Men should work less to close gender paygap

Troubleshooter11 · 2018-05-13T11:23:06+00:00

Can't. I got bills to pay.

toyz-z · 2018-05-13T12:38:30+00:00

does that mean they're finally figuring out why the pay gap even exists

NecroHexr · 2018-05-13T12:35:49+00:00

The title may have been phrased stupidly, but one good thing is that they're pushing for paternity leave according to the article.

Still, what the fuck.

"You're doing better than me! Stop working so hard so I can catch up 3: "

karatdem · 2018-05-13T11:31:29+00:00

What planet do these people live on?

Do you get paid to propose these nonsense? How do I join? I have a lot of stupid ideas.

jonnytechno · 2018-05-13T12:07:14+00:00

Feminism keeps doing this and it's a result of their own actions... By favouring women in terms of (maternity) time off they made women less appealing as workers... Had it been a truly equal arrangement with adequate paternity leave then we wouldn't have any preference for sex of workers because all would have likely had children at some point and nearly all staff take days off owed to then in one form or another.

jeff_the_nurse · 2018-05-13T13:32:04+00:00

Or women could work more and take fewer part-time jobs and we could give men the same parental leave benefits (paid or unpaid) that we afford to women...

Ferenzy- · 2018-05-13T13:35:20+00:00

Wait, wasn't the pay gap caused by sexism? Now they're acknowledging that men earn more because they work more.

Just when I thought all hope was lost :D

vhisic · 2018-05-13T13:47:27+00:00

Im sure my wife and my boss will agree wholeheartedly for about 5 minutes before we need more money and none of the work is being done.

Halafax · 2018-05-13T13:14:34+00:00

Perhaps if women were more willing to "marry down" financially?

But they aren't.

jaheiner · 2018-05-13T14:00:07+00:00

So their "fix" for our world is that half the population should stop trying as hard to succeed? It always amazes me how these assholes contradict themselves. Women are just as good as men! -but they need dual standards and men to stop trying as hard in order to compete with them!

toysjoe · 2018-05-13T13:50:28+00:00

Let's also reduce the homeless and unemployment rate by killing the homeless and unemployed.

T4mvv1lc0xx · 2018-05-13T14:21:41+00:00

When we work less and inevitably earn less the same women will call us unattractive for relationships

HeinrichLK · 2018-05-13T14:13:59+00:00

I'm a teacher. Do they really want me to work less? Cause god knows I want to.

theothermod · 2018-05-13T12:33:12+00:00

Everyone should just work as much as they need to cover their costs and desires.

mkrmec · 2018-05-13T12:15:39+00:00

No... Women should work more or get paid less, as it is now.

Hillary_For_Prison · 2018-05-13T13:40:40+00:00

Why is feminism's solution always that men have to change or do something? Oh wait, that's right. Patriarchy theory is the idea that literally everything is men's fault and therefore we have an obligation to change.

sycophantasy · 2018-05-13T17:41:55+00:00

Wait, isn’t that conceding that the gender pay gap exists because men work more than women?

IDeliverToPMME_Users · 2018-05-13T11:21:10+00:00

IPPR's slogan is "the progressive policy think tank"

in other words, it's shit

Guardian_Soul · 2018-05-13T14:45:28+00:00

The water in that "thinktank" needs to be changed out, it's gotten stagnant

Male_Positive · 2018-05-13T13:28:35+00:00

Close the 'gender pay gap' by donating more to Activist Men's Groups. All that earning power should be put to good use. Also, put Men's Groups in your Will.

SirisPhantom · 2018-05-13T14:19:01+00:00

Lmao. Right. Well at least they can admit that the "pay gap" only exists because men work more than women on average by a lot. Their solution is basically "lets all have less money". World doesnt work like that.

kruxeldivik · 2018-05-13T17:41:33+00:00

I mean, what other possible solution is there?

AirplaneNote · 2018-05-14T07:43:05+00:00

Pfft, so stupid. How will they save for retirement then?

coffeeinvenice · 2018-05-14T13:07:07+00:00

This makes absolutely no sense at all.

