This is a well regarded, liberal friendly source addressing that the wage gap isn't due to discrimination to a meaningful extent

The US Department of Labor's report, "An Analysis of Reasons For the Disparity in Wages Between Men and Women" - aka the CONSAD Report gives the following summary:

Extant economic research has identified numerous factors that contribute to the gender wage gap. Many of the factors relate to differences in the choices and behavior of women and men in balancing their work, personal, and family lives. These factors include, most notably, the occupations and industries in which they work, and their human capital development, work experience, career interruptions, and motherhood. Other factors are sources of wage adjustments that compensate specific groups of workers for benefits or duties that disproportionately impact them. Such factors for which empirical evidence has been developed include health insurance, other fringe benefits, and overtime work.

It is not possible to produce a reliable quantitative estimate of the aggregate portion of the raw gender wage gap for which the explanatory factors that have been identified account. Nevertheless, it can confidently be concluded that, collectively, those factors account for a major portion and, possibly, almost all of the raw gender wage gap.

In other words, it comes down to the choices people make and there is little to no evidence of "systemic discrimination".

Incidentally, this is the very same report that feminist get their 77 cents figure from - they just cherry pick the data and ignore the conclusion.

I'd post a link to the report, but it seems to have been taken down. Thanks Trump!

You want someone to show or provide proof that you are pro men's rights?

I wonder why feminists won't tell us the wage gap between all 76 genders?
