You deliberately selectively quoted this article in order to advance your own personal agenda. That is the problem that causes misinformation to spread – not this article, where the statement you quoted is immediately followed by further discussion of that estimate and what might affect it.
This is a great example of why no article covering this topic can be discussed sensibly on this site – because of bad-faith comments like this.
- tgv 4y agoThe paragraph directly following reinforces the statement, doesn't discuss it, and implicitly widens it to all women. The rest of the text repeats the "x cents to the dollar" meme. I don't think that was bad faith.
- monsecchris 4y agoThe only personal agenda I have is pointing out staggering hypocrisy and when someone claims to be the arbiter of truth, it is my duty to hold them to it. I would act in exactly the same way if they were claiming the reason they perceive women to be paid less is because they are less intelligent "by some estimates"[1], but I have a strong suspicion they wouldn't do that. In my view, it is the same principle being broken in both examples and all I desire is treating them consistently.
