I realize that it isn’t everyone’s fault that they don’t know about gender economics. With Obama and every news outlet in the country spouting the 77% statistic, it’s a wonder anyone knows the truth about gender pay. I decide that, given my soon-to-be credentials and position in my committee and Finance and Economics Association, I could prepare a presentation and lecture to educate people on the issue.

I prepare an event with reputable scholarly articles, references available for fact-checking, and I break down the misconceptions in a reasonable manner—all the while keeping the presentation very pro-women. It addresses the fact that the 77% is a mean-ratio and doesn’t control for education, experience, or even occupation. It addresses that when controlled for this, women actually make about 98% what men make. It also addressed the social reasons why men generally occupy higher paying fields and why this is a problem, and how it can be remedied.

I took the presentation to my committee chair. He told me that it would be inappropriate to contradict the other event since Student Housing already endorsed it. If I was to go forward, I would have to go to the Women’s Resource Center and receive permission, as well as speak to the President of Housing and ask if I can present this controversial material and risk branding the association as prejudiced.

I thought: “Hey, this is okay. If the Women’s Resource Center likes my presentation, they may endorse my event.”

I go to the Women’s Resource Center (WRC). The first thing I address is the cost of their event. Is it free to everybody, or just women? If it’s not free to me, how much does it cost?

>It’s free to everyone, but we are marketing to women. It’s an advertising strategy.

Okay. I tell them my predicament but not that my event might contradict theirs. I ask if they can provide me with the works cited for the information in their lecture so I can add some of it to my own, or avoid sending mixed messages.

>We don’t have that stuff. We get our lectures off a website. They tell us what to say and we ferry it.

Ask if they are giving lectures on information which they haven’t verified as factual. Yep. I ask if they can email the website to me so I can check it out. I ask if they would be interested in an analysis of the pay gap to complement their Salary program. They want to see what I have so far, so I give them a copy and we go over it in person. The woman working with me was visibly upset by every slide in my PowerPoint.

After it’s over:

>I’ll look at some stuff with my coworkers. I don’t understand economics, so I need to verify things. We’ll get back to you. You’re welcome to lecture at your Residence Hall, but not here.

Pretty much know that they will turn me down, but at least I got the go ahead for the original event I had planned. I tell them that I’m still interested in attending their Salary Negotiation event if I’ll be welcome. They’ll see me there.

I get an email from them two days later. The email has the website I asked for: www.wageproject.org

I go to the website to do some fact-hounding. I find absolutely no cited sources. None. They put one link at the bottom of some graphics: “U.S. Census Data on Women’s Wages”. I click on it; it’s a dead link. This site is complete shit. I do find this, though:

>women’s work is consistently paid less than men’s work
>Are janitors really worth more than nurses’ aides, parking lot attendants more than child care workers, construction laborers more than bookkeepers and cashiers?

Thinking to myself:
>Janitors jobs are paid higher because they are low-prestige, labor-intensive, and downright nasty, and therefore have a lower supply and higher demand for workers; nurses’ aids aren’t even nurses—they do very remedial paperwork and fetching assignments
>Parking lot attendants are forced to stand out in whatever weather for hours and have high instances of violent assaults against them; child care workers are paid lower wages because it wouldn’t make sense for anyone to pay more per hour to take care of their child than they would gain working in that time—it is BY DEFINITION a job that MUST pay lower than almost all other jobs
>Construction laborers vs. bookkeepers and cashiers? This one has to be a fucking joke… it has to be…

They're not joking. They think people who do less work under less stressful conditions should be paid MORE. This is what my University is TEACHING.

Also in the email:

>I spoke with [name] about your presentation and we don’t feel it would be appropriate for our messaging and the audience we try to bring into the WRC.
>I understand you plan to attend which is perfectly fine… As we’ll be following a pre-set agenda and tight timeline, we [discourage interjections during the lecture].

To cut down on the length of my posts, she basically told me that my lecture may or may not be accurate, but they don’t want me to give it because it hurts their cause. Whatever. They have contacted my boss to tell him that what I am proposing to teach is detrimental to the Feminist movement and that by disseminating this information to the public, I am increasing gender prejudice. I might get a cease and desist.

Regardless, I go to their event. Not to interrupt or criticize, but to genuinely listen to what they had to say and open my mind to the possibility I might be wrong. Stay quiet. Stay supportive. If I have issues, I’ll address them in private. I was the only man in a room about 50 women.

