Just going to say what I always say here.

You won't win the wage gap "debate" by playing the feminists' game. This sort of analysis just helps to cement the idea that women are somehow behind. If you have to take this approach have some balls and explain that the wage gap is the result of discrimination against men -- which it is of course.

But better is to keep it simple and cut off feminists at the legs. Point out that the feminists have been lying about the wage gap for fifty years. Ask why they have been lying about the wage gap for fifty years. Ask what does it say about feminists that they have been deliberately lying to denigrate men for fifty years. Just keep asking the feminists why they are lying.

If the other side is passing off disgusting lies you win. It's that simple. You don't have to debate a liar, especially one that is lying so as to denigrate a birth group.

Would you try to debate someone who goes around saying that Jews smell bad? or that black people are lazy and stupid? That's what we are dealing with here. Don't come down to their level. If any feminist wants to be taken seriously on this topic the first thing they have to do is condemn the fifty years that other feminists (almost certainly including them) have been deliberately lying to denigrate men. And that will never happen.

One thing I think the article gets wrong is the bit about construction jobs paying well. He complains that feminists stopped Obama from creating more jobs for men in construction and whatnot, saying that those jobs pay more due to the risks involved. But earlier in the article, he cites median pay for those positions, and the median pay for construction is only $28,410. I can almost make more than that working from home.

The rest of the article is great, however. Just making a casual observation.
