Because women's lives revolve around maximizing their value to husbands.
Yup, sounds completely reasonable.
Hey, how come so many more women become doctors now? High stress job, takes a long time, I don't think it's any more "attractive" then being a nurse.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that this line of thinking is sexist. I'm not trying to attack you I just think it needs to be said because I think it's actively harmful. It ignores any other reasons behind the gap, and it's a terrible line of thinking for anyone who manages women. "I don't know if I should give her this role, women aren't really suited for leadership".

- alvah 9y agoParent is merely saying women tend to be hypergamous (look it up). This used to be uncontroversial.
- lurr 9y ago> This used to be uncontroversial Lots of things used to be uncontroversial. Get with the times.
- hi-im-mi-ih 9y agoDo you have an argument against women being hypergamous, or are you just going to be derisive in every comment?
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- alvah 9y agoAre you saying women no longer tend to be hypergamous? That seems a bit of a stretch, to put it mildly.
- noir_lord 9y agoNo idea but saying "women are <foo>" is dangerous when women as a group are ~3.5bn people. Without some kind of qualifier it's a shade pointless.
- alvah 9y agoI used "tend to be" rather than "are". Obviously not all women are like that. There is, however, a large volume of research indicating hypergamous tendencies in women. As I mentioned above, this used to be uncontroversial, but now seems subject to revision, without any facts being presented to support the revision.
- hi-im-mi-ih 9y agoSo you conclude that I have a sexist line of thinking because I dispute that the reason for the pay gap is men's sexism?
