That's a funny way to say that women are still making less than men

  When you control for different career choices, women make the same. However: Women die far less at work: http://phsinverter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/workplace-fatalities-by-gender.jpg http://phsinverter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/workplace-...

Also note: "Women make up more than half of the U.S. population, and control or influence 85% of consumer spending" They control most of the money despite not actually earning it. https://girlpowermarketing.com/statistics-purchasing-power-women/ https://girlpowermarketing.com/statistics-purchasing-power-w...

    Looking specifically at the data presented in the article, the headline is damned suspect. But looking at what you've cherrypicked for me, I find it interesting that you conflate "control or influence" with "control."

      "Women drive 70-80% of consumer spending while men control the remaining 20-30%." Why do you think 80% of commercials with a couple in it, the man is a bumbling idiot and the woman comes in to save the day with product? https://blog.gitnux.com/male-vs-female-spending-statistics https://blog.gitnux.com/male-vs-female-spending-statistics
