tl;dr: the title

http://www.nature.com/news/why-women-earn-less-just-two-factors-explain-post-phd-pay-gap-1.19950

To the surprise of no one in the manosphere, it turns out that analyzing data of female careers in academia shows they fall behind not because they suffer actual discrimination, but because they a) prioritize family and b) pick fields that simply pay less.

Of course the article above turns this around into it being the fault of a system that isn't "family-friendly for women" (guess instead it's super family-friendly for men, who notoriously get to take time out of their careers to care for their kids without consequences). Regardless of the spin, the data doesn't lie: women are not discriminated against, they simply have less of a preference for professional success than men do, and thus don't achieve it as much.

An unmarried, childless woman earned — on average — the same annual salary after receiving her doctorate as a man with a PhD in the same field, the researchers found.

No shit Sherlock. When I signed my postdoc contract, I started at the bottom of the salary scale as established by the university for my position. A female friend sarted a similar postdoc a few months later, guess what salary she started at?

That uneducated people believe in the gender pay gap, I can understand. But that educated people believe in it, to me is a mark of their propensity at letting biases obscure their reasoning, aka scientists I do not want to work with

I am quoting this because more scientists need to let this sink in.

I suggest you go look at the r/Science subreddit post for this article (can't link directly because of brigading rules I suppose) - mods are on top of their shit and not letting trolls (from either side) get into the conversation.

The mod post at the top is really good, as are some of the top comments. The point of the study (linked directly by the mod, no paywall) does not point to a pay gap but rather an earnings gap. Women of similar demographic background and experience earn less than men, even if they're paid the same hourly rate for the same work.

This applies only to the scope of the study, which was Ph.D. earnings after graduation, and it looked at correlations between their dissertation topics and what industry they ended up in.

What were the actual conclusions of the study? That having children is correlated with lower earnings for women (but not for men) and the industries that women moved into were not as lucrative. It did not say that having children was the cause of lower earnings, or why there are more women in less lucrative industries, just that those correlations exist.

So the problem here is not the science, it's the pseudo-journalism that takes those conclusions and then goes out and shouts about how women with PhDs make 31% less than men and we need to do something about it. The Nature article is actually accurate in stating that earnings are less, but honestly people are going to interpret that snippet of an article however they want.

yes. there is more to success in life than intelligence. i believe that within a certain bound, both men and women are equally intelligent but the two do not have the same personalities. there are certainly more male geniuses but they're rare so let's leave them out. is there anything in life that women outdo men other than child rearing?

[–]squirtingispeeing1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy

I think you need to meet more women.

i don't have to. you on the other hand, should look at 10000 years worth of human history. if your excuse is, men didn't let women do anything then what does that tell you about men and women? lol.

[–]squirtingispeeing0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

For 10000 years of human history women had very little control over their reproductive choices and were usually too busy being pregnant and popping out babies. Birth control literally emancipated women and it's only been available for the last 50 years.

[–]Its_the_other_tj0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

Women tend to take lower paying jobs with more flexibility, less dangerous jobs,and tend to leave jobs more (thus having to start over from the bottom). Unless this is a sarcastic post in which /s is useful.

[–]squirtingispeeing0 points1 point  (2 children) | Copy

How is it not a problem that having children negatively affects a woman's earnings but not a man's? A woman shouldn't have to choose between her career and having children, especially since it isn't a choice men are forced to make.

[–]verify_account0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

Men and women are different. We're not equal. I can't have a baby. Women can't make as much money if they CHOSE to raise a child.

[–]squirtingispeeing-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy

Why can't men and women split child rearing 50/50? It's half his genetic material. Why is it only women whose careers suffer if they choose to have a family, not men's?

Qualified professionals in a field are qualified professionals in their respective fields. There is nothing to stop, say, a doctor from believing in communist economics, or a lawyer from being an anti-vaxxer.

nobody who is educated actually believes it. the women who pretend like it's true are the ones who are doing it to get special treatments for women in society. the men who pretend it's true are just garnering favor from them and are too afraid to speak out for fear of being reputation raped by radical feminists. i don't fucking need to look at data. i can see it every fucking day.

[–]TheBlackPhillipShow 235 points235 points [recovered] | Copy

I love to boil this one down to:

"Women don't work as hard"

That pretty much covers it. Softer jobs, fewer hours, 10 year maternity leave, etc. Women don't value hard work, and hard work pays better.

I have yet to hear a good rebuttal of that, and it helps to un-fuck the issue. Too many of these social issues have had the waters muddied and need some reductive language.