All in all, it was a good event. There was some legitimately good advice on salary negotiation, and I was generally pleased with how everything turned out, but here are some things that I realized throughout the workshop:

>cont.

>Everyone introduced themselves with their Name, Majors/Jobs, and “an interesting fact about themselves”; all my what…
>When introducing themselves, almost all of them listed their majors as Gender Studies, Sociology, English, or Art
>More than half of the “interesting facts about themselves” were in the following three categories: what their husbands did for a living, what was going on in their child’s life, recent engagements or marriages—these women had to think HARD on this, so they literally had nothing good to say about themselves
>When talking about budgeting, every single woman in the room (not exaggerating) factored in entertainment and vacation into their monthly budgets (which would be used to justify higher wages)—this was not even a thought in my mind and I was genuinely surprised by this; I always thought that entertainment and vacation were things that you did with the EXTRA money you had after the budget was figured
>Many women were in agreement that they should negotiate for longer paid vacation time or sick days before hearing benefits or GETTING OFFERED THE JOB

I have no idea if women can ever be saved in our economy. They fuck themselves in the face and then blame men for all work-related problems. Some even had the audacity to say that men got better benefits than women.

I don’t know what to do after this, but I am going to give my fucking presentation regardless of what my boss tells me. I’ll only work there for less than a month more anyway.

>Equal pay for equal work is required by law under the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972
>Sex-based wage discrimination is banned under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

So, one would imagine that lawyers would be banking off of class action law suits if the gender-gap is as pervasive as some claim it to be.

That's all you had to say bro. I didn't read the rest, but I'm on your side.

>>541787878
The fact of the matter is, that women being paid near equal wages to men, they are just less prevalent in higher paying jobs.

The 75% was first proposed in a study called "Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being". The statistic was retrieved by taking the average salary of all women in the country and dividing it by the average salary of all men in the country.

Now, in 2014, the same study tells us that the gap is actually closer to 82%.

That study fails to control for experience, education, and number of years on the job and is therefore, misleading.

>Then I give the following model for those people who don't understand.

An economy has 30 people in it: 15 men, 15 women.
There are 2 jobs in the economy: Job A, which pays $50/hour, and Job B, which pays $10/hour.

10 men and 5 women are employed by Job A; 10 women and 5 men by Job B.

Finding the average earnings yields the following for both men and women:
Men = 10(50) + 5(10) = $550/hour
Women = 5(50) + 10(10) = $350/hour

350/550 = .6363636...

>Therefore, the wage gap in this economy is 63.6% even though men and women are making equal amounts of money in each job and there is no discrimination

The discrimination is in who gets the job, not within the job itself. Men hold more of the high paying jobs and are more likely to hire other men.

A study by June and David O’Neil controlled for these components in a study published in 2012 and found that the actual percentage was closer to 98%.

This is probably one of the most scrutinized studies in recent history, but has been confirmed by virtually every PhD economist in the country and multiple economists have conducted their own studies and found similar results.

So, now, it seems more reasonable:
>Women in a job will make the same as men in the same job
>Women with the certain credentials and education will make the same as men with those same credentials
>Women who have worked X years will make the same as men who have worked X years

That's not the average, that's the total per gender.

>>541789340
>How exactly did this 75% stat materialize?

Women in America is skewed because a larger amount of men are in higher paying jobs than women...

>Is this because of gender segregation and discrimination in hiring policy?
>Is it because of cultural norms such as ‘stay-at home moms’ and ‘head of the household husbands’?

Absolutely. We have developed a culture in which men are less likely to hire women because of many stigmas, some of which are unfair and even inaccurate. For instance, pregnancy leave being accounted for in hiring policies when the woman in question has no desire to have children. But as I will cover in a moment, these are mostly social issues that cannot be accounted for by regulation and legislation.

So, what else?

Reasons regarding individual choice that contribute to the fact that men dominate higher paying positions:

I will admit. Some of my sources beyond this point are a little sketchy. Some are legit though. I'm still tracking down better sources. I have to go through a lot of journals and articles I read in my Economies of Poverty and Discrimination class I took two years ago to find more concrete evidence. But it's there, I assure you.

Child care workers take care of multiple children, not just one. Tell me again how the economics you explained for that role work out?

I appreciate that in your youth you have some passion about something, but you're making the typical mistakes most college students do: assuming you know what it's like in the real world.

