But we should see something, somewhere…!
There must be at least one example of an all female company you can point to with clear advantage over mixed-gender competition if the pay gap is at all real, and certainly if it’s over 30% as claimed by, among others, president Obama.
Either the pay gap is too small to matter, or it simply does not exist. So far all evidence favors the latter.
This shouldn’t be surprising—after all wage discrimination has been illegal in United States for over 40 years.
The claim that there’s some widespread corruption, perhaps even a conspiracy, should be treated as any other extraordinary claim. With extraordinary skepticism.
- soneca 9y agoIt might be a pay gap too small to matter to the bottomline, but large enough to matter to women earning less. I do not have an opinion If there is or there is not a pay gap (I do have the opinion that sexism is a real problem at workplaces regardless of the pay gap). But I dont think the argument "if there was, someone would benefit from it" is reasonable.