That's the fucking truth, taxes are way cheaper than a wife.

there were definitely some accounts that were for that, there was some article on how divorce attorneys for the 'super rich' wives were finding lost money

really makes you wonder though. when youve got the money to do whatever, why the fuck would you jeopardize so much of it?

and then you have retards like Elon Musk who got divorced, lost a bit. married a new girl, got divorced, lost a few million. REMARRIED her, got divorced again and now lost like a billion.

good job bro

He wasn't a retard. First marriage he got divorced and lost a bit. Second marriage he got divorced and lost a few million.

The man said to himself. Well divorce is not that bad. I don't understand what's the big fuss.

Boom... he lost a bilion.

I bet he is not going to gat married any time soon.

Yeah, I don't really have much respect for Mgtows, since I kinda see it as a cop out. Unless they're asexual then they have sexual urges that need to be satisfied somehow, so they've resigned themselves to a life of jacking off.

Still, it's better than being divorce raped.

there are levels to MTGOW. Spinning plates with no LTR is level 1 one strategy. The Red Pill suggests never getting married, recommends spinning plates. That is by definition MTGOW 1. Most MRA's are usually MTGOW 0.

[–]elevul0 points1 point  (2 children) | Copy

That blog post is very interesting, but as most of the rest of the MGTOW content it keeps ignoring the effect of automation, the same automation that will wipe off the face of the planet the jobs of everyone, men and women.

Big daddy government will soon have no reason to care of men go MGTOW, because they'll get the majority of their tax money from the companies employing robots/AIs.

Men might not need women (which is debatable, our sexual desire is overpowering), but very soon women won't need men at all either, and this time for real, not only as a statement from a over-eager feminist.

[–]razormachine-1 points0 points  (1 child) | Copy

Most of them behave like a bunch of kids who are retreating from society just to spite the woman. They will retreat to the caves and wait for that victorious moment when society crashes because they had left, and woman will drop on their knees admit they were wrong, beg for forgivnes, and an opportunity to make them an sandwich.

In reality, jobs get automated, nobody gives a fuck about them, man who do fuck woman get some extra pussy, some woman do not get married... they had destroyed themself for pretty much nothing.

Men might not need women (which is debatable, our sexual desire is overpowering), but very soon women won't need men at all either, and this time for real, not only as a statement from a over-eager feminist.

Well on a positive side. Sooner or later they will make an artificial womb. Maybe in a couple of generations straight man will go extinct, and 2-3 generations later woman will also go extinct. And in a weird twist of fate the world will be ruled by gay man.

[–]Veta3210 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

Do you think it's impossible to overcome sexuality? You know, like what's required of nearly every religious order across time?

It's not. MGTOW and find something more interesting than what comes out of your dick.

Lol, no I don't. Hence why priests end up being kiddy fiddlers.

but does that cause kiddy diddling, or do people who are kiddy diddlers choose that profession? No way of knowing for sure.

The latter surely. I went to Notre Dame, several of the guys planning to go into seminary were gay. The ones that weren't were virgins (probably future pedophiles).

Precisely. They are the ones who do the best choice in this situation, since society allows them to do so.

[–]beginner_1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

True. I will mention the Gervais Principle here. You either work hard and move up to top management and be a millionaire and call the shots or should stay a normal worker and optimize your work-life balance eg. work as little as possible for as much as possible. Dumbest move is middle management because you work you ass off like the top dogs but for much less and you have no power.

So yeah, you should never work too hard. In fact if you are too good, you can't be promoted away and promotions have more to do with your social skills and playing the game than your performance.

What would you rather have? 100k and 40 hrs week or 150k and 60 hrs week?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

the difference between a man and a woman is that men get nothing handed to them but they have control over their lives. women get less control but get everything handed to them. a woman only has to not look disgusting, not be too greedy and she'll be loved. it's not so easy for a man. there are tons of guys out there who don't even know how to approach a woman. they're never going to get laid and live miserable lives. a woman can just not look disgusting and stand around in public long enough and someone will come up to her.

[–]TheGatherHunter57 points58 points  (21 children) | Copy

The best rebuttal I've ever heard was the fact that jobs requiring more hours and less working from home tended to pay better was sexist.

And by best, I mean completely retarded.

I swear, every argument I've ever heard is either using fake statistics (women get more work done while they're there!), or an emotional argument with no logical merit (think of the children!)

[–]cariboo_j19 points20 points  (20 children) | Copy

I was debating with a feminist online (bad idea I know) she literally argued for communism.

"Oh women tend to choose jobs that generate less wealth and therefore pay less? The free market is sexist! We need government to decree that all jobs pay the same."