If men are making more money than women because they are working more, it means that women can make just as much as men by working just as much as men do. It means the only barrier to women earning equal salaries is how many hours they choose to work.

Telling men they should work less to close the gender gap is like saying that men arrive at their destinations faster than women because men drive faster (while remaining under the speed limit). Therefore, men should drive slower so that women arrive at their destinations at approximately the same time as men.

The Guardian are idiots.

Pastullio · 2018-05-13T14:19:41+00:00

So is this an admittance that women, in general, work less?

(Didn't read article. Basing my statement purely from the title.)

dont__panic · 2018-05-13T17:27:14+00:00

Or women can stop bein whiney bitches, stop getting shit rag liberal arts degrees that hold zero fucking value in society, go out get real jobs that expose them to the same dangers that men face. We could end financial slavery (child support), and force them to work those same hours that men are forced into an then maybe, just maybe the myth of a pay gap could be put to rest finally.

laaerpig · 2018-05-13T19:44:40+00:00

Isn’t this an admission that the pay gap is caused by men working more?

BikePike · 2018-05-13T14:47:41+00:00

Even after touching on gender pay gap multiple times during my degree, I'm still not sure if I understand it.

What I think the overarching question is; do we accept what is rational vs do we create a world where everything on the highest level of analysis is equal (i.e. all women in x country combined earn the same as all men in x country combined).

In my studies, lecturers have almost entirely said that this is a major issue, even though they have said that on average, women work less, women are less likely aspire to have a career in middle/upper management and women frequently take long career breaks.

To me, the rational thing is, if you don't want to work long hours, you want less responsibility at work, and you want to take long career breaks, all of these things result in lower pay. Businesses don't pay for you to not work in their interests. At the same time, men in part time jobs get paid far less than women do (I would hypothesise that perhaps high performance/skill women disproportionately work part-time compared to equal performance/skilled men, and thus high performance/skill men disproportionately work full-time jobs).

Of course equal-pay for the same job is completely rational and would be completely wrong if that was not the case.

If as a society we deem that women should work more, men less; men should be less career focused and women should be more; etc. Then I think that's a possible argument, but the narrative appears to be that it's men's fault that women make these choices, and any benefits men get over women should not exist, but at the same time benefits women get are not deserved by men.

I don't like that the narrative is so strong (extreme even); is generally accepted by the majority of society and that have no representation in this at all. It feels like we just ignore it, stay resilient and keep pushing on with providing for a family.

I would be interested in anyone's similar or contrasting opinions and could look for some of these studies in 3 weeks time if anyone is interested (after my final exams.)

Totally-not-a-scam · 2018-05-13T15:08:58+00:00

So the GPG exists because men work more than women? Basically what has been said over and over for god knows how many times?

Good to know

Asshole_Engineer · 2018-05-13T14:21:45+00:00

My boss would probably fire me if I didn't meet deadlines.

Claireah · 2018-05-13T14:31:59+00:00

But how will the women make money if the men don't work?

Lranki709 · 2018-05-13T14:47:26+00:00

We should start posting these posts on r/feminism.

reaper_2 · 2018-05-13T14:55:27+00:00

I have no problem with this.

I’d still get paid the same as I do now, right?

No?

Reddit1990 · 2018-05-13T17:28:40+00:00

Do these people just not have children and exert zero effort to understand how much children cost? Working part time and taking unpaid parental leave is great, sure, but how ze fak are you supposed to support the family? If the wife is willing and able, great, but that's typically not the case. The solution is to have women be more productive and work harder, not have men work less and let the family suffer for it.

americandreams100 · 2018-05-13T14:10:24+00:00

Think tanks are not the smartest people apparently.

WarBanjo · 2018-05-13T14:39:21+00:00

Just wait, 10 min after men decide to work less, the articles and complaints about lazy masculinity and men's unwillingness to provide for their families.