Reminds me of first-year psych students who assume they can accurately diagnose all their friends and family -- a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Most higher-paying jobs are not dangerous.

Upper management and executives are overwhelmingly male.

In the consulting company I once worked at, I saw skilled women paid less because of the false perception that women aren't as technical. They had to fight to get any sort of equality with males, who had to do nothing but show up.

>Women, as a matter of subject preference, choose lower paying fields of study than men

7% of female professionals have degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics fields, as opposed to 38% of male graduates. Women are far more likely to study education, liberal arts, and social science occupations by choice.

This comes straight out of "Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being", the study responsible for the 75% stat.

U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration (March 2011) “Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being”. White House Council on Women and Girls <www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/Women_in_America.pdf>

Controlled for credentials, they do. Dangerous jobs that do not require a degree are higher paying than safe jobs that do not require a degree.

That was just my surface thought when reading it. Regardless, parking jobs pay higher because of demand. The amount of people who need parking in urban areas is greater than the amount of parents that need child care. Everyone has a car, about half have kids.

>Upper management and executives are overwhelmingly male.
Because the only way females can manage any company or country, or family, or relationship, is to burn all resources and live in their own dirt, crying about how it's everyone else's fault.

They have slowly been degrading how tough combat training is to incorporate women. War is the last place you want to do this, because war isn't politically correct. The next war we get into we're going to see a lot of dead women on the battlefield and a lot of feminazis trying to lobby against enemy forces for 'sexism in a warzone".

According to studies conducted by CBS News (I know; fuck the source--I'm not even going to post the link because I know it's bullshit, but the results are dangerously intuitive):

>Women prefer jobs in pleasant locations and are less likely to be comfortable with relocation for work

Jobs which require relocation and travel (or jobs in dangerous, dirty, uncomfortable, or isolated places) tend to pay higher because of a shortage in labor and compensation for travel and living expenses.

>Women, on average, have shorter work weeks by about 6 hours (15%)

>Men work more night shifts and weekends

>Women choose lower stress jobs within the same career fields

For example, men in the medical profession gravitate toward surgery while women gravitate toward pediatrics.

I run a company. It's small, 24 people. Of those, 5(including myself) are men. They make more on average then we do. Because the other 4 men do less work then all the women but 2, and I don't pay myself anymore then I need to be able to reinvest.
Women are just as qualified as men are. They just might not have the same qualifications. But not all men have the same qualifications either. In my situation, more women intervened for jobs with the required qualifications then men did.
And for the record, while I've had a few issues with people not getting along, that's common among all businesses.

Anon, you didnt say what your company does, nor what the job description is for the women. Perhaps you own a stripclub, and the majority of your employees are "dancers".

Or perhaps you run a restaurant, and in your area, the females happen to be better waitresses.

This is why anecdotal evidence is a fallacy. One data point doesnt mean much, in the grand scheme of things.

>>541789068
This is pitifully true.
As someone who attends a super prestigious liberal arts college, I know how impossible it must be to organize an event that portrays women as anything that doesn't glorify them or pose them as victims of society. Any negative light shined on the objective "woman" is immediately declared sexist, while the objective "man" is defined by only negatively.
There's no way to have a decent, well-natured argument about gender roles with anyone on this campus unless it frames women as the underdog victims of a patriarchal society. I can't even argue with the MEN on this campus, most of them are just as radically feminist as the women are.
Hilarious arguments I've heard from guys I've discussed gender issues with on this campus include:
>Misandry is impossible and doesn't exist. Not even talking about it in a societal sense, he was seriously arguing that it was impossible for a woman to hate a man in the same way as a man could hate a woman.
>Female privilege is a patriarchal construction created by MRAs and is completely nonexistent whatsoever. As in, women don't have any privileges in society that men lack. (Then again, this guy is literally the most radical feminist I've ever met. He even refuses to masturbate to the thought of a woman because it objectifies them.)
The best discussion I've ever had on campus was with one girl while I was waiting in line to order food. She said that she loved being a woman and wouldn't want it any other way, she can get away with whatever she wants because she is, by default, the victim of everything that happens to her.
I don't believe that women are "inferior" to men in any sense other than their general lack of physical strength. I see no correlation between intelligence and gender, I've met just as many stupid women as I have stupid men. However, it's my belief that while men evolved to get their way through physical strength, women learned to get their way through emotional manipulation.