[–]The_DogeWhisperer11 points12 points  (1 child) | Copy

In for a penny in for a pound I suppose. Makes sense though, people without ambition love communism.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child) | Copy

I had an debate with the gals at the RA desk on wages. They think that ever person should get paid the same. No increases for quality, speed, production, tenure/loyalty. Nothing. So a 10 year employee with a production rate of 100 gets paid the same as a brand new employee that produces at 10. Any differences in pay could be the result of -ism and therefore all pay must be equal

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy

Why is this in any sense surprising. Feminism is the most influential form of Cultural Marxism, it grew directly out of it, so of course they would argue for the State to run everything and 'share' people's money (ie, give men's money to women). The early 2nd wavers directly quote Marx and Engels. Hell, the term 'patriarchy', as in Patriarchy Theory, was taken by Greer from a book by Freidrich Engels.

Why be a scientist when you get paid the same as dude who works at McDonalds who gets lost looking for the deep fryer?

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (11 children) | Copy

For the love of science maybe? I'm playing devil's advocate, but if they're doing whatever you're solely for the money, chances are they're not very good at it.

We know many men go into STEM for the money. I mean I'd love to just ride my motorcycle all day but a lifestyle needs to be paid for somehow.

[–]9000sins2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy

True. I guess a more accurate analogy would be a job with a high risk of physical harm.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Yes, much better analogy, however, I think those high risk jobs would be eliminated if everyone was paid the same regardless. They pay well mostly because your chances of getting fucked up are high, and the the people that are more desperate end up taking those jobs.

[–]razormachine0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

Why work at McDonalds if you can find an even easier job for the same pay.

Since the pay is the same, people would simply flock to the easiest jobs. 10 000 people would apply for a job at the car wash. The doctors position wouldn't get a single application.

[–]cariboo_j0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

To play devil's advocate I briefly worked at a cardboard mill. Got paid $25/hr just for bundling stacks of cardboard off the production line. The pay was really good for a job that required no training or skills but my god it was boring. Couldn't see myself doing that for the next 30 years. It actually motivated me to go back to school.

[–]razormachine0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Well cardboard job wasn't easy because it was boring. It's not easy to endure 8hr's a day of monotonuos job.

Maybe the pay was good because the job was boring?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Perhaps another way of thinking about it is, the people that took positions as a doctor really cared about medicine and provided great care rather than being concerned only with the money.

You comparing McDonalds to being a doctor is a bit of a poor example for the point you're trying to make.

Sidenote: Have you ever been asked the question, "if money were not object, what would you choose as a profession"? Most people choose the things their passionate about, not what is "easiest".

Edit: Nobody wants to wash cars all day. Realistically, those jobs that are so unappealing and just thrown to the disenfranchised would likely disappear. Most "service" positions would disappear except for the people that really sought them out. I'm not really sure that would be a bad thing.

The big problem when thinking about the society as it is now(if income was universal), is that it would close the class divide. Fewer people thinking their at a lower rung in society and fewer people feeling above the person wiping their wheels or serving them fast food.

[–]joh214112 points13 points  (16 children) | Copy

In respect to this I want to add there are women who are advancing in career. And they are single, no family, and can't maintain a relationship that long. I know plenty of them nearing their wall... and most of them probably will remain single without serious relationship... ever. They look alright. Women just want everything without the downside. They don't realize career success means you compromise in other areas and sacrifice things you want.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (2 children) | Copy

I think what you're describing is women being at odds with what they think, and what they feel. Since the two don't align in our society it inspires anger. Directing the anger inward is not realistic so they find a target, the patriarchy.

They also carry a fair bit of contempt when is comes to most men being at peace with what they think, and what they feel. Men for the most part have that pretty ironed out.

And I really don't think women are actively saying to themselves, "I want everything without the downside". I think more realistically, they don't even recognize there is a downside, until they experience it. That's why if you tell a feminist/woman, "you want all the positives and none of the negatives", they'll wholeheartedly disagree, because they actually believe themselves. Solipsism at it's finest. If it's not happening to me, it doesn't exist.

[–]joh21411 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

That's a great point I didn't see before but when you tell them what the downside is they don't listen to you. So it wasn't a matter of if they disagree a downside even exists. It is that they don't WANT to listen to it. Feminists that is. As you said if it doesn't happen to them it doesn't exist.

[–]OilyB0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

"Women being at odds with what they think and what they feel" - "directing the anger inward is not realistic so they find a target"

Very good points. Though I would disagree with the 'directing the anger inward is not realistic' part: a good portion of women do direct it inward - that's why there's so much of them on anti-depressants and why so much of them have eating disorders - it's frustration with everything that's outside their immediate influence. And we all know women in general have very low frustration tolerance.

[–]OilyB1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

"Women just want everything without the downside"

Boom - that's the line I was looking for!

