I've been thinking a lot about this recently, as I've been on sick leave from work. Whenever I visit a store during working hours, there's women everywhere. They work less than men and consume more. Men pay more taxes, and women receive more money in government payouts. Everywhere I look in society there seems to be a transfer of wealth from men to women; from their prolonged retirement payouts due to living longer, all the way to being pampered during dating, free drinks, and the massive OnlyFans industry. I live in a country with universal healthcare, and that is also universally used more by women. A recent study in my country found that women in general are a deficit to state finances, while men contribute to it. Sure, some of it is due to maternity leave, and women do probably spend more money on kids. But on the whole, men work more, earn more, do more dangerous work, break their backs, so they can give their money to women in direct and indirect ways. This is never considered in pay gap literature.
