THOUGHT OF THE DAY: an fair accounting of the "wage gap" must include the untold billions women extract from men.

Hey now, what is with hatin' on the working ladies?

They provide the service negotiated for the agreed upon price and do it with enthusiasm and skill.

Don't be lumping them in with the first three groups of tricks and hos!

Holy crap no.

That has nothing to do with whether women and men are paid the same amount in a similar job. Especially since if you want to include the question of compensation for housemakers, you also have to include their labor, and trust me when I tell you that the data would actually skew further into "women are paid less" if you want to go down that road.
No gift is obligatory, and if you're having to ply a woman with alcohol or gifts to get her to sleep with you, you're simply paying for sex. But, that's not a woman being "paid" a "wage", but instead being compensated for sleeping with you.
Alimony doesn't really exist in most American jurisdictions anymore. Maintenance can happen when one partner was solely the housemaker, but that goes back to the "compensation for being a housemaker" issue, which you lose anyway. Child support has nothing to do with the woman. Divorce settlements are the dividing up of marital property. If the woman earned more, she'd be "losing" stuff in a divorce, too. Using that as an argument is basically saying "her making less is okay, because if we get divorced, it means she gets relatively more". The solution to that complaint is to make their wages equitable
[Needs Citations]. Also, completely unrelated. It'd be like including money for the boyscouts in the "wages" for men, absolute bullocks.
This one makes sense, since those would actually be wages. Though you'd need to figure out how much the actual prostitute and escort is paid, and roll that in.

There we go. One out of five is a failing grade, mate.

money paid to prostitutes, escort services, etc| Money well spent.
You don't pay women for sex, you pay them to leave.
