1) Earnings is a less useful measure of wealth than share of spending and accumulated wealth

Forbes predicts that women will control 77% of US wealth by 2020, I don't know if that ended up being true. It was 60% in 2008.

2) Women who choose to put work ahead of family make more money than men, and find it easier to get work

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/aug/29/women-in-20s-earn-more-men-same-age-study-finds

When aged 22-29, women earn an average of £1,111 more than men – but the roles are reversed with a vengeance once 30 is hit

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704421104575463790770831192

The earning power of young single women has surpassed that of their male peers in metropolitan areas around the U.S., a shift that is being driven by the growing ranks of women who attend college and move on to high-earning jobs.

In 2008, single, childless women between ages 22 and 30 were earning more than their male counterparts in most U.S. cities, with incomes that were 8% greater on average, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data released Wednesday by Reach Advisors, a consumer-research firm in Slingerlands, N.Y.

For every two men who graduate college today, three women do, and college graduates earn almost $30,000 more per year, on average, than high school grads. According to data from the Census Bureau, the average salary for a high school graduate is $37,303, while college graduates earn $66,445 per year on average. Reverse Gap Larger in Some Cities

In some cities, the reverse gap is even more pronounced. Young women aren't just earning more than the guys -- they're clobbering them.

In New York, young, unmarried women earn 17 percent more than men.

In Los Angeles, they earn 12 percent more, and they enjoy 14 percent more in both Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C.

This wage pattern started to emerge in big cities years ago, but it's now spread more widely. The authors of the report looked at data from 2,000 towns and cities around the country, and found three main community-level factors that tend to boost women's earnings relative to men within this demographic:

  1. The community has a heavy dependence on knowledge-based jobs, which in turn serves as a magnet for well-educated women.

  2. The community has majority-minority population (i.e., non-Hispanic whites are less than 50% of the total population). This is in part due to Hispanic and African-American women being almost twice as likely as their male peers to earn bachelor's and graduate degrees.

  3. The community has seen a decimation of the manufacturing employment base, making it more difficult for men without similarly high levels of education to earn solid incomes.

Statistically significant discrimination against men was found in the ‘female occupation’ - secretary, and against women in the ‘male occupation’ - engineer. Statistically significant, and un- precedented, discrimination against men was found in two ‘mixed occupations’ - trainee chartered accountant and computer analyst programmer.

Large-scale meta-analyses of “sending-fake-resumes-to-employers” studies have found slight discrimination against men (mostly in female-dominated jobs) but the empirical literature is a lot more mixed

Rich 2014

Large-scale meta-analysis of 67 field experiments on discrimination amongst job markets has found significant disparities against ethnic groups, men, older workers and homosexuals

“These results reflect the findings of the other studies on gender discrimination, that is, statistically significant discrimination against men in the female-dominated jobs which is of a much higher order than any found for the integrated occupations or against females applying to male-dominated jobs.”

Baert 2017

Systematic review of correspondence experiements with respect to hiring discrimination lists 11 studies looking at pure gender discrimination (man vs woman): they found two studies that found discrimination against women, four studies that found discrimination against men, and the rest found no statistically significant disparity Hangartner et al. 2020

Study done by the journal Nature tracking recruiters’ behaviors on online markets found that women face a 6.7% penalty in male-dominated occupations but that men face a 12.6% penalty in female-dominated occupations

Ahmed et al. 2021

A study done in Sweden of employer responses to more than 3,200 fictitious job applications across 15 occupations revealed that overall positive employer response rates were higher for women than men by almost 5 percentage points.

“Male applicants were about half as likely as female applicants to receive a positive employer response in female-dominated occupations. For male-dominated and mixed occupations we found no significant differences in positive employer responses between male and female applicants.”

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2016/09/male-curse-27-why-young-men-are-so-much-more-likely-live-home-their-parents

The idea of the curse of 27 is nothing new – even if, when it comes to musicians, it is actually a myth. But for young men today, the age is cursed in another way: 27 per cent of men still live at home aged 27, compared to only 13 per cent of women.

Let’s call them the stay-at-home sons. Many of those who linger at home have little choice. Men earn an average of £1,100 less than women between the ages of 22 to 29. As women increasingly outperform men at school and university, the gap could get larger still.

3) The earnings gap in favour of men only manifests amongst those who are married and have children, as women are generally given the option to step back from work and place more of the financial burden on men.

“Feminists constantly complain that men are not doing their fair share of domestic work. The reality is that most men already do more than their fair share.” and “As factual data replaces received wisdom, several well-entrenched feminist myths have been overturned … Men do substantially more hours of paid work.”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5814559/Men-Mars-women-Venus-terrifying-truth-experts-call-shortened-work-week-girls.html

Feminists in particular are not happy about the increase in work for women. Some recently demanded that “in order to achieve gender equality,” the legal maximum working hour limits must be lowered to 34 hours a week for women, but kept at 48 hours for men. [23]

The end result of this is that over twice as many married fathers work full-time as mothers.

60% of fulltime workers are men, and men who work full time work 3.8 hours more per week [67].

Fathers of children under 18 work 27 hours a week, and mothers only 21.

Mothers spend almost twice as much time with their children as fathers do (13.5 hours a week). [68]

43 percent of married mothers and 88 percent of married fathers work full time. [69]

Even when housework is included, British men work longer hours in total than do women when there are children in the home, largely because men often have to work more overtime, while their wives switch to part-time jobs, or leave employment altogether. [70]

Unsurprisingly housewives have more leisure time, even when housework is included, than married fathers. (4.2 hours vs 3.7) [71

The Monster survey also revealed that working fathers are increasingly embracing workplace benefits that until recently were utilized only by mothers - 71 percent of dads with a child under five took paternity leave when offered by their employers, compared with just 48 percent of dads with a school-aged child. In addition, approximately one-third of dads with toddlers reported that their employer provided paternity leave benefits or flexible work schedules for fathers; yet among working men whose employers offered paternity leave, 58 percent took advantage of it, and 71 percent of men adopted flexible work schedules when it was offered by their employers. Furthermore, when searching for a job, 82 percent of working dads view companies more positively if they offer a flex time benefit.

Additional Key Findings -- If money were no object, 68 percent of dads would consider being a stay-at-home parent. -- The workplace benefit that fathers appreciate most is a flexible work schedule (53 percent), followed by telecommuting (24 percent), onsite child care (12 percent) and paid paternity leave (10 percent). -- Almost half of working fathers (46 percent) never bring work home during the week; 34 percent report one-two nights per week, 12 percent report three-four nights and eight percent report bringing projects home every night of the week. -- According to 78 percent of working father respondents, bringing work home during the week affects a dad's relationship with his child/children.

4) The work gap leaves men with less free time, less family time, more stress and less opportunity to seek medical attention

(contd.) "The residual gender gap in access to primary healthcare, as displayed by Figure 1, is probably due in the main to men’s working patterns, and the resulting difficulties of access to healthcare and community health programmes during the working day.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/3dbkcs/debunking_the_wage_gap_in_30_seconds/

Feminists say that women make 77 cents for every dollar that men make. And that this is a problem which needs to be solved.

But the "77 cents on the dollar" number is just pay. So let's talk about equal pay for equal work.

How much work do women do for that 77 cents on the dollar?

According to the US department of labour [1], it's 76 hours for every 100 hours that men work.

Hmmmm, let me see... Women work 76 hours, and get paid for 77. Men work 100 hours, and get paid for 100. That sounds like equal pay for equal work to me.
