Good insight into the wage gap

Good article. Now that the wage gap has been fully exposed for the sham that it is, feminists insist on work-life balance (ie. a CEO working 9-5)

This is a great article. Whether you agree or not, she raises excellent points.

The idea isn't new and the feminists have always come out and said "why should a woman be the one to make these sacrifices for her family?" I think it's biology. A woman undergoes a lot more chemical responses in the process of bringing a child into the world and while raising them. My husband could certainly testify to this. It's no surprise to me that they'd sacrifice their career goals for their families. Feminists just need to deal with it. The fact that women are becoming academically and professionally successful as well as narrowing the wage gap is good enough for me.

The “pay gap” is probably the most widely-cited example of supposed disadvantages faced by women today. It is also totally misleading, as it is only a snapshot of average yearly full-time incomes that does not account for overtime (about 90% male), type of work, or other non-discriminatory, voluntary factors. The Department of Labor recently funded a study that proved this and found the pay gap is caused by choices, not discrimination.

Women simply have more options than men to be primary parents, and many of them exercise that option rather than work long, stressful hours. That is why 57% of female graduates of Stanford and Harvard left the workforce within 15 years of entry into the workforce.
