Ok, I know the wage gap controversy proposing that men make on average a certain amount more than women do has been debunked. That it has been chalked up to difference in experience or other factors. But anytime the argument arises there is always a female or two set on the idea that it still exists.

Well, I'm on mobile so I won't be posting sources or anything. Everything I say can be looked up by googling though.

I was under the impression that everyone of equal rank in the military made the same amount. If their situations were similar. Married, single, hazard pay..

To my surprise, I found that women actually make more than men in the military due to an allowance issued to everyone for maintaining their uniforms. This allowance is called CMA or clothing maintenance allowance. Myself and all other males receive roughly 28 bucks a month for it, while all females receive roughly 30 bucks a month. Making equally qualified and ranked females earn roughly 420 more dollars in a 20 year career. Now I'm not upset about earning 420 less, I'm upset that even while they make more, they still get behind the concept of a wage gap in our favor. The times have changed. Women have all the same rights as men, and now some that men don't have. Yet I still get treated like a make in the 60s did. When is someone going to stand up and say that women are treated better? when will it be okay for me to feel oppressed? I already have a documented smaller chance of acceptance into the officer corpse for being a white male than a female, and a much lower chance than say a female of minority. But all these things hide behind fancy names like affirmative action and needed for diversity. When Wil the best possible job applicant get the job based on qualification over race or gender?

End rant.

Sorry if this isn't the correct forum or format for this type of thing, I just feel like this is the only place I can say this without being persecuted as someone who hates women. Which I don't. I just wish they would stop hating me for unfounded reasons.
