"Workplace deaths and gender gaps": Discusses how men are much more likely to die in the workforce and how dangerous jobs tend to pay better; this can be one of the reasons why there is a gender pay gap, but feminists and others rarely if ever mention the danger gap or link the statistics together.

It's a lot worse than that.

A year or so ago there was an article in (I believe) the Washington Post about how women are disproportionally affected by murder in the workplace, WHY, because of all the causes that women die from in the workplace, murder is #2 and it accounts for 22% of their deaths (my numbers might be slightly off) while murder "ONLY" accounts for approx 8% of men who die.

Sounds terrible right, but when you dig deeper you find out that more men are murdered on the job than women who die from ALL causes combined but the reason it only accounts for 8% of men who die is that men die SO MANY MORE TIMES from other causes.

There's only one reason for the pay gap- men are expected to pay women to have any sort of relationship with them.

The most expensive relationship is marriage. If you are married, in most states, 50% of everything you earn and save belongs to your partner, even if you later get divorced.

In order to make payments to women within marriage/divorce, men must earn more money than women in all other avenues.

This is a mathematical/accounting certainty. It doesn't matter how money is earned, men will have to do whatever they need to do in order to earn more of it.

And this also explains why only married men earn more.

Patriarchy is a myth

There's a lot of bitterness in the thread. I'm not sure what feminism or men's rights has to do with any of it. Men are risk takers, that's not necessarily a good thing. They should probably organize for higher wages for more dangerous jobs, but that's a whole other subject. I'm not gloating or being hateful, but with so many women out of work from COVID - maybe they'll take on more dangerous jobs.

In the U S., there is one instance of a job that is the most dangerous of all. It has long hours and pays meager wages. Women will never take this job, even if they wanted to. Men don't have a choice, they'll take the job or face imprisonment. I'm speaking about conscription. Unless there is sweeping change only men are required to register with Selective Service. Only men will be drafted in war. I don't accept that women can join anytime she wants. Of course they can and do in peacetime. When it's time for sacrifice, the risk of being killed in combat, will they join then? They may not even be allowed.

Feminists do not do double duty as men’s rights activists. You can do that yourself.

If men don’t want to die, they shouldn’t choose dangerous jobs.