[–]joh21410 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Yeah like for women they don't understand logic; they only understand the tingles.

IE. When the husband is working late YET AGAIN to secure a client/investor/whatever. Some women might but most women just think "WTF the spark is gone, our love is a sham, blah blah blah." Women are creatures who die without attention (only other thing with same description are babies). I heard this from women so many times it made me realize that all women are just bumbling bimbos seeking attention; they dont' care if that person is a serial killer or a rapist or a porn actor or a PIMP or a woman beater.

Another case example of that statement is when men get mugged/raped at night we're told "Should have walked with a buddy, should be able to protect yourself, you pussy." And you are told a list of things you should have done to prevented some threat. Whereas when a woman is told things to prevent mugging or rape, they call you out for being a sexist forgetting all about the muggers and rapists themselves and the person telling them what to do to prevent being a target is all of a sudden the worst human being even than those who commit those crimes. If you walk around dressed like a whore next to someone who's a rapist, chances are the rapist will attack you. Yes we ALL should have the right to walk about without fearing what will happen to us... but that isn't the world we live in. Women live in a fantasy world and can't accept logic or rationale. That's why they follow horoscopes and bullshit to guide their day. For men we have to go out there and SEIZE the day. Obtain our own happiness. Women don't. They don't want to put in the effort to make the day better for themselves, instead they rely on horoscopes or exterior forces to determine how their day went.

There are SOME smart women out there who do understand that men are getting the short end of the "gender equality" movement but again deep down they are still women. They are still full of the same hormones that drive the same bimbo who seeks attention like a child to act just the same way all guys are pigs and our penis does much of the thinking in terms of what we want for the night.

I know a post wall attorney who never married or had kids. She swears she's happy. But, I can see her sadness. Her career is emotionally draining due to the nature of the law she practices. It's almost as if her day to day contribution to society eliminated any space in her soul to have a family of her own. We've had a good bit of convos and she's one of the few women who have actually sacrificed for the better of society.

Funny thing is that I can tell that she used to be smoking hot... A smokin' hot chick with intelligence and selflessness. I think she is a post wall unicorn. She herself told me that she just never met any man that had enough integrity. It' SoCal so masculinity is at zero, and the field is full of Beta's. California literally neuters men from a young age. LOL. Glad I'm not a CA grown mangina. LOL. I'm from the South!

Kind of a sad story. I think I'm on my period. (Tear, Tear). LOL JK JK.

Women of another time. I swear we're only a few generations removed from a more bountiful supply of far better women than the present. Fucking missed the boat in the U.S. Other countries are still ready for cultivation though. That's my future plan. Brazil, Venezuel, or Argentina. Yep. ;)

Peace out American Sluts!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (7 children) | Copy

You will find that women are women no matter where you go, awalt. If you bring them back to the states or any modern country that has laws they can exploit and benefit, they got you. Usually when they go to a modern country, often times it changes them, for the worse. The only way I could see you retaining her, is if you moved to those countries. But again do you REALLY want to move to brazil, Venezuela, thailand? Last I heard from expats in china on here, those good women are a myth.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

What you are describing is the fluid state of a woman, dependent upon the vessel. Women conform to the environment they exist in. Which is interesting because of the way they are in this modern western society. My genuine thought is because we tolerate and allow them to be this way, or at least the majority of men do.

[–]I_Need_More_Space_-4 points-3 points  (5 children) | Copy

I don't plan to bring her here. Absolutely not. It will be more of a contract.

All children will require paternity tests. The family will stay in their home country. I'll leave for 6 months at a time to work and save $. Then I get to essentially have a vacation with them for 6 months when I return to them. She will in return for her loyalty get a monthly check to raise my kids and perform her duties with enthusiasm when I am there with them.

If she can't comply with the agreed upon terms, I bail. Simple. No lawyers needed. And I'm free.

She totally won't be banging random guys while you're gone 6 months of every year and your kids won't think you're a giant weirdo compared to everyone else's dad. You sound mad.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

If you look around at how men are being raped in court. All the female previlage there is, just saying she was raped and her pointing to a random dude, without evidence, the guy goes to jail? Male suicide at it's high, is this not mad? Are we not living in a "mad" world? The fact that (I need more space), has to think about a situation like this, has to actually think about it this way in order for him to be with a women, speaks volume of the situation we are in. It speaks volumes of how untrusting american women are, these "women" can't be trusted. You need to get real oceanracoon, male hamstering at its best!

This isn't the 1500th century anymore, this isn't 1940's anymore, women are not women anymore, this is our reality as it is now, this is the future, it might even get worse. We must adapt to our new reality, because our reality is not adapting to us, it is against us.

