I suppose you can start here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0095399716636928 Then, you can read all the papers they cite. Then you can go through Google Scholar to see everything that has been peer reviewed and published. I think you'll be astonished that despite working for 30 years, it does not make you an expert (or even informed) on the gender pay gap that exists. Wanna-B-Fanboy 1
Brandon Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 The pay gap doesn't exist... every paper I read has said that men gravitate towards jobs that pay more, while ladies tend to gravitate to jobs that don't pay as much. Human nature that men are more into the math and science while the ladies are more into administrative and health care jobs. It's human nature that women are more likely wanting to take maternity leave then the father , this is a massive factor when they claim "pay gap differentials". You can't say that scientifically Men and Women are build the same, so of course the end results of who makes more won't be equal 50/50. I myself have never seen two people doing the exact same job where one gender was paid more then another. I'd love to see real world examples of someone working at Wal-Mart making 15 dollars because they were a male , meanwhile a female was given only 10 dollars in pay because she was a female. Nobody ever gives these kinds of examples because in North America this does not exist at all. The old their is 85% of CEO's being male bla bla bla... I don't buy any of that crap. As I said before private enterprise companies will hire whoever can make them the most money. More men are qualified for upper level management because scientifically men are build to be better leaders. I definitely can agree with Kelowna because I've never worked anywhere or seen anywhere where a man was paid more because of his gender. Studies are bull **** and you can find a study backing anything you want. kelownabomberfan 1

That I would be interested in. I agree. It seems to me that those who want to push this pay gap concept are doing so purely for political purposes. If you watch the first video that I posted that was one of the points of the feminist author. There seems to be an entire industry built around perpetuating this victimhood mentality, and those pre-disposed to believe it exists because it conforms with their biases will continue to believe it, no matter what.

So not really an issue at all.

Sounds more like people with closed minds who are trying to rationalize away any challenges to established and probably incorrectly held "beliefs" that society has been force-fed and told to be true, and then reinforced with immediate insults if challenged, in this case "misogynist" is always the "go to" should established norms be questioned. I am glad so far this thread hasn't devolved into that. Though it would be nice if someone could explain what Bilderburg is. Edited January 26, 2019 by kelownabomberfan

In Scandinavian societies where they have bent over backwards to be as equal as possible, more women gravitate to health care and lower paying jobs with more time off. You can't fight human nature.

As Pinker has found, women prefer “meaningful and connected jobs,” as well as working part time. Men are more likely to take harsh full-time jobs to earn more money and provide for their children and spouse. Edited January 28, 2019 by kelownabomberfan

I do regret posting the Mark Dice video (can't remember why I did) in this thread as I should have known that it would trigger the usual suspects, and worse, provide a perfect excuse to derail this thread. I've noticed that this topic makes some people uncomfortable, mostly because it questions a basic (and so far unproven) societal "truth", that turns out to be not true at all. And that's healthy I think, to question ideas and accepted "truths". We all live in bubbles of our own creation. So we surround ourselves with people who think like us. It would be exhausting otherwise. In your bubble of friends, you probably are told that "throat punches" against those who have different views are a good idea. I don't think so. So I will continue to post videos that offend you, and you can continue to propose violence and death as solutions and offend me. As Jordan Peterson says (oh no another trigger warning) "in order to think you must be offensive" or something to that effect. Now back to the topic: Gender pay gap - does it exist? I say no.

pigseye Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 I agree with wiki Quote The gender pay gap in the United States is the ratio of female-to-male median or average (depending on the source) yearly earnings among full-time, year-round workers. The average woman's unadjusted annual salary has been cited as 78%[2] to 82%[3] of that of the average man's. However, after adjusting for choices made by male and female workers in college major, occupation, working hours, and parental leave, multiple studies find that pay rates between males and females varied by 5–6.6% or, females earning 94 cents to every dollar earned by their male counterparts. The remaining 6% of the gap has been speculated to originate from gender discrimination and a difference in ability and/or willingness to negotiate salaries.[4][5][6] Brandon and kelownabomberfan 2

So, what I post is an accurate reflection of me as long as you take it in jest. Oh ok. So when you propose violence it should be "all in good fun", yet if I post a video the views of the person in the video reflect my entire character and who I am. Good grief that's so ridiculous I don't know where to start. Quote You however claim to try and bridge the divide and such stuff yet post inflammatory rhetoric filled videos which undermines your sincerity at wanting civil discourse and namby-pamby hugging it out. That video shouldn't have been posted. My bad. Still think that no one wins when "throat punching" is presented as the main response. There should be a middle ground. Quote I don't buy it- your not a ******* moron, you are pretty bright. Also, it doesn't question societal truths I didn't say that Mark Dice video questioned a societal truth. I said that this thread does that. The one questioning the existence of a gender pay gap. You are bright enough to have understood that. Quote Gender pay gap - does it exist? I say yes. Change your mind? Ain't gonna happen- when have you ever been swayed to a leftist position? I don't understand how this is a "leftist position". To me it's a simple "yes" or "no". Politics be darned. But at least you admit that it's a leftist position, and not a reality. I agree, this entire "gap" was invented by leftists, to make women feel like victims. Erroneously. Its vote-grabbing under completely false pretenses. It's part of the bigger definition of "social justice": the stubborn application of unworkable solutions to imaginary problems". As you have just stated, this is just a "leftist position", and a completely imaginary problem. Unlike the gender age gap, where women live 4 years longer than men. THAT is real. Why don't leftists have a position on that? Because men make bad victims? Quote Only you can change your mind if you are open to it- you have the tools for it, if you really want to educate yourself on the topic, you can. And as sanctimonious as this statement is, all I can say is, same right back at you. Open your mind and start to question some of the lies you have swallowed wholesale. They will only just continue to control you and your entire life views if you don't. You can do it, you have the tools. Edited January 29, 2019 by kelownabomberfan
