I saw that tweet storm (if it was the same one, it was by a female therapist) and I replied to one of the replies, basically that I was very grateful/surprised

she did that, being a woman, when misandry is becoming increasingly popular these days and it's not even considered politically incorrect like misogyny is.

Later on I saw the lady's tweets on BoredPanda. They didn't include my reply though. If I'd replied directly to her I wonder if they would have, that would have

been neat. :p

You're a lovely person, Kate. We all underestimate the impact of kindness :)

Some people have no quality time being treated friendly, some really almost freak out. They assume I want to send them up or am a decepticon on steroids.

hahaha if you are a decepticon, you need to tell me, ok!? :O :O :O

Life is not necessarily more easy when you are trying to be nice to others.

Nor is it better when you behave like Rudy Giuliani.

Somehow I think this'll be counterproductive to the cause of male appreciation...

maybe

What a king!

If you feel this is the case can you not talk to your line manager about this? If its equal work for less pay, they are breaking equality regulations.

It's a well known fact women make 80 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts. We've had legislation on this as recently as 2009, but just like

Workplace discrimination, it's hard to prove, still goes on.

FakeNews. 1 that's HIGHLY illegal and 2 if it were true wouldn't company only employ women?

https://www.politifact.com/article/2015/jul/15/politifact-sheet-gender-pay-gap/

But does that take into effect the number of hours they work and the number of yrs?

Men typically take more hours and work more yrs than women because we have different needs to have children

https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/public-policy/hr-public-policy-issues/Documents/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf

tl;dr: this department of labour and CONSAD study states that the gender pay gap is almost entirely the result of individual choices. Choice is a good thing.

Individual choice doesn't explain why women are paid less for doing the same amount of work in the same field with identical qualifications

Proof? Other than a feminist rag😄

Comments like these are why you'll die alone

Is that a I can't find any proof? 😉

This is 100% you https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pOLmD_WVY-E

How do you know u don't suffer the same affliction?🙃

While Chris is being disrespectful, he is right in that proof is needed for this claim. As it needs to be called out and resolved due to it being illegal.

There's a link to a study where they accounted for these factors and still found a wage disparity. It's hyperlinked on the last paragraph of the politifact

Article I posted.

So most of the links are broken, but the study you're highlighting is interestingly the one I linked to. Given politifact is clearly focused on proving a pay

gap could it not be argued that they are looking at the data in a particular way - even though the conclusion is as what I quoted above?

It was not. Here's the article: https://www.aauw.org/resources/research/simple-truth/

I'm going to need some help here. Had a quick scroll over the report - I couldn't see anywhere that showed that a women are paid less for the same job as men.

Averaging men's earnings vs women's earnings is a very simple view to take on a complicated issue - which is why I like the study I showed that looks at the

factors going into why this gap may be there and if there is malice there. If malice can be found we should 100% stomp it out but it looks to be choices.

"Still, a study by the American Association of University Women controlled for a number of factors, including college major, occupation, age, geographical regio

-n and hours worked, and found a persistent 7 percent wage gap between men and women a year after graduating college."

It still doesn't address the issue if was legal to pay women less why isn't there a disproportionate

Oh that good its certainly refining things (perhaps the 7% is mostly the impact of choice and salary negotiation?).

But its doesn't drill down enough 'this women does the same job as this man and is paid less'. Fully on board if this is found.

amount of female to male workers. It's not a dickhead cop out. Fields can also vary in the type of job for instance construction. Women

may have book keeping positions & men will work on the beams. Both are in the construction field with radically different jobs

The only place in America that could drill down that hard would be the department of labour which forwards the study I brought up.

It's okay to be wrong fellas, I forgive you.

You're mistaken, Alice. While you raise some evidence towards your original point. You haven't proved that men get paid more for doing the same job as a woman.

Something is causing an overall gap between general earnings, but I've yet to find a better reason than the report I brought up saying choice is the major part.

Yeah Google dropped the ball on international men's day... every year haha

they're too woke to celebrate men =p