Maybe if 40 percent of my check didn't go to my ex so she can piss it away on things that are not my kids I could afford to...

oafsalot · 2018-05-13T15:32:41+00:00

Pretty much admitting here that women get less because they work less.

kevinrogers94 · 2018-05-13T19:15:09+00:00

And if men don't work they're useless deadbeats. #WinWin

Dissentient · 2018-05-13T19:35:35+00:00

I'd gladly work half the hours for half my current salary, but it doesn't seem like employers in my field want part-timers.

Mild111 · 2018-05-13T19:43:35+00:00

But then women wouldn't be able to spend our paychecks

dolandoes · 2018-05-13T19:59:25+00:00

Hell yeah, lol.

gamesoverlosers · 2018-05-13T20:03:33+00:00

You know what, frankly, sign me the fuck up please. I've been begging my employer to cut my hours for months.

But oh wait the office ladies need more time off, guess I gotta deal with being scheduled more hours to cover their needs.

JamesGollinger · 2018-05-13T20:48:11+00:00

I am 100% ready to stay home and raise kids. I'm just waiting on finding a woman who will go out and work/beg/whatever-needs-doing in order to financially support me and my kids. Until then, off to work I go.

vatreehugger · 2018-05-13T21:18:44+00:00

I mean, I kinda agree. It's just a sad indicator of our social values that this is primarily seen as "men should work less so that women can make more money" rather then "women should work more so that fathers can finally spend more time with their children."

Luchadorgreen · 2018-05-14T02:02:22+00:00

So they want men to be less desirable to women. Typical.

thotimusprime70 · 2018-05-14T02:49:34+00:00

The pay gap is a fucking myth. Who ever believes it is a dumb thot who doesn’t belong on this sub. The only reason the women make less annual income is due to social obligations such as maternal leave, and because statistically women choose to work lower paying jobs. I have an entire 6 page essay if anyone wants it

BruceCampbell123 · 2018-05-14T02:57:06+00:00

More proof that nothing good ever comes from a thinktank. They're vacuums where reality ceases to exist.

“Women should work more to close the gender pay gap”

fengpi · 2018-05-14T05:36:37+00:00

Hypothetical Situation: I own a business with several employees, including a full-time machinist who has worked under me for 10 years and has a good track record. Due to an increase in orders, I need to hire a new machinist. She is female.

Question: Do I need to pay this newbie the same as the man who has been working for me for 10 years? If so, what reason can there possibly be for that? I mean, I certainly don't want to be accused of pay-discriminating against anybody on the basis of their sex for people who are "doing the same work", yes?

tobaccostains · 2018-05-14T05:55:05+00:00

Apellosine · 2018-05-14T08:04:30+00:00

So they've given up on saying that men get paid more for the same work and just complaining that men work too hard?

IShouldNotTalk · 2018-05-13T14:26:08+00:00

It's a funny way to say that a woman's individual lifestyle choices are the cause of any difference in pay and not the boogeyman of systemic "patriarchy".

fogoticus · 2018-05-13T15:27:22+00:00

So I should risk my own future because women (well, some) don't want to work or do a bad job @ working?

BlackHole94 · 2018-05-13T15:32:27+00:00

Women are so strong and independent that in order to be successful, men must deliberately weaken themselves and help women succeed relatively.

You’d think in 2018 sexism against women would stop. But feminism hurts both women and men.

Lallo-the-Long · 2018-05-13T15:33:10+00:00

Why did you not just fucking link to the article? What is wrong with this sub? Why does every post have to be a memed up screenshot of a news article?

nazadus · 2018-05-13T15:36:05+00:00

Here's the problem, as far as I can tell. Women are expected to look pretty -- thus makeup, uncomfortable shoes, etc. They can change that *easily* at any given moment. Men, on the other hand, are expected to be successful and unrelenting. This isn't that patriarchy -- this is society as a whole. You can't just change success on a dime.

You don't get successful as easily as you can change some clothes or get cosmetic surgery.

