The idea that women are treated better in the USSR is insane. Please go visit Russia and tell me that. It's the most sexist developed society I've dealt with.

- david38 5y agoThey're not, but often, the wealthier the country, the more the difference in pay between men and women because women can simply get whatever job they're interested in without regard to the money. If you are in India or Russia, the difference between being a programmer vs local laborer is extreme, so anyone who can become a programmer (or similar high paying job for multi-national company) will. Thus, Russia and India have more female programmers (and similar) than the US.
- ivan_gammel 5y agoIt’s better to check statistic data. Gender pay gap existed in USSR, was comparable to the Western countries and didn’t go anywhere after 1991. Russia leaned to the right and became more socially conservative since then. It is indeed a very sexist society now.
