This is a timely discussion for me. I’m a woman in a tech career in a company where the others who do my job are mostly men. I recently took over my boss’s job when he moved on to another project. I estimate that he makes at least twice what I do. But, in my time with the company, I’ve missed at least 16 weeks on disability for several surgeries, miscarriages and maternity leave. He can just pick up and fly somewhere at a moment’s notice and I can’t. I avoid travel and work from home. I work through lunch and leave early to attend my son’s baseball games. So to the company, he’s worth more than I am. I’m OK with that because it’s a sacrifice I made consciously and willingly to have my son. I think many of the women complaining want to have their cake and eat it too.

A civilization’s population regrowth rate will fail to replace the casualties in peace time, if certain modifications are made to the gender roles.

Of course, that is a long term issue. Most people can’t think past the number 2 in scale order effects.

30 years ago I was getting paid less than my male coworkers for the same job. So I quit, left the industry, & took a commission-only job. Problem solved.

This report is great. In fact, it’s devastating:

http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf

“An Analysis of Reasons for the Disparity in Wages Between Men and Women”

From the Foreward:

“…However, despite these gains the raw wage gap continues to be used in misleading ways to advance public policy agendas without fully explaining the reasons behind the gap.

…thereby leave an adjusted gender wage gap that is between 4.8 and 7.1 percent.

…Research also suggests that differences not incorporated into the model due to data limitations may account for part of the remaining gap.”

What’s so great & devastating about it? It’s a report that the Labor Dept contracted for. And the Foreward is written by a Labor Dept. Official.

Writers under the thrall of the Leftist publishing regime, get paid 6 cents per word.

The royalty system of kindle and new publishing methods, are significantly different than the advance payment methods of Legacy houses.

The problem with Western civilization is that the caner and AIDS of the LEft refuses to modernize and adapt, so people think the economic problems are due to inequality. No, it’s due to Leftist evil.

I got a lame-brained letter from a local pinko politician about the “77 cents to the dollar” situation.

I immediately thought, “Shoot, they were telling us that THIRTY YEARS AGO. So whatever it is they’ve ‘done’ ain’t working, is it?”

Snort.

Same pay for the same job (in all respects); also, we really do need to up our game in asking for more money.

It isn’t really so much “Equal Pay Day,” (as made evident by their own flagrant disparity for 5 years, but one more way of conditioning the sheep to het used to him going around congress.
It’s becoming so constant and flagrant, many have forgotten that legally, it’s only congress that makes the laws and levies taxes.