And until women change their attitude about that -- don't expect things to change. I don't disagree that we, as a society, should work less -- but not because of the gender paygap because of the addiction we have to work or the phobia of being fired because you don't do anything and everything your boss says.

Once I started managing my manager -- my life got infinitely easier. He, however, was VERY pissed but what's he gonna do? Fire me? His only employee who understood most of the systems, showed up on time, and had a clue? Ok. I dared him. He backed down. I refuse to let the Curse of the Competent be applied to me, I will not "suck it up" for the team. Others, women included, need to do the same. For women they need to request more hours if they want more money -- but you have to speak up about it. People can't read minds.

The point of paternal leave from work does not, and never has had anything to do with helping men or fathers.

It has always been about what that can do for women and mothers.

Innomen · 2018-05-13T16:33:31+00:00

Actually I agree. We all got conned into trading free time for productivity. That's actually pretty stupid considering the demand for one is always bottomless and the supply of the other is always finite. #BasicIncome Now.

Yes, exactly, anyone who's done any reading on men's rights should realize this is exactly what men's rights is about. Even the controversial stuff, like Jordan Peterson or the Google Memo. This is the correct response to pay gap rhetoric.

Gantzz25 · 2018-05-13T19:09:52+00:00

Are feminists finally admitting that men earn more because they work more?

spaghetti335 · 2018-05-13T19:10:26+00:00

Solutions this article proposes (and my responses):

1) Rule out negotiation

Employers are incentivized to pay their employees as little as they can get away with. This would be a bad change for employees as a whole.

2) Employers should automatically consider promotion

They already do.

3) Consider more women for internal promotions

They should promote the best person for the job, regardless of gender. Even if they demonstrated a bias against women, instituting a second bias in their favour would be irresponsible. Perhaps adding a blind/algorithmic method could work?
Men tend to be better at negotiation. I wonder how this plays into pushing for promotions, or perhaps leveraging external offers for internal promotions.

4) Advertise that salaries are negotiable, and allow a colleague to negotiate on one's behalf

It's usually quite clear that salaries are negotiable, and when it's not, it's the ones who are good at negotiating who will find out. Telling someone meek (like myself) that a salary is flexible isn't going to help much.

Having a second party negotiate salary for you doesn't feel like a good idea, but I don't have a good counterargument.

5) Match salary offer to make sure all equal-level employees earn the same as new recruits.

I don't disagree with this in principle, but if negotiation is to be allowed, what you're saying is "Employees should be paid as well as the best-negotiating person." Employers in response will just stop negotiating, and we're back to point 1.

6) Offer 'use it or lose it' paternity leave

I agree with this whole-heartedly. Let's give everyone parental leave.

OliverBludsport · 2018-05-13T19:12:30+00:00

Y'all get that OpEd pieces like this aim to cook somebodies grits right? You can't just go around picking up all the stupid mass market shit you see, and act like it's corroborating your biases. It's meant to incite. Commercialist journalism is an indiscriminately destructive force like that. Which is why it's so vital we stop taking it's bullshit as accurately representative of the public. I mean how many more suburbanites need to buy small armories in their zero crime neighborhoods before we get wise to the business's that incite that shit for profit? Stop being reliably angry. Just fucking cut it out. Everyone. You're being exploited.

randezvouswithrama · 2018-05-13T19:31:00+00:00

Educated folks should work more stupid to close the education pay gap. Hey, this is brilliant! Astronauts should work as farmers to close the wage gap between astronauts and farmers.

Arrow218 · 2018-05-13T19:41:47+00:00

I actually think you can spin this to being pro-men. America's work culture insists that any man not working 50+ hours a week is a lazy waste of life. We are expected to work ourselves to the bone to be successful, but letting someone else do that while you settle down is perfectly okay for girls.

lister777 · 2018-05-13T19:47:44+00:00

Yeah, fire all men. Practically this js what they do

cbagainststupidity · 2018-05-13T20:56:04+00:00

Hmmm, sure but... why? What's even the point of that kind of equality? There's none, even from a feminist point of view.

Will it elevate women? No, they still have the same salary.