I think kids should ask: "why is daddy doing this?" "Mommy! Why is daddy doing this?"

I won't renounce my citizenship either.

I figure it will be like the hunter gatherer days when men would be gone on long hunts for a large portion of the year. I'll be gone makin' dough. They would get a better life and security. I pass my genes on. And if she's smart, she uses the $ I send her to buy a house for herself. When she withers with age, and the kids are grown. Then the contract expires. We go our separate ways. Win win for everyone. Life in the U.S. is not that great, so the kids won't be missing out on it. They would get a stable life, and an American role-model to learn from for 1/2 the year. How many traditional families in the U.S. can show that the children get quality time with parents when both parents work and let television raise the kids?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (1 child) | Copy

Those are good terms, i think they are solid. The only thing that I would be concerned with is the fact that if you want to have kids, they may be entitled to compensation seeing as some countries have laws that say, that the child is a citizen based upon the country of their parents regardless of were they are born. Your wife, girlfriend may try to file in behave of the child. Although something like that would take ALOT of money. Something she may not have. I think even if she files in her country for compensation, child support, it would pale in comparison to what you would pay in your original country. Pennys I would imagine. I think you might be onto something here! I'm not sure why someone down voted you, seems like a very good option!

[–]I_Need_More_Space_0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Yeah, I don't see an issue with it. This type of international arrangement is pretty much outside the courts as laws of one country don't cross into another. Does anyone believe that if a court in Argentina orders a certain amount of child support out of me that the U.S. govt is gonna throw me in jail if I don't comply? I doubt.

Again, the verbal agreement would be: She has my kids (proven by paternity test), I provide myself as a role model when I'm there (6 months/year), I provide monetary means for them to have a house, and she gets a pretty interesting, bad ass guy to bang for 6 months out of the year. Women don't really care for men too much as long as there financial needs are met. And her and I would never "get old." At some point, I begin to find all the peculiarities of a woman quite boring and even annoying as time goes on. We would avoid that by my not being there all the fucking time. And if I had boys they would be better off, because they would be spared the feminist programming that begins from youth here in the U.S.A. They would be spared the interaction of growing up with American sluts which are the worst kind of the globe. They hold that title, and they will be holding if for many years to come. They would probably thank me when they grew up and visited the U.S. as adult men.

And, I would be risking MUCH less than trying the traditional route here. FUCK THAT. Ain't gonna happen. I'm way too outside the box for that.

This was featured on r/science as well (which was honestly a gigantic and positive surprise to me) and someone made a pretty insightful comment that whenever you see this disparity discussed on the media or by the feminist regime, it's always a "gender PAY gap." As in a difference in how much men and women are paid- they're trying to deliver an underlying message that for the same job, hours, education, etc, women get the short end of the stick.

When in reality, what's really going on is a "gender EARNINGS gap." Women are earning less money than men because of their choices, despite programs like affirmative action desperately trying to reverse that.

[–]pilledwillingly1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

I've had this discussion numerous times.

Right from first employment, you see a splitting of the genders. McDonald's will put the dudes out the back and the girls on the register. Woolworths will put the dudes in the storeroom/trolleys, and the girls on cleaning/registers. That's fine. But you have to acknowledge that right from the start you're saying 'Males do this, females do that.'

As you get further along the part-time job scale, you see the same thing happening. Men do the driving, the deliveries, the 'outside' components, the lifting, etc and women get the sit down, the phone answering, the talking, the taking of money.

As you move out into the real world of full-time employment, you start being paid for what you bring to the company. The company needs 1 receptionist and 50 factory workers. The workers unionise, and push for better conditions. The men don't get paid more but the factory workers do, and by that point the 22 year old women who have never used a box cutter, driven a forklift, or packed a shelf don't want to start, and they dig their own graves.

You want to work in construction for equal pay, pick up concrete bags instead of phones. You want to succeed in academia? You need to push harder than the guy who is trying to leave manual labour behind him. If you're not the breadwinner, you're not as motivated as him because he likely is.

I agree, it's fine and makes sense because, well, pretty faces are better for PR and dealing wit customers. Just look at waitstaff, they'll all agree most girls get more in tips just for being girls. What gets me is when they complain about not making as much but they still want to do less work.

There is a reason you are using fossil fuels to change your climate. The climate of your personal dwelling it not natural.

A necessary economic drain - the economy doesn't run without more consumers being born.

It's not the CEO job that would create disparity in the median wage, it's the millions of welding, oil drilling, sewer inspecting, 80 hour a week sales jobs. Receptionists and 25 year old babysitters bring the female average down. Until women are beating down the doors of Waste Management for that extra $2/hr, there will be an aggregate pay gap.

