UK: Young men's wages fall behind women's for the first time as gender pay gap grows, damning report reveals

They'll actually celebrate this, rather than helping out men.

"The reason women earn more than men is because women are better, smarter and men are dumb, lazy and pathetic." thats what the misandrists are gonna say

XenoX101 · 2025-03-03T12:04:23+00:00

But muh wage gap, watch as noone cares anymore now that it's men falling behind.

The report angers me. Their solution is to give men more bootstraps but to continue giving charity to women.

Vespasians · 2025-03-03T11:54:59+00:00

What a surprise. The biggest winner of diversity drives has been white/middle class women.

When you look at gender pay gap isn’t the whole picture for economic inequality between sexes .

Because lots of boyfriends are expected to pay for girlfriends , it is seen as basic .

But girlfriends aren’t expected to pay for boyfriends

Same goes for husbands and wives.

The expectation of boyfriends or male in general as economic provider , doesn’t make sense in a society which both sexes work and have almost equal pay.

some people suggest that gender pay gap largely is because men averagely work longer time and do more work .

What about gender conscription/mobilization gap?

You know something really insane, I saw most women on TikTok, they said they become rich and famous through OnlyFans, something that you all are familiar with and it is truly disgusting to say the least. There are other who records themselves as my life as a tech girlie, manager, software engineer and many more, most of them were doing nothing but hanging out and eat at the place they work at, still they get paid higher wages than us men who work hard every single day to just to make ends meet. Yet we don't get much wages other than those women who get more than us. Double standard at workplace everywhere I go and no one bats an eye about this discrimination towards us men. Women make more wages than us and still they expect us to pay the bills on our date despite being paid more. Women said that they want men with more money and status and yet they the ones who have all of the money. So you see, this is why young men wages fall behind women for the first time, because of this societal biasness toward us men. If any women want to counter my statement, let's just say that you are in denial and being an idiot for not knowing about this situation that we men face every day.

If men fall behind in wages, they are told to do better. But if women fall behind in wages, society needs to do better. Yet I hear women don’t date men who earn less than they do. However, I do have an idea on why women are earning more and it’s due to OnlyFans, social media influencing etc.

“‘No boys are born bad - they’re just born into chaos.”

BoabHonker · 2025-03-03T15:51:20+00:00

This has been true for a decade

tiredfromlife2019 · 2025-03-03T17:08:15+00:00

For the OP, expect it to get worse.

It will get worse as society wants to shovel as much money towards women as possible cause it thinks if women have money kids will come but this is just false.

The women will just want men that are even higher earning than them which is falling and falling in numbers.

Lobster556 · 2025-03-03T12:25:14+00:00

For the first time in the UK. Iirc there were already studies from other countries showing women in their 20s outearning men in their 20s.

jessi387 · 2025-03-03T16:04:36+00:00

What’s ironic is that it seems like I see so many articles or studies out of the UK specifically, that seem to at least in someway address men’s problems, but they are also one the most misandrist countries.

It’s like, are they not connecting the dots between their rhetoric, and the absolutely disenfranchised state of the males in their country?

Nearby_Appearance289 · 2025-03-03T17:41:14+00:00

Welp time to become women lads. On paper at least.

BradenAnderson · 2025-03-03T21:50:07+00:00

Feminists and society see gender equality as a zero sum game; any attention given to struggling men somehow hurts women. And since their entire religion is based on the myth that all men are privileged and all women aren’t, struggling men aren’t going to see their issues seriously addressed anytime soon. Unless we get past this neoliberal mcfeminist bastardization of feminism, our society will likely fall in the near future

janearcade · 2025-03-03T14:17:22+00:00

Why was there ever discrepency?

Pitsburg-787 · 2025-03-03T20:25:36+00:00

UK failing again. It's like they are making all the wrong things all the time.

LoudBlueberry444 · 2025-03-03T17:03:33+00:00

This has been the case for a while actually.

The last company I worked for was practically run by women, and I was unfortunate enough to hear from a direct report where 3 women in senior leadership were discussing how the patriarchy is keeping the wage gap in place and that women should do everything they can to rise up to make it a woman's world. My direct report was a woman and even she was disgusted by it.

The company kinda imploded though, which is nice.

RealStarkey · 2025-03-03T16:59:24+00:00

What us left over, make sure you spend some on her

Fair-Might-5473 · 2025-03-03T23:20:56+00:00

I'm quite excited to be honest. Make the gap bigger and you get even more hate towards yourself, because you promised everyone equality, yet can't deliver. With enough people starving, they're going to have to explain to people how people cannot sustain themselves, while coincidentally, they're living their dream life. This is progress to them, but they don't see the knot that they're tying that will inevitably hang them if it is not already hanging them.

BZP625 · 2025-03-04T05:04:40+00:00

Will this finally shut down the rhetoric? Probably not. Men going their own way... invest in yourself.

2025-03-04T08:10:52+00:00

Watch them start being like...there's no wage gap guysss

Women... am I right?

rabel111 · 2025-03-05T00:58:58+00:00

Men work longer hours in more dangerous jobs and get paid less. Bring on the revolution.

Sam__Toucan · 2025-03-04T10:45:39+00:00

The figures don't make sense though. More women at university but also earning more at ages 16 - 24 (while they are still at university?)

antifeminist3 · 2025-03-04T18:00:35+00:00

In Canada, a man's spousal support is counted as his income. If other countries also do this, then falsely attributing her income/benefits as his means the gap is even wider.

andersonpem · 2025-03-06T14:44:22+00:00

Check the data for onlyfans gains :P

Skr0ut · 2025-03-04T02:20:25+00:00

How does it seem like everyone is missing the "for the first time" part of this headline? It's not like it's a disastrous epidemic against men... The article literally shows graphs of men being paid more than women for years AND that men are more 'economically inactive' than women for the first time!

I'm all for helping men but lads, I don't think hating on women getting a little bit ahead in salary for the first time in a long time is an effective way to go about helping men. This post just seems like a poor attempt at polarizing men against women instead of addressing systemic issues like mental health.

Bogey_Yogi · 2025-03-03T18:42:30+00:00

Isn’t this because women are moving towards knowledge based jobs and men towards manual jobs? Knowledge based tend to pay more.
