Also perhaps because pay gaps tend to be much more subtle and propagate themselves through similarly subtle mechanisms s opposed to, "we pay men more than women!" policies. Doesn't make them less real or deleterious, but does make them harder to get rid of.
- mistermann 9y agoDoes it make them harder to detect?
- InitialLastName 9y agoYes. See the arguments above and surrounding this discussion about things like "how big is the pay gap, actually" and "what metric do we even use to define the pay gap".
- mistermann 9y agoThere are two distinct opinions on this "fact" of unequal pay, I was curious to know if a person who noted subtlety in discrimination also had difficulty identifying cases of it - in my experience, typically there's no difficulty whatsoever in them seeing it, only in them being able to get others to see what they see so clearly. A wise person would just stay out of these discussions. ;)
