It's just crazy to me how so many consider the MRM to be a fringe hate group when we know we just know the truth and want fairness for all, although that's a common rerun in history. I've never regretted a moment of being an MRA, and I never will.

Studies like these never surprise us, it's just the common knowledge we get criticized for trying to tell and accused of mansplaining for challenging the narrative we know to be wrong.

Isn't the damn gap mostly discredited by now?

Some of those comments will sap your IQ.

I'm inclined to think that the pay gap is linked to the #metoo motion, in that (mostly) men believe they are so powerful as to behave in a way that demeans women because they perceive them as weak and beneath them, that women are/should be subservient to the male species. I do realise that more women are replicating this bad behaviour, but then, there is also a mindset that women need to act 'masculine' in order to be accepted.

Yeah, ok. The vast, vast majority of powerful men don't sexually harass women. The projection in this comment is real. I don't know what's with the whole "men harass women because they perceive them as weak and beneath them" thing. Men don't go after women because they are weak. They go after women because they are attracted to them. Why do women swallow this power dynamic as a fact? They don't even get any information from men. If men walk about and spout bullshit about how they know what women are thinking at all times, women would be crapping all over those men. Seems like feminists know are experts on male behavior....

I believe that I have seen research showing that where jobs become largely taken up by women the average pay of that job drops. Teaching would appear to be an example - when teachers were more commonly male, salaries were higher relative to the average. I don't think that this is a function of girls choosing lower salaries, simply jobs which are more likely to attract women pay less. This could have two causes, employers value women less and feel they can get away with paying lower salaries or society not valuing the kind of roles described which are often in caring professions. Personally I feel women suffer from persistent and embedded discrimination. I know when I was a teacher, responsible for the education and wellbeing of my pupils, I was paid less than a Birmingham bin man who was able to claim all sorts of extra allowances, presumably because he was a man. It is not good enough to claim that different jobs are paid differently and therefore the gender pay gap does not exist. Why do different jobs pay differently?

AKA, I know no idea what supply and demand is. When women flock to a profession that is dominated by men, suddenly, there's twice as many job candidates, pay will drop. I'm pretty sure the pay would drop for those men entering that profession as well. Jobs that still have low amounts of job applicants and are in high demand, are going to pay well regardless of gender.
