No it doesn't.
Here's a report that the Department of Labor commissioned
http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20...
TL;DR: women and men with the same experience and the same job get the same salary. Women, though (a) opt out of the labor force to have and raise kids, and (b) opt out of high paying jobs that are dangerous or require insane time commitments.
Feel free to respond with any actual statistics you may have.
> One third of all women are killed by an intimate partner.
One third.
ONE THIRD??!?
Let's see what the CDC has to say:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm
1,219,784 women died in the US in 2009.
3,673 died of homicide.
That means that 0.28% of women were killed by ANYONE.
...yet you claim that 33% of women are killed by their intimate partners.
- drhayes9 15y agoThe violence statistic was a mistype: one third of women murdered are murdered by an intimate partner. Check this out: http://jec.senate.gov/public/?a=Files.Serve&File_id=9118a9ef-0771-4777-9c1f-8232fe70a45c http://jec.senate.gov/public/?a=Files.Serve&File_id=9118... It refers to your study, but clarifies some stuff. All other things being equal (skills, experience, etc), resumes with female names were responded to less than resumes with male names. Women who have children are paid less than men who have children in the same occupation even if they are at the same level. In nearly every study of gender inequality in pay, there is an unexplained discrepancy that favors men.

Here's rebuttal of some of their findings http://www.amptoons.com/blog/2010/11/26/how-the-consad-report-on-the-wage-gap-masks-sexism-instead-of-measuring-it/ http://www.amptoons.com/blog/2010/11/26/how-the-consad-repor...
