idk if anyone’s made this rebloggable yet but i sure as hell needed it on my blog

Except that the wage gap is a myth.

Most of the rest are legitimate concerns though.

1. Your articles brought up the point that women go into occupations that are paid less than the ones men choose. This is patently false. These occupations are paid less because they are taken up by women.  This is an entirely separate issue from equal pay for equal work.  Regardless, blaming selection bias still leads to a 10-15% wage gap.

2. Even when controlling for selection bias due to occupation and number of hours worked, there’s still a significant gap of anywhere between thirteen to FORTY-FOUR PERCENT depending on occupation between women and men doing the same work with the same qualifications. 

3. Even the Bureau of Labor Statistics acknowledges a median wage gap.  Broken down by industry. 

fef this reply is turnin me on

Oh hey look at how the shit I talk about is easily backed up by a lot of hard data. ISN’T THAT NEAT. 

Oh wow, sturmpony linked to fuckin’ Spearhead to make their there-is-no-wage-gap argument. Spearhead, btw, is a particularly vitriolic MRA blog, and there used to be a forum? Which I can’t find anymore? And with the forum you could play this really fun game where you searched for the word “rape” and timed how long it took for you to close the tab, get a drink, and curl up into a ball bemoaning the continued existence of the human race.
