More of these charts please! Very interesting to see the numbers in this graphical way.

This is a great graph but someone badly needs to change all the green in that image to pink.

We instinctively associate pink with female and it would make it so much easier to understand the graph at a glance.

While I don't think it's wrong I'd like to see some sources. It's not looking very credible to add a bunch of numbers and say: "Explain this".

If the wage gap were real, than wouldn't any head honcho business exec be a fool to not fire all of their male employees to hire all female ones? That's saving a whopping 23% in salary expenses

A good job and well done!

This is trying to do too much. It needs to focus on the original issue. The wage gap. It needs to a dress only where the .77 to 1.0 came from and why it is flawed. Then give citations. citationsWithout citations it means nothing. Stop trying to do so much.

But muh wage gap. Women deserve more pay for just having a vagina you oppressing bastard. But they shouldn't be doing dangerous jobs either.

Print it off and put up around colleges

If you're talking to someone and the wage gap comes up just say "Did you know that seventy seven cents on the dollar thing is aggregate all women vs all men?". If they don't respond with "They controlled for no variables? I guess we can't draw any meaningful conclusions from that then." you should just walk away.

And men have to pay for dates and alimony and child support.

Irrelevant info, the most important thing that debunks the wage gap is that they lump all professions into the data, so a female fast food employee's earnings is being compared to a male brain surgeon's earnings.

Edit: Downvotes are fine, but what about talking to me about this? I want you to tell me why you think all those stats are relevant when the biggest flaw of the wage gap study is that it compares coffee shop workers to Wall Street workers.

An infographic without sources is worthless.

It would also be kind of nice to see the spending gap added also added to these numbers to show an even bigger disparity.

Ok but petroleum engineers being paid more than kindergarten teachers is sexist, patriarchal, and misogynistic.

SEND-YOUR-TITS-HERE · 2017-03-03T15:01:34+00:00

Or simply "if the wage gap is real, then why aren't profit driven companies only hiring women and making mad bank from paying much less in wages?"

Facts don't matter to those who refuse to yield to them.
