So we all here know that the "Women earn $0.70 on the Dollar" is complete fabrication; it is simply women not working as much which is a form of female privelge as Men are still seen as ATMs and providers.

However, let's look at the real case of wage gap. Mainly minimum wage jobs.

  • Stores, especially Supermarkets. Women do cash; Men do stock. Equal pay. Men face much tougher working conditions
  • Fast Food Restaurants. Women do cash; Men cook in a hot fryer. Equal pay. Men face much tougher working conditions
  • Full serve Restaurants and Bars. Women get higher tips

Now let's look at Office Jobs:

  • In offices, women are held to lower standards of professional dress, which signals that they are held to lower standards in general.
  • Affirmative Action / Quotas / Employment Equity means it is significantly easier for women to find work and get promoted

And of course, while Women have higher earning potential, they also get spent on by Men. Most egregiously by OnlyFans types who get money for showing some skin but in general. But even beyond that you have dating, wedding rings, etc. Where a "privileged" Man is seen as a provider and must work for the "opressed" Woman.

Let's count effort in vs revenue received for Men and Women throughout one's life and determine the true Wage Gap
