I was talking about the specifics of a single study on comparing the tech industry with other industries on the wage gap (and I guess more broadly at the fact that people misuse these studies). You are broadening the conversation to look at sexism in broader society. Let's stick to the specifics here. > making it all about you and your (higher than any other sociological or scientific field) standards for allowing discussion. Nonsense. Most rigorous wage gap studies control for a lot more than the GlassDoor study. The particular data (working hours) that I'm saying should have been included is straightforward to measure and collect. > You're so angry you're willing to argue that maybe pay shouldn't be equal after all. A swing and a miss. It's like you aren't even trying to read what I'm writing.

> You are broadening the conversation to look at sexism in broader society. No. No. No sheepmullet. You've been broadening the scope from unrelated articles to Japanese work culture whenever it suits you. It's too late for you to go, "HEY I WAS RIGHT IN THIS LIMITED CONTEXT." Unbelievable. > Nonsense. Most rigorous wage gap studies control for a lot more than the GlassDoor study. Yes, because the include many more hourly, tipped and commission-based jobs. The Glassdoor dataset has almost none of those. > The particular data (working hours) that I'm saying should have been included is straightforward to measure and collect. Salaried jobs don't collect the data, and that's the majority of Glassdoor's data. > A swing and a miss. It's like you aren't even trying to read what I'm writing. Given your prior attestation you are not broadening scope despite mentioning Japan's dangerously broken work culture as a pole star, I'm wondering if YOU are reading what you're writing. And given the moderation, you're not doing such a swell job convincing people here.
