the entire gender gap idea is that women get paid less for men for the same work in the saqme job and that's not true at all. the gap is that on average women get paid less than men. but in the cat food factory, all the factory workers make the same, and inthe dog food factory all the workers get the same, just because more women work at the cat food factory and they make less doesn't mean there is some force giving women less pay. but dog and cat food companies are lumped in the same thing and so there's a "pay gap"

in another thread philly was talking about how you should talk to your boss about your own pay (which is something that women are not as forceful with btw) and stop comparing yourselves to others. this is just whining, complaining that they think they are owed more for their work just cuz they are female, which is sexist and discriminatory

First off, I will say that I believe "on average" women are paid less for the same job as a man (all other things being equal). However . . .

My belief is that most (all?) of the studies on this are going about it wrong. For this example, let's look at one, single job. The study queries 500 people holding that job, 250 women and 250 men. They find that, on average, women make 77% of the wages that the men do. One might conclude that women entering this job market have a 77% chance of making less than a man. But, that may be a misleading statistic.

What if, when you look at the figures for each individual, you find that 200 of the women make the exact same amount as 200 of the men. However, for the other 50, women make FAR less than the men. If you look at it that way, then a random woman entering the job market has an 80% chance to make just as much as a man.

As I said, I have no idea if this is true. In fact, I suspect that it is not. But, without knowing what's behind the numbers, I cannot say.
