>Sure, maybe he answered a completely different question about asking for raises in general and not about the gender gap, but that's definitely not what was asked From the article, it sounds like what was asked to me. The article says he was asked "how women should ask for raises". We don't know if this is what was actually asked (it's not quoted in the article) or if the author assumed a general question about raise-asking referred specifically to women due to the venue. If someone has a video where we can get some additional context, that'd be great. Otherwise, I don't think we have enough data to really argue about it. You assume the implicit context and political baggage since this was posed at a woman's conference, and I don't, and I don't think Nadella did either. >it's still a crummy answer I think it's a fine answer. It's what he thinks about the topic. Maybe you disagree with him and think it's a poorly-reasoned opinion, but it's still a good answer, that is, it's still an actual response to the question that's reflective of his real opinion. As to wage gap, agreed it's not something to get into here, but here's one link from a non-partisan source. [1] I was just talking to Democratic activists that freely admitted this and believe the problem is that women are kept out of career by subtle social forces, not that they get paid way less than men for the same title/position. The DNC site wants to leave this ambiguous because they know people will be much less incensed by these perceived subtle social forces than by an obvious inequity. I'll leave it at that.