I don't think the pay gap is an argument that will bare you any fruit especially with a woman indoctrinated into the ideology that promotes the pay gap argument. I would honestly just dismiss it and don't engage.

A little side note. If we look at the arguments put forth by both men and women(for these types of issues) we see they are in competition with each other and generally hostile, on both sides.

They way any government can control a population is by dividing their interests. If you make one side feel disenfranchised, and a logical fallacy is the main argument, when the main argument is flawed, there will never be a resolution. Same is true for abortion, gun laws etc...

By putting the members of a population at odds with everyone else in the population, you remove the solidarity of the populous, thus decreasing their power in a "democracy".

We might be better off thinking about why we're arguing, rather than what we're arguing about.

If you normalize for the ability to get your shit done and deliver results, the wage gap magically disappears.

It would be In the best interest of a company to keep and promote someone who delivers results, regardless of gender. If Sally delivers results and still is paid less, she needs to grow some "balls" and ask for a raise. Which brings me to another theory I have: women are less likely to ask for a raise and that is another reason for the age gap

So many women at my dental school are already marrying other dental students. Ask any man about what his plans are after dental school and the response will be something on the lines of "start my own practice" or work 5-6 days a week to aggressively pay down student debt so they can eventually do so. If you ask the women, they are turned off by the idea of opening their own practice and they entered the field "for the flexible schedule". Their plans are one of 2 things: either enter an orthodontic residency so they really don't have to work that much, or work as a general dentist 3 days a week at some shitty dental chain like Aspen. The gender pay gap in dentistry is probably huge due to this reason.

The banks pay the government, not the working class that provides the money. If the government then adjusted taxes and benefits for the people that fund those bailouts then you might have a case, but that doesn't happen. The money doesn't go back into the pockets of the people that payed for the bailout.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy

You're putting a whole lot of faith in the government.

The "government" put the same people that caused the financial crisis in charge of fixing it. That's not a great exhibit of fiscal responsibility or common sense. I can assume you don't/never have worked in government if you think the government spends money properly.

I'm not going to outline where the money goes for you. With a little reading you can easily conclude that for yourself, but its not put back into the pockets of the people that were forced to pay for the financial crisis.

Money that goes into police and other civic benefits is not related to the money the "working class" coughed up for the bank bailouts. We would have had those benefits anyways.

It's not the nice little cycle you think it is.

Edit: The working class didn't get more/better police/medical benefits/infrastructure by bailing those banks out.

[–]I_Need_More_Space_2 points3 points  (3 children) | Copy

Most governments are blended with socialism. The U.S. is included. Socialism appeals to women who consequently influence men who consequently form a majority in favor of socialist programs. The weak out number the strong, so they vote for their interests.

It's really just the evolution of weaker genes finding a way to propagate over the stronger genes. The evolutionary peak of man is in the past, and only the downhill slide of a weaker species will come to pass. The top tier of the world wants this, so they can remove themselves from the rest of the world, and live in a perfect existence of wealth and power. The "god-class" will be created while the rest of humanity slides down the evolutionary totem pole. It will eventually be the end of man.

Good! As you should. If she signed a contract knowing that she would be expected to stay until a certain time every day (or that she's getting into a time-intensive field with odd hours), and realizes that she wants to be home with her children in the afternoons, she owes it to the firm to sit them down and either talk about the possibility of part-time, or quit. If you allow yourself to accept the benefits of a full-time staffer without actually working full time, your conscience isn't working and may be infected with a sense of entitlement.

Half-assing a previously promising career to be home with your children for a few extra hours a day is NOT "having it all." It's disrespectful to colleagues, and your kids can smell your stress on you. A person with a law or medical degree should be able to afford childcare or a live-in nanny anyway (if you're thinking ahead, have a steady stream of au pairs so the kids can grow up multilingual). Having children is a decision, and watching people bitch about how hard it is to balance a career and children has me like

And, none of those highly-educated-turned-housewife women think about how they're royally screwing over the few women who may actually be fully dedicated to their careers, because if you're of typical childbearing age; HR would not be wrong to think that you're going to get expensive training, get pregnant, try to "make it work" with a newborn and a full-time job, and subsequently flake. [Edit to add that the aforementioned women, with one foot in a high-heeled pump and the other in a house slipper, probably congratulate themselves on paving the way for younger women.]

This annoys me on principle. That the limited space and resources required to train a medical doctor are squandered on useless bitches that don't utilize it to the full extent as their male colleges, to the detriment of us all.

If it was some bullshit degree in Greek history I would care less (preferably as long as I, the taxpayer, aren't footing the bill, but that notwithstanding) as long as the right people were being given the right chances to make the most of the right opportunities.

