books.
We (men) can criticize all we want, but I would love to see the day when men take all of that money they have for prostitutes and strip bars, and spend it fighting against the bias and outright abuse their sons face in school.