Will women live better life? No, chance are their menage just got poorer.

Will it allow women to work less hours at work? No, somebody will have to make up for that lost income in the couple. Bye, bye, part time job, now it's gonna be 40 hours a week, my dear.

No wonder people call feminism social communism. How to fix inequality between class/gender? Make everybody dirt poor! Problem fixed!

Charmingaxelotl · 2018-05-13T21:54:26+00:00

So they admit there’s no pay gap and it’s because women work less.

KingRobotPrince · 2018-05-13T22:10:13+00:00

If the guy is working full time, and he has to work less so the woman can work part-time more, that means less money for the man in the long run.

Sure the woman might get a bit more money, but the negative effect on what is presumably the main bread winner must be more so it's a net loss on their income.

I don't think they have really thought this through.

runswithbufflo · 2018-05-13T22:12:05+00:00

Yes! And the immigrants need to stop taking our jobs! ...wait...no

KingRobotPrince · 2018-05-13T22:17:27+00:00

If the wage gap is natural and isn't caused by sexism, why do we need to worry about it?

Why not let each individual couple decide what is best for themselves?

Flatlandcavalry · 2018-05-13T22:20:15+00:00

So they acknowledge it’s not about gender it’s about the amount of time your put in, which means they acknowledge the gender pay gap is a goddamn flat out lie

Why is this "gap" so important to them? Why does total parity need to be a thing? Will they say the same things if women start earning more then men?

The-Prim-Reaper · 2018-05-14T03:05:42+00:00

Hey I've got a really neat idea. It's called feck off.

How about, if you want to make more than men, you stop demanding that men suck more to match your level and get off your own arse and go work one of those harder jobs that actually pays more.

No? You'd rather complain about it? Okay.

Whoa whoa whoa...

They're changing tactics again.

Looks like they finally realized the truth about the wage gap is too prevalent, that it comes down to individual choices.

So, in grand feminist fashion they're moving the goal posts and now its not a matter of them choosing not to work as much, it's that damn patriarchy keeping them from being able to!

Oy. Strap in guys. Two steps forward, one back.

XenoX101 · 2018-05-14T07:01:13+00:00

Or you know, women could work the same amount as men if they want to earn the same amount. Or how about they work as much as they want under the obvious knowledge that if they work less they get paid less? Why do they have to work the same amount? This goes to the heart of the issue, they assume equal distributions are better than unequal ones without providing any evidence for it. In fact most forms of art suggest the opposite, that we are attracted to asymmetry and uneven juxtapositions. Men are typically taller and stronger than women, and if they aren't there is a high likelihood they are malnourished. They also wouldn't be able to help women in times of need. Equality in itself has no moral value, in that unequal states are sometimes more desirable.

filthgrinder · 2018-05-14T07:03:05+00:00

Sure, once the women stop shopping so damn much spending our money.

Reminds me of someone who got told they were greedy because they took all the hard and well paying shifts.

Like, wha? Nothing to do with greed; some people need the money. And men often do more so to pay for their wives.

Doesn't the west have enough problems already? With men earning less and less, and women forced to become sole/primary breadwinners more and more, even less families will be formed, these will be less stable, even less children will be born than today, fatherlessness will continue to grow with all its side effects (like youth criminality and increased suicide risk), and women will become even more miserable with the increasing responsibilities they will have to carry.

TheBames · 2018-05-13T14:17:30+00:00

If I'll get paid the same then , "oh please, don't, stop, not that...."

I'm pretty sure the gov pays farmers and dairy ranches not to overproduce.

PeonSupreme · 2018-05-13T15:30:29+00:00

My sister actually said that once. Meanwhile, she never misses a chance to tell me how lazy I am.

brickstick · 2018-05-13T15:32:48+00:00

Wouldn't this be great though? Like I don't want to work more and if the structures were in place for me to work less I 100 percent would .

FlyMegagametophyte · 2018-05-13T15:35:18+00:00

Sounds good to me! Leave my salary alone and I'm fully onboard.

