"Many people in the equal-pay debate argue that inferior negotiating skills are at the root of the gender pay gap."
Has not been my experience in pay matters and how is this different than the idea that women are not well suited to programming or math? Women are poor negotiators?
- forgottenpass 11y agohow is this different than the idea that women are not well suited to programming or math? In this case, the sexism is benevolent. (On the surface at least. Do you think such a salary policy will serve to increase or decrease their overall labor costs?)

- return0 11y agoI wonder if the pay gap only has to do with gender. Do all men get the same salary?
- benihana 11y agoAs a white man this is so condescending. There's this insinuation that I was born into the world brimming with confidence and endowed with some natural ability to negotiate. I had to learn the rules of this "men's game" and fail in this like everybody else. But I don't get to say I'm discriminated against when I fuck up a salary negotiation and get paid less. I just have to suck it up and do better next time. Like literally every game I play.
