1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap No worries, a few things to consider: I'm not super familiar with the entire body of literature around the gender wage gap, but yes I would say that anyone who is implying that women are paid 23% less on grounds of pure discrimination is being at least a little dishonest. However, that doesn't mean that the other factors driving down those wages aren't important to explore. Are women on the whole working less hours? If so, why is that? Do they feel that the majority of household work falls to th…	/r/PussyPassDenied	14/04/17 09:19 PM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap http://www.nber.org/papers/w14681 Refer to table 6. I can assist with reading it if need be. When controlling for all other factors, the gap shrinks to about 4%. Also that doesn't mean that those factors should be ignored.	/r/PussyPassDenied	14/04/17 03:24 AM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap You're being melodramatic to say the least. I didn't use the word discrimination a single time for the record. You're reading WAY too much into what I'm saying because of your own agenda. Is having less women in the workforce the backbone of society? Because we stand to benefit economically from having more a diverse work force.	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 06:21 PM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap Every reply you try to crowbar your own agenda into my response and it's just not going to work. You have an obvious personal agenda here that I just can't understand, but at least we are talking about it like it's something that exists now. If you want to argue that this is all due to biology, that's all well and good, but don't even begin to imply that the jury is in on that issue either. You certainly haven't single handedly solved the puzzle of nature vs nurture.	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 06:06 PM
1	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap You seem to be applying a lot of value judgements to my comment that I didn't make. I'm saying there are external factors that make it more difficult for women to succeed in the workforce in similar levels to men. Those factors are mostly driven by societal norms. Many women find it frustrating that they need to choose between having a successful career and having a family, and given that in order for the human race to continue, we need to have families, maybe we should consider making it less p…	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 05:35 PM
0	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap There is an earnings gap and a wage gap. Both exist, and both are driven by a confounding amount of variables that deniers like yourself consciously choose to ignore. Female MBAs earn on average 15% less than male MBAs from the same school, directly after graduation. They have no children, they have the same degree from the same school, and the same experience. Wage gaps exist in different industries and in varying degrees of severity, and this also exist across racial lines. You are correct tha…	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 04:54 PM
0	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap If you think discrimination is dead in the west you are lying to yourself. As for your comment about any reputable economist, I know three personally. In fact, I don't know a single reputable economist who DOESN'T believe in the wage gap to some degree. The nuance of the issue is WHY it exists and what is driving it. It's pretty clear you have an agenda here. I'm interested in the truth, not your ideology.	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 04:31 PM
0	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap I'm sure you know better than my professors who have PhDs, the Department of Labor, Harvard, and the University of Chicago. lol	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 04:29 PM
3	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap Too bad you completely failed to do that here.	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 05:57 AM
15	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap Good lord, stop roasting the poor man. lol It's nice to see someone who is actually informed talking about the issue for once. Currently working on a masters of public policy myself and its really odd to hear people on reddit say the wage gap is a myth. It's widely accepted fact that it exists.	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 05:55 AM
6	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap http://review.chicagobooth.edu/economics/2016/video/partial-explanation-gender-pay-gap "Upon graduation, female MBA graduates earned 15% less than their male counterparts". It's a complicated issue, but we can't continue to ignore the external factors if we want women to be more successful in the workforce.	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 05:52 AM
3	Another Perspective on the Wage Gap The gap narrows to around 3-4% when you control for other factors in your regression I'm sure but that doesn't mean we shouldn't consider those outside factors when determining what kind of a society that we want to have. Many women consider it unfair that the majority of the home work and the task of raising the children still falls to them despite the fact that the majority of homes feature two working parents. Having children is typically good for the career of a man and having children is ty…	/r/PussyPassDenied	13/04/17 05:47 AM
