      It’s not just that. If they are working the same job, you have to see if they are also working the same amount days of the week? Are they working same amount hours a day?
      Are they getting the same amount of work done each day compared to others?
      How many days off have they taken off?
      How many years have they been working in that job compared to the others? They could have been working in that job longer then you have.
      Obviously you are not going to make same amount of money for the same job as someone who has been working there for 10 years when you only worked there for 2 years.

      Yup. In addition to working lower paying jobs , women tend to work less on jobs that they share with their male counterparts which leads to more money for men, greater output and better opportunity for advancement due to a perceived greater commitment to the job and career. This wage gap is a myth. Same way WNBA players want to make as much as NBA players when nobody watches (even women) they have lost money almost every year in existence. If the roles were reversed and the WNBA was subsidizing the nba, they would have shut down the nba 20 years ago

      Exactly. Men acc need to form some sort of group like feminism too counter this radical ideology of entitlement to more money because there a women. Funny because the inequality they talk about is actually happening to men. For women to be paid the same as men then companies would have to oppress mens wages too make woman’s higher. It’s certainly not coming out the bosses pockets is it?

      Gay men. Because they're just as visual as straight men, they're just looking at something else. But there are a lot fewer gay men than straight men, thus the demand for "naked women" is much higher.
      But that's the point. These wage gaps aren't due to discrimination. They're due to choices and supply/demand and differences in interests between men and women.

    Also motherhood and maternity leave factor in, after maternity leave they’re likely to take less working hours. When we look at temperament, woman tend to be more agreeable and by average agreeable people tend to earn less then it’s counterpart. Men also tend to choose to go into fields that pay more.

    This is a good point when analyzing data, however, you can’t say it’s fact that men and women’s choices are completely different to the point it affects it, that there even is a much different choice path between the two genders, and that there is no descrimination. The opposite can be said for the other side. It’s all speculation and putting all your eggs in a basket due to one interpretation of a data point could be dangerous.

    • @turinturambar347
      @turinturambar347 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually the data proves that it's due to different choices between the genders and not discriminatory hiring/pay practices.
      What the data doesn't cover is the different social pressures men and women face. Women might face the pressure to be a supermom, so when she becomes a mother maybe she cuts back her hours or she drops her career altogether to focus on motherhood, instead of simply bringing her kid to daycare. Of course that might also be biological. Perhaps women do have a more maternal instinct that drives them to focusing on family/kids. On the flipside, men are judged on their earning potential and ambition. Women prefer men who make decent to good money and who exhibit ambition within their careers. So there's a lot of men who are putting priority on earning potential and future promotion prospects within a company when they make career decisions, because that is how society AND WOMEN judge them.
      I'll put it this way. I work for a financial firm. When I started, there were 31 men and 29 women in our group. A pretty even split. It was a pretty typical corporate financial position. You're salaried at 40 hrs, but you're probably putting 45-50 hours in most weeks with the occasional slow weeks and some really busy weeks. But then we bought another company and had to bring all of their financial data over, and at the same time we switched up accounting systems and had to flip ALL of our data over. For two years when we were converting data, we were regularly working 60+ hour weeks. We were working early and staying late. By the time we finished it all up and went back to a normal work routine, we had 53 men and 12 women working in the same department. The women were quitting. They couldn't handle the long work hours and the sacrifices(mostly to social life) that came with. It wasn't because they were mothers either, because only two of the women were moms, and one of those two was still with us at the end. They just couldn't handle the workload and loss of social life and didn't think it was worth it, even with increased pay and likelihood for promotion at the end of it all. Look, none of us guys liked it either, but we knew that getting all of that extra pay, those bonuses, and sticking with it to become more senior in the company and earn a future promotion was worth it. But of course us men had that pressure on us to be providers and so we were more ready to make the sacrifices to our free time for the payout and future standing with the company.

    This is a straight up irresponsible video to turn into a short. There's a MYRIAD of reasons why women make less than men on average, and to simply boil it down to "well they just don't invest in their future and skill lmao" is embarrassingly lazy.
    To end the video there is to leave the viewer with the impression that women are just dumb or something? Like "haha just work/go to school more 4head, there couldn't be systemic pressures that push women out of things like STEM, or aggressive salary negotiation, surely not."
    Like... this video is akin to people that say black folks are thugs because they commit more crimes than white folks, then give you the reason of "oh well its because of fatherless households." The impression they leave you with is that black people are just worse because they lack family values - they don't even THINK to ask WHY that's the case. Surely there's not any legal and generational reasons, surely not.
    Do better.

      How is it stupid? He's just explaining why the wage gap exists and that it isn't due to discriminatory hiring/pay systems. It's due to the different choices men and women make.
      Even most professional feminists will admit this if you press them. They understand that women aren't actually getting paid less for the same exact work.
