Now when I say bullshit, I don't mean it in the sense that it doesn't exist, I mean bullshit as in the way it's presented
There's a few reasons as to why men are paid more, such as...
Men are more likely to work overtime
Men are less likely to have time off
Men are more likely to take risks
Men tend to work higher paying jobs, such as the military, construction, bricklaying, etc
So there's a reason men are paid more, men WORK more
A lot of people seem to just acknowledge the fact that the wage gap exists, rather than taking into consideration why

It should be bigger considering all the things you list off, the fact that it’s not shows that companies actively try to reduce the wage gap in unfair ways.

Might those differences be rooted in the way men and women are raised, though? I would think it’s safe to guess that men are socialized to take more risks, work longer hours, and unabashedly ask for raises, whereas women haven’t historically been taught to be breadwinners (were kept out of the job market for decades etc, and that mentality doesn’t change overnight) or to take risks. Also, women take more time off bc they have kids to tend to, etc. Those are my thoughts. In summary, I agree with what you’re saying, and I think the fact that those things are what result in women making less money than men are still problematic in a different way. Thoughts?
