Most meritocratic doesn't mean its very meritocratic, its really been 50-70 years since females got the vote, if we were so meritocratic maybe females would be getting equal pay by now. Just because you're a goose among chicken doesn't mean you're perfect.
And for those complaining that its not real that women are being paid less in similar positions and its situational, if there wasn't data then nobody would be complaining. Things only start because theres a reason or agenda for starting.
- eanzenberg 9y agoWomen are getting equal pay when normalized to experience. I think it's within 2-5%. Or do you expect equal pay for same amount of time worked?
- forkLding 9y agoHeres my sources: https://nwlc.org/resources/faq-about-the-wage-gap/ https://nwlc.org/resources/faq-about-the-wage-gap/ Meritocracy would mean disregarding skin colour, background and gender in my book. I would like your sources and stats
- eanzenberg 9y agoYour analysis and link proves my point. When accounting for job title there is virtually no pay gap. You cannot compare just the salaries when many women choose to stay home and enter the workforce years later. That makes no sense.
- forkLding 9y agoThis is a prolonged internet argument, which is really just wasted time, I need your figures, using my data is just lazy without pinpointing where the "accounting for job title there is virtually no pay gap" comes from. Lets use Wall Street Journal data then, they're a reputable source no? This one examines using specific job titles: http://graphics.wsj.com/gender-pay-gap/ http://graphics.wsj.com/gender-pay-gap/ And give me actual links and sources or else your argument is invalid without evidence, if you don't have any data or evidence backing me up, I can move on and ignore you as a troll without data.
