As a man I'm totally offended by the workplace death and dismemberment gap. We need laws to force women into riskier lines of work so we can finally achieve equality in this area.

I drove by a building construction site... all men. I walked by an area where some people were cleaning up and fixing some sewage pipes... lots of challenges that any woman can do better than men. However, all men. Not a woman in sight.

I felt really bad. . And very very sad. Women are so much discriminated against in the workplace. They are deprived of the thrill of breathing fresh air while dangling on a pole atop a 70 floor building. Or the challenge of fighting with roaches, huge rats, snakes, odors, slimy liquids in a sewage pipe. All exciting stiff that a Girl-boss cannot show her true capabilities in.

I demand that DEI bring in at least 40% women to be part of teams that clean sewage and build buildings. That is only the fair thing to do so that women can work and grow their careers, just like men.

Examples:
Privileged men at work. I bet these misogynists asked some poor woman to slave in the kitchen and bring them sammiches while they had fun a mile high.




Another lucky man. Will these atrocities against women ever end?? He gets to play in water and get paid.

Honey this is from the Forbes study in your list. It took me literally 3 minutes to find. If you had bothered to read it you might have avoided some embarrassment here. But since ur so adamant the pay gap exists and I am wrong. And a mindless puppet, I will give u a direct quote.


Ur Forbes link

https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/gender-pay-gap-statistics/


The controlled gender pay gap, which considers factors such as job title, experience, education, industry, job level and hours worked, is currently at 99 cents for every dollar men earn


A direct quote from your article.

When you control for all other factors there is at WORST a 1 cent gender pay gap.

That is from the first article I looked at in the list that YOU provided to prove UR point. Oops.

You accidentally proved me right.

I am confident it is a myth because the statistics support it.

I am not a mindless puppet. I can read a study and understand it.

Unlike some people. I ONLY went there because u
Insulted me first.


If I had a female lawyer who inadvertently proved my opponent's case, I'd fire her ***** ass and get a male lawyer that knows what he's doing

Unfortunately many modern western women have been told their entire lives that they are better than everyone else just by virtue of being women. The result is that when these women become adults they think you are a hateful misogynist if u don't entertain and validate their every delusion.

The only men that are willing to put up with it long term are the very men they despise- men with zero backbone and those that can't do any better because they are fat, bald, broke, and live in their parents' basement.

It's a very sad thing all around, especially for the women who fall into this trap.

This is so true. But it's not just western women, though it is likely to have started with them. It is now seen in many parts of Asia which get their cues from western feminists.

I have a teen daughter and this is a good time to educate her on this. She is not special in any way just because she is a female (though she is special to us, her parents, but that is a different topic). She is not special to the world. She needs to be humble and work hard to make a place for herself and not expect the world to open doors or usher her to a "seat at the table" like what many adult women expect.

Linkedin is a toxic cesspool of such disgruntled women. I can post instances if people don't believe me. They demand board positions and C level positions simply for being women. Argument is "do you mean that women cannot do that job? Or my favorite "Studies have shown that women-led companies make more money to shareholders than men-led companies". The there are a few simps on there who cheer these ladies on and get some crumbs thrown at them. Click on their profile and they have a lot of "I am a feminist" type verbiage. Why can't they start their own companies and become the CEO and hire only women? It's that simple in this free country.

They still get paid almost 20% less than men for the same job.

How is them whining about being legitimately paid less than men worse than your constant whining about people complaining. At least they have something legit.


Not when you equalize for experience, hours, and years worked.

The gap is reduced to 95 cents on the dollar AT WORST when all those things are equilized.

You can't take 5 years off to raise kids, demand to work 5-10 hours less a week than your male counterparts and demand the same promotional opportunities, pay, and expect to be in the same professional place as your male counterparts.


No it isn't. This is more propaganda from your puppet masters. The gender pay gap hasn't changed hardly at all in the last 20 years. Women in the same job make 20% less.

Of course I am sure your next post will be about how this is all a government conspiracy because again, your puppet master tells you that

You know, this idea of a pay gap is so ingrained, that when there is any discussion about the validity of it, women fall right into "god you hate women" mode.