BlackHole94 · 2018-05-13T15:35:36+00:00

They realize that women cant compete with men. So the solution is sabotage and socially engineering men to work less.

So much for women’s strength 💪🏼

Feminists think men work a slave wage for fun!! This is how out of touch these intellectual academic elites really are!!

ThatThingAtThePlace · 2018-05-13T16:01:41+00:00

So nice of them to admit the "pay gap" is utter bullshit.

Raidicus · 2018-05-13T16:17:05+00:00

The business leaders must love this. We're arguing about who gets to work MORE

Bobbi_fettucini · 2018-05-13T16:22:14+00:00

Yeah sure, I’d love to have some spare time, and you can pay my bills for me. I make a pretty decent living and in the ten years I’ve been doing my job I have yet to see a woman come work where I do and actually stick around. Because and I quote “it’s hot dirty and stinks”

Drainbownick · 2018-05-13T16:47:10+00:00

Yea it would be cool if my wife worked I could afford to make half what I make and work less...

djalley22 · 2018-05-13T16:56:32+00:00

I work 10-15 hours longer per week than my female counter-part. I'd love to split the difference.

Vrael22 · 2018-05-13T16:57:26+00:00

Yeah. How about no. I'm providing for my wife and daughter.

Or is that sexist too? I can't tell anymore

Havokk · 2018-05-13T17:01:05+00:00

Why don't we just identify as female? Case closed!

llucas_o · 2018-05-13T17:11:16+00:00

In the article it says that they're paid less in their field on an hourly basis. Why is this? The big "77¢ per $1" stat is comparing all fields without considering hours worked, yeah?

Jews should work physical labor to fix the ethnic wage gap

adelie42 · 2018-05-13T19:00:37+00:00

Doing my part by ignoring the "gender gap" almost entirely!

What do I win?

Aanon89 · 2018-05-13T19:40:06+00:00

But... that... doesn't make sense. How about whoever's behind... works more to close their own personal wage gap? God, I am always so baffled by how some people's brains must work (or glitch?). Ugh.

dinnerwithfunions · 2018-05-13T21:39:21+00:00

Lol wot

FISHneedWATER · 2018-05-13T21:58:46+00:00

Brilliant and accurate comment chap. Well done.

Emranotkool · 2018-05-13T22:21:11+00:00

We should kill half the population of the earth to reduce the paygap.

Progressive men should strive to become stay-at-home dads so their wifes have more time to have fun with their boyfriends at work.

smfuel87 · 2018-05-14T09:49:02+00:00

Waaaaayyyyyyyy. Ahead of you on this...

Lrellok · 2018-05-14T16:47:36+00:00

GO mandatory 30 hour week!

Bing_Bang_Bam · 2018-05-13T15:21:22+00:00

Is it okay to be a lazy slut? I have a ton of hobbies at home.

Futureman999 · 2018-05-14T04:09:03+00:00

Fine by me, if that means lots of men get to retire young while women keep on working to support the luxurious lifestyles they need to impress on social media.

PartTimeTulsa · 2018-05-14T18:35:20+00:00

THe gender pay gap never mentions the extra responsibilities men take on just for being men or how they often working more hours.

Me_ADC_Me_SMASH · 2018-05-13T14:14:40+00:00

besides capitalists losing their shit, it's not a fundamentally bad idea.

A long time ago, men were hunting to provide for their group.

After that, they could be a breadwinner without women having to work.

But since capitalism is a race, the countries where women started working got ahead, and are forcing other countries to have their women work to compete.

The average american worker is working longer hours today than a fucking farmer before the industrial revolution. Look at how many poor people there are even with full time jobs today.

It's a race to the bottom, and this might be a way to slow it down.

berock212 · 2018-05-14T00:46:00+00:00

That screenshot is disgusting and OP should feel bad for posting it.

yikesmysexlife · 2018-05-13T18:29:36+00:00

great! they can use that extra time to do laundry, care for aging parents, pick up groceries and shuttle the kids around.