IIRC the NHS (British medical service) are facing staffing shortages because the female doctors aren't pulling their weight.

Hardly a surprise to the initiated.

Females aren't at work -including academia- to earn money. They're at work for access to high value males.

Money? That's what GUYS are for silly!

The mission statements of why a man and a woman goes to work are totally different .Women CAN advance in a firm by earning their stripes, but it's tactically better if they merely find a powerful guy and get HiM to do the work for her.

As such, women don't have an incentive to chase high salary and high stress jobs. A woman who gets the CEO to be her OneItis despite never graduating college has more power then the chick with the rubber stamped STEM degree working overtime for the big salary.

Besides- a females entire purpose is to have kids. Kids not only cost money, they require time to raise. Women don't want to work -they want to punch out the best kids they can and raise them. The office and college is merely a social sorting table where she can pick and choose suitable mates before cashing out for the luxury SUV and two dot five kids-the latter totally paid for by Mr Betabux.

Topping the salary chart isn't even the point.

This actually proves that women are overpaid. Dr. Warren Farrell identifies 25 choices that women make which provide lower income but a higher quality of life. There are likely more.

This is a case where, while it may sound cliche or even ridiculous, you cannot help women without helping men.

Weinberg says that the data cannot identify or tease apart factors that might explain why married women with children earn less — among the possibilities, whether employers assign different responsibilities and salaries to these women, or whether the women spend less time or energy on their careers.

The study is from the american economic review, the article is from frickin nature. Do you know the level of intelligence and dedication to the scientific method you need to publish in these?! Well apparently just under the amount of intelligence it takes to realise that taking care of young kids and having an academic career are both activities which take the majority of your time awake, and thus are not really compatible. Bunch of idiots..

Tsk, this lie has been debunked so many times.

Yet, all this will get set back as soon as another woman get seemingly unjustified treatment.

Feminist on set on changing the current power structure. They are not going to let something petty like stats to Menxplaing the reality

This has already been studied and dismissed for quite some time. His Excellency, Thomas Sowell.

As much as i dislike anecdotal evidence, in the lab im at now we've dealt with a mind boggling amount of maternity leaves and continue to. Half have resulted in them leaving-- Years of experience, education and training vanish with them. But that gap in payment for them and loss of getting raises should they decide to enter the workforce in the future skews the overall female "income" lower.

Furthermore, my experiences make it difficult to see how women in general think there is such severe discrimination against them. I work in chemistry and microbiology labs. Between ones ive interviewed for and ones i've worked in, not one had more men than women. Since ive been in my current one, there have been 8 women hired and 3 men including me. Ive come in second place for a handful of higher paying positions to a female candidate with equivalent resumes. This is all in spite of the risks i mentioned above, i.e., long term or permanent absences, and the loss of experience and training invested. I have a few examples of females being hired before or over male candidates despite lack of experience and education but i already have a small novella here.

TL;DR Seems in my field, employers fall all overthemselves to get a female candidate the job in the first place.

If a chick wants a family friendly lifestyle, she can enroll in welfare or better yet, marry the father of her child and have him support the family instead.

Not surprising, show me a woman who complains about the "pay gap" and I'll show you someone who probably works a no skill job or a low wage job and expects that she should earn as much as a man like myself supporting critical infrastructure for a $250M company.

Was engaged to a teacher; her and three of her teacher friends were sitting around talking, so I asked why they chose teaching. All of them agreed: for the short hours and summers off. All of them said they arrived 15 minutes before class began and booked out no later than 15 minutes after the final bell. When I asked "what about all the work you take home with you" they had a good laugh and told me they did all their grading and other work during study halls. None of them had families to take care of.

It ain't about their fucking families; it's all about them.

When these studies talk about how much money women 'earn' they take a very narrow definition of 'earn'. The first part is just the academic fields that women prefer, and the sort of jobs they take (ie, generally the easier ones in both cases). Fair enough, they earn less due to their choice of subject/job. This is their own shitty choices.

The second part is where women give up 'earning' money because they get married in order to have children. This is not blameworthy, having children is what they are supposed to do, and what society relies on if it is to survive. But staying alive, having a house, clothes, food for her and the children, these things cost money. Who is paying the money? This is the crucial point. Because she is not earning a salary the statistics make it out that women are hereby disadvantaged in this situation and men advantaged. But in fact, it is men who pay them to do this, who support them financially while they are not working by paying them out of their (the men's) wages. This is money that is counted as being for the man, but is actually for the woman.

Again, that second part is not something that I would 'blame' women for (unlike the first part), but it is something that grossly distorts these statistics and studies, giving a picture that is actually a lie.

