Is it possible that the heigh wage gap exists due to larger people requiring more resources to exist? It costs extra money for a tall person to get the required calories. It costs extra money for tall people to be comfortable on airlines.
I'm not saying this to be true, but it's a fact that larger people require more resources, especially in a globalizing environment where resources are created for the average human and outliers are having a tougher time just existing?
I don't expect anyone to really take this seriously, and I don't want to equate this to the struggle of being non-cis-white-male.
- sullyj3 7y agoIf this were the entire explanation, why wouldn't you just expect equal wages and tall men to be slightly more worse off?
- bluntfang 7y agoI think this begs the question "why is there a wage gap between genders?"
- creaturemachine 7y agoIf this were true then the gender gap would be far different because, in my view, it's much more expensive being a woman in our society.