>>541792839
So, we have two different gaps:

77%-- the two best ways to close this gap is to either implement policies which ensure women make more money than men for equal work so it all averages out, or to rob women of their freedom in the economy and employ them in jobs against their own preferences

98%--this gap is truly the result of discrimination in the marketplace and needs to be addressed, but not through legislation. This is a larger difference than people think.

In a year, the average person makes about $40,000. A 2% gap means a disparity of $800 a year. In a lifetime, that may mount to more than $40,000. This is the problem we should be looking at. The figures certainly do not indicate a $1,000,000 disparity, though.

Thanks. Sounds really condescending and sarcastic when I read it aloud.

>>541793493
Now that it isn't nearly as easy to get your way through brute force alone, women have the upper hand since their manipulative abilities have remained just as efficient, if not even more so. Therefore, woman has constructed the ultimate societal image for herself and has thrust it into the mainstream: she now has the equality she has always wanted, and is still able to play the victim in every situation. Denying her victim status is social suicide, so she is free to do as she pleases.

>So why does this all matter?

To ensure that everybody, regardless of sex, is treated fairly, it is important that everyone understand gender economics to some extent.

Misinterpreting the gender gap can be dangerous for several reasons:
>Discouragement--It is important for girls to feel that they are valued equally, or they can incorrectly assume that they are somehow worse than men
>Resentment--Women who believe they are disparaged become militant toward men, and men become militant in response
>Alienation and Segregation--Wage gap beliefs can cause people to go at it alone and distrust the system, or create pack mentalities where women separate themselves from men
>The pursuit of policies which remedy a non-existent problem can create market failures and inefficiencies or a reversal of the problem

I run a Music School. The men teach guitar, and higher levels of piano. The women teach lower piano, voice, musical theater, dance and run the daycare for siblings.

And that's the point I was trying to make. Just because there are less women with X qualifications then men doesn't mean X qualification is less valuable then Y. They are both needed. And there are many jobs where I'd rather hire a woman then a man with the same qualifications. An example being the child care, parents feel safer with 20 year old girls looking after their child then the 40 year old man teaching guitar in the next room.

And I prefer looking at 20 year old girls bent over all day chasing little ones around, rather then 40 year old men.

Real Life Examples of Gap Reversal

According to a study by Conor Dougherty:
>Single, childless women ages 22-30 were earning 8% more than men on average
>In Atlanta, women earned 21% higher than their male counterparts

Warren Farrell, three-time board of directors member of the National Organization for Women New York City showed in his book “Why Men Earn More”:
>In occupations requiring bachelor's degrees women's starting salaries exceed men's
>Female bankers and dieticians earn 16-30% more than men in the same profession

The Monthly Labor Review reports a widening gap in education:
>Women have begun to significantly outnumber men in college
>The split of college graduates is roughly 60% women, 40% men
>This gap is likely to widen as affirmative action for women becomes more pervasive

A report prepared specifically for the U.S. Department of Labor and the Employment Standards Administration stated the following:

"This study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action... The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers.“

If this is the case, the persistent wage gap may be an entirely social phenomenon.

And I basically end on: "We have the propensity for great love among us. Social fissures can be closed, wounds bound, but not by the persecution of one another or the elevation of one over the other. Cooperation is the most fundamental part of who we are; let us embrace it."

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Critiques? Complaints? Insults?

End.

That's bullshit, I happen to have known an executive for my entire life (family member) and that isn't how it happens. They hire the best person for the job, it's as simple as that. They are in the business of making money, so if a man and a woman came along, and the man was less qualified than the woman, they would hire the woman.

I see, everyone was just assuming you're a dumb cunt, because you're not spectacular at articulation.

I get ya bro, you're not a dumbass.
I figure what you're saying is very apparent, women have a sort of emotional affinity to deal with children, and generally, they're better at singing from the start because a woman's voice has a greater affect on men, and women alike.

tl;dr
Bitches be good at emotions.
Men be good at logic and strength.

male: made over 110k , health insurance, 50% Off all merchandise, free transportation paid by employer , bought a new apartment , laughed at me when I had to buy a small soup because I couldn't afford it.

me: $25 an hour doing his job - doing his job and setting up emails while he slept at his desk

I am still doing this job. I haven't received a raise in two years. It doesn't fucking matter anymore because it will be over in June. I don't hate him, I hate the company that makes me work like a goddamn slave. I will now have to cough up over $300 to pay for healthcare. My wallet will be officially closed next month. I will not be purchasing anything. Fuck you economy.
