The wage gap has been debunked to the point of overkill. Why do feminists keep bringing it up?

The same reason why femsies keep preaching "bodycount doesnt matter".
Its an attempt to make themselves look good.

There are still enough people who don't know that the wage gap is bunk by or enough that just don't care to let them keep using it as a talking point.

Feminists keep bringing it up because the fact it’s due to women choosing to work less and make other such choices doesn’t fit their agenda.

Look, the BLS, that reports the gender earnings gap, clearly states they are comparing average wages, not men and women doing the same work for the same hours. Feminists clearly misrepresent this for agenda reasons. (They want to claim women are discriminated against so they argue women need certain “corrective” advantages.)

I think we all know why feminists keep pushing this one. So called “liberal feminism” is primarily about promoting upper middle class women’s careers! They want a short cut to the top: which in practice means preferential hiring, and preferential promotions through stuff like “affirmative action” (sometimes called “positive discrimination” - it’s “good” when it benefits them you see) and “quotas”.

Pushing this line helps convince women they’re treated unfairly (which many just assume anyway) and puts pressure on decision makers to maintain the current discriminatory system, indeed to extend it.

I’m sure most here have seen that the feminist proposal to deal with the low pay of child care workers is to…. have more female lawyers and executives, and force companies to promote them more rapidly by DEI stuff. Just as the problems experienced by unemployed black guys in the bad side of Detroit will apparently be made much better by making sure the daughter of a merchant banker gets the job ahead of the son of a janitor, so too will the incomes of child care workers miraculously be solved by putting more power women on the fast track to partner in the top law firms. But don’t ask them to pay more for Child Care though!

in their mind women having benefits over men means equality but feminism is a womens interest movement...

It's not just by feminist, it's done by progressives and journalist who keep repeating these "studies", even if they are debunked, because they are heavily biased.

The overwhelming majority of people who are involved in deadly work related incidents are men. Here is my solution, if someone brings up the wage gap, just bring up the "death-gap", and then discuss.

Because it's based on a half truth, women make less money than men, but never give the reason, because they work less.

So, I think every time it comes up it should be reframe as "working gap". Men make more because they work more

IMO, their strategy is keep bringing it up until people get tired of fighting it, and just accept it.

Well, when your only bat is a strand of spaghetti, you’ll keep swinging…

It’s all over mainstream media. The wage gap must be corrected

Because feminism is politics, not principle.

Current_Finding_4066 · 2023-09-21T15:04:25+00:00

They are preaching to the believers.