It reminds me of a job I had where there was this female employee. She was doing my same job description.

She always left early, lied on her time cards, and complained that men on her same pay scale got more money. They worked overtime. She refused to. They worked the graveyard shift. She refused to.

Before they laid her off, she was bitterly complaining about her commute and how long it took. Right to my face. And I commuted three times the distance.

[–]icepickjones3 points4 points  (3 children) | Copy

I can tell you similar stories about shitty male coworkers I've had - at every level. Just saying, this is a specious anecdotal line of thinking.

[–]Albacorewing1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

Anecdotal? Yes.

Consistent? Yes.

I have seen this sort of thing much more often with women than with men. It happens with men too, definitely. But as someone pointed out on this thread, women just do not work as hard. In my life, for instance, I have hardly ever seen one do much overtime. And when they do, never as much as men do.

For the individual man, such as myself, personal experience counts much more than someone yelling statistics.

Dude don't even bother with these retards. Theres so many of these BP people that comment on my shit that I don't waste my breath responding to them.

We both know damn well if it was a dude they'd be fired in an instant or within due time for LYING on time cards. From the sounds of things this was quite a long due process for a woman.

Don't be surprised at those who ignore facts that are presented in front of their faces. Welcome it because it shows you who to ignore.

I'm a liberal's liberal, but I've never understood why my peers believe in the wage gap. It's taken as fact. Conversation usually goes like this.

"X study said women make %% less than men."

"That study did very basic math and divided the earnings of men and women by the number of men and women without accounting for variables that influence pay."

"That's true, but even when you account for things like position and education women are still paid significantly less."

"Source?"

[–]user_7at4 points5 points  (2 children) | Copy

I once had an economic professor use classical theory to answer the wage gap question. That if women were producing the same results as men yet being paid less, the workforce would be predominately women because the labor is cheaper for the same output. Therefore they pay men more for their stability and commitment.

Color me drum roll not shocked. Funny how widespread this information has gotten but only the hard-headed, intellectually challenged, and mentally challenged, i.e. mainly 3rd-wave feminists and SJW's, can't seem to wrap their mind around this simple, study-proven fact.

[–]SecularNotLiberal1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

This supports what I've felt all along. Women with children are going to earn less but not women without children. This makes a good case against breeding.

I feel sorry for the academics who published this, their careers are now shot.

Best line to come out of that thread.

"The pay gap is actually an earnings gap"

I'm going to refer to it as such from now on.

[–]i_know_i_am_right1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

I think women who prioritize their man and his children are good wives and mothers. Plus being less career oriented they let their male co-workers to have less competition. So I don't see how exactly it is a bad thing for men lol

[–]Il1282 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy

They don't fall behind at all. They gain via future child support and alimony payments.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children) | Copy

They don't fall behind at all.

I said in their careers, not their lives.

[–]bisjac0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Well its easy to choose family when the man has no choice but pay for it all.

[–]nuesuh0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Being a mom and wife is for "low status women". Mothers and wifes aren't getting the respect they deserve anymore...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

i was surprised an article like this could appear in nature then i read that they turned it around and blame society once again. lol. when the fuck are women going to take responsibility for their actions? if women would fuck men who are losers, then men wouldnt worry so much about being losers. so if they want that family friendly society for women, then start fucking losers you stupid fucking bitches. you don't have to get wet, just take responsibility for it and stop crying. you can pretend to like those men.

this article is yet another example of how much in denial women are. everyone is racking their fucking brains trying to come up with a reason why women are losing to men instead of accepting an answer staring at them in the face. it's everything under the sun EXCEPT that women are born inferior to men. women are less ambitious, less able to endure hardship and less creative. you don't have to take my word for it. there is 10000 years worth of human history's worth of proof.

[–]no_face0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Game theory wouldn't allow a gender pay gap. If a woman could be paid less than an equivalent male candidate, women would be hired by preference, which would lead to the demand for women to increase which would close the pay gap.

[–]Ragnarr_ck0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

Maybe asking a dumb question, but the wage gap isn't compared between men and women in the same job?

[–]csqr0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

As an immigrant working in academia (US) I've seen this first hand over the last few years. There's almost a suicidal (financially) trend amongst women to choose soft humanities subjects in graduate school. People like me making 6 figures teaching more practical subjects (finance) are looked as usurpers. My diagnosis: we have too many left-wing/ feminist professors who chose worthless subjects they were "passionate" about. Instead of acknowledging the limited market value of these subjects to prospective students, they double down on the patriarchy & discrimination explanations when recruiting fresh graduate students. Women simply fall for these explanations more than guys.