Men debate with facts, women with emotions. Children debate with emotions, too.

Feminists: Yo go girl!!

The cashmeousside girl is pretty messed up though. At 14 she looked like she was 24. Probably on growth hormones or had augmentation surgery done.

Her earnings. Eye popping.

One of the early lessons I had as a married man was not to take the wife tooo seriously when it came to big family decisions. Like money matters or where we move to or about a house to buy. Keep it simple. Women cannot deal with situations where they might be blamed if things go wrong. They are there to take credit when things go right.

Women love to proclaim:
Quote:

Behind every successful man, there is a woman.
But what about behind every bum, or a serial killer or a rapist? Silence. No woman will shoulder the blame there.


So I take all the decisions as logically as I can with the information available and then present it to the wife who adds a few touches, so she feels she is part of it. Everyone happy. I am okay to be blamed if things go wrong but usually they go right as I spend a lot of time thinking through possibilities.

If I ask her to deal with an entire issue, and come up with a recommendation on what we do, it never works out well. That is when I realized why. Women want to be seen as good and nice. Things going wrong takes them away from being seen as nice. On that front, women are no different from children.

Victimhood is the coin of the realm, unfortunately.

Something to consider for pay gaps that do exist (they don't in aggregate): you are paid what you agree to work for. It's likely people who test high in agreeablness and avoiding conflict make less. Women in general are far more agreeable and less willing to upset people than men. Men who test high in these categories will also likely make less than men who are more assertive and willing to create conflict. Believe it or not, in general, men and women are very different. Everyone is paid what they agree to work for.

No one owes it to you to pay you the compensation that someone else negotiated.

My wife has changed jobs many times over the past 10 years and EVERY TIME I have to force and badger her to negotiate and ask for more. She would resist each time saying she may lose the offer. I would tell her that they gave her the offer, they will not take it away if she asked for something reasonable. The most is they will say no. Take it or leave it. She reluctantly would ask for more and usually get at least 75% of the increased amount. Every time she got something.

But does she thank me for it? No. Women never do.

I bet this happens everywhere. Women hate negotiating. I asked a few other women I know and they say the same - they would rather NOT negotiate and ask for more. So they don't get it. And then they beach about it.

When my wife took here current job I went through this with her. She asked for more, but wouldn't go all in and ask what I told her. She got her ask and immediately realized they probably would have given her what I told her to go for.

Not rue. At least in the case of my wife. She almost always gets the deal she is shooting for. I have her negotiate for new cars. I hate doing it and will end up getting pissed. The salesman always wants to talk to me but I just tell them they are dealing with her and I don't envy their outcome.

I'll start standing up advocating for women as soon as they stand up and start advocating for men in child custody cases and demand change for antiquated laws. Even the best men get completely screwed over when it comes to their kids and it's wrong. It's been wrong for a long time.

There are a lot of things that are broken, ESPECIALLY in the justice system. I don't know why standing up for women, in general, and men - specifically in child custody cases - are not both possible at the same time.

Gender Pay Gap in US Narrowed to Smallest on Record Last Year

Quote:

By Alexandre Tanzi
January 18, 2024 at 12:23 PM CST

The earnings gap between American women and men narrowed to the smallest on record in 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.
Median weekly earnings for women were $1,031 last year, or 83.8% of the typical amount that men were paid, according to the BLS data.
Quote:

The gender pay gap varied widely by race and ethnicity. Black women earned close to 94% of Black men's pay, while the equivalent figure for White women and men was 84.1%, and for Asian women and men 78.3%.
Overall, median weekly earnings among the nation's 121.3 million full-time wage and salary workers were $1,142 last quarter an increase of 5.4% from a year earlier without adjustment for inflation.
Full-time workers age 25 and over without a high-school diploma had median weekly earnings of $713, compared with $917 for high-school graduates and $1,608 for those holding at least a bachelor's degree, according to the BLS. Among college graduates with advanced degrees , the highest-earning 10% of male workers made at least $4,623 per week, compared with $3,443 for women in the equivalent group.





How can something that never existed reduce to the smallest ever?
