Which is why I only challenged the overtime issue!

Yes, with "shift" work. Ask a teacher what their overtime pay rate is.

Wanna feel real sorry for me real quick? I work for the state. Here's a fun game: Imagine any simple, yet multi-step task or process. Now, try to make it as complicated, roundabout, and inefficient as possible. Bonus points are allotted each time the task is sent back to point "A" before ever nearing point "B." Now imagine it's not a game, but your responsibility to carry out this process every day. :)

Fancy way of saying "giving." I am the middle-man between employees and benefits providers and also keep record of internal benefits like sick/vacation leave.

"They"/"their argument" meaning from the video? Maybe that's where the discrepancy is. I was referencing and linking what (I believe) those who believe in the wage gap use to support their argument. For example, there was a related piece in the NY Times just today that uses the data I posted. It seems (to me) that if one would want to disprove the prevalent wage gap argument, it would be beneficial to look at the other side's sources to understand how they arrived at their conclusion. I assume w…

Thank you. I really appreciate this.

Bloody Alien Blue keeps re-submitting any edits I make as new comments. Sorry, pal.

I'm sorry that you felt criticized. It was Horowitz, not you, whose statement I corrected. Also, for the record, I work on the benefits-appropriation side of HR, not employee relations. This role is in no way representative of my career path/ambitions and was not prompted by a (non-existent) Women's Studies agenda. I don't know what about my position strikes you as inherently evil, but I can guarantee you, I exercise no control or influence over employee treatment. I work with numbers.

You're totally right, and I shouldn't have said "only," because of course studies HAVE been done which include PT and FT workers. My fault for using a blanket term. I am writing this on my phone, so it will take me a while to see the links you've provided, but I will check them out. The data I linked to did show an earnings difference and did only account for FT workers, though. I chose this report not as artillery, but because I (perhaps incorrectly) assumed the most common source of wage gap a…

I also think it hurts one's stance (and the stance of an entire group) to make assumptions about and so rudely malign a newcomer. This part is also just my personal opinion.

You have just assumed that I subscribe to the notion of the wage gap. As should happen in reasonable defense of an issue, Horowitz provided several arguments against wage gap claims, rooted in factual data. I noted that one of these arguments (and its supporting data) was inaccurate. This is not an opinion. I didn't mention any other piece of his argument, nor did I support/reject the stance itself. Pointing out an inaccuracy in a video does not constitute dissent or defense. I, personally, thin…

While I don't want to just assume this post is even remotely aimed at me, I can't help but feel like I've been designated a troll-commenter based on a discussion I initiated last night. I commented on the wage gap YouTube video posted yesterday in an attempt to point out a flaw in the logic of its creator. I don't think inflating/misrepresenting data or employing logic fallacies should be acceptable for feminists or MRAs, and I wanted to point [what I saw as] that inaccuracy out. Subsequently, n…

Totally agree. What I'm trying to get at, though, is that there are positions (managers, doctors, teachers, attorneys) where working >40 hours a week is not actually considered "overtime" as the original comment indicated, but instead just a duty of the job. These are also positions where raises/promotions are often unlikely or nonexistent. I'm really not trying to argue semantics here, but I truly don't believe that ~2.5 hours OT is what creates the perception of the wage gap. I'm not arguing t…

Lol! No. We are talking WAGES, not keeping jobs. There are literally hundreds of positions which do not earn paid overtime. None of these are in sweatshops. As I mentioned several posts up, please look into payment of exempt vs non-exempt employees. You claimed men work and earn overtime more often than women, meaning their hourly overtime pay factors into the earnings discrepancy. This is incorrect.

What exactly were you CTRL+F-ing? I didn't say anything or make any claims about unemployment. The 75-100 ratio used in wage gap claims comes directly from the Census Bureau data I linked to (Fig. 2); this part is not disputable. The entire video is predicated on disputing this very figure. What I am saying is that his assertion that part-time jobs pay less than full-time jobs (true) and more women hold part-time jobs than men (true), SO the "wage gap" is then skewed, because those lower-paying …

And what you perceive as "going the extra mile" is often considered "doing your job," even if it requires >40 hours a week without OT pay.

And this is where you lose me. I think it's really counter-productive to just tell me I'm wrong and ignore the issue (overtime=/=more money) I've raised.

I don't realize it, no. As I mentioned above, though, I would be interested in seeing information supporting that notion. Especially statistics that include or account for exempt vs. non-exempt workers.

I'm not familiar with Pace Productivity or their "database of participants," but it would seem that it differs somewhat from national averages: http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat22.pdf ~2.5 hours OT seems negligible, especially when the census statistics don't seem to indicate exempt vs. non-exempt positions, wherein additional hours worked would not affect take-home pay.

But that's not the argument/basis for the wage gap claim... EDIT: Sorry, I re-read the way I phrased my initial comment, and it's a bit wonky. The video claims the wage gap can partially be explained away because women work more part-time (lower-paying) jobs than men, so they obviously have lower incomes. However, the census data where wage gap claims frequently originate only examines full-time, year-round workers.

Downvotes for citing the very study where wage gap statistics originate. OK.

Except "wage gap" statistics only take full-time, yearly workers and their salaries into account, so the argument that part-time jobs (which women tend to have more than men) pay less than full-time jobs is completely invalid.

Funding what? Murder education? Anti-homicide rallies? First of all, your assertion is wholly inaccurate. I assume rape receives more "funding" as a crime because it occurs at such a staggeringly higher rate than murder. ~90% of homicides are committed by men, so the scenarios of "unequal" treatment you present are not even remotely analogous. 2/3 of murders in the US are male/male; this is not "the system" or "the funding" disadvantaging men, it's men disadvantaging men. Murder is the byproduct…

How, exactly, would an "anti-murder" campaign function?

Feminist research paper that discusses how women are more satisfied with their jobs reeks of being written in 1989. FTFY.

This really got me thinking about the gender politics of fast food. I mean, Wendy's? Can you be more sexist? How come no Wally's, huh?

Ah, yes, the canonical feminist text, "Twilight." You raise a valid, well-reasoned point.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
