These studies have been debunked countless times. When all is equal (hours worked, degree, and experience), women get paid pretty much the same amount as men.

- seany 11y agoWas about to post that exact same link.
- rustynails 11y agoI'm sure many people were. I've come across many articles that contradict this article. Here are just a few. Mind you, the findings are mixed (but many articles agree that women under 30 are earning more if they aren't written by a feminist). http://content.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,2015274,00.html http://content.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,2015274... http://www.payscale.com/gender-lifetime-earnings-gap http://www.payscale.com/gender-lifetime-earnings-gap http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/12/pf/gender-pay-gap/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/12/pf/gender-pay-gap/index.html http://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/aug/29/women-in-20s-earn-more-men-same-age-study-finds http://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/aug/29/women-in-20s-ea... I've talked a number of times about the feminising of education and how it disadvantages boys detrimentally. I even saw it in action at some open days at schools where presenters talked as if boys didn't exist. I'm not surprised that this war against boys is having a huge impact in the workforce and disenfranchising a generation of young men.. For what? Political Correctness. I'm honestly tired of hearing this 20% wage gap figure with no evidence. I'm tired of domestic violence being a man thing (despite the US and Australia both reflecting a 20-25% incidents of mothers being the perpetrators). I was infuriated when my open visit to schools made it clear they openly bias education and especially sciences towards girls. WTF is wrong with today's society? Are people this prejudiced and proud of it? Until people take a hard stand against feminism, propaganda pieces like this article (from a website educated to sexism) will drive education and law makers to actively discriminate based on gender. It's no accident one on my kids got asked to write an essay again on "can a girl do anything a boy can?" While he's never been asked the reverse.
- pink_dinner 11y agoIt's also pretty apparent, when you look at female dominated industries, that discrimination based on gender is an accepted practice. Even our divorce laws were 100% in women's favor until the 70s or 80s. Alimony was paid out for life. I want true equality for everyone, but instead we have special interest groups that want to dominate and create lopsided laws on their favor.
- cassieramen 11y agoAnother article by the wsj saying the opposite. http://www.wsj.com/articles/gender-pay-gap-widens-1445389259 http://www.wsj.com/articles/gender-pay-gap-widens-1445389259
- pink_dinner 11y agoI posted the article as an example, but there are many other studies on it coming to the same conclusion.
