GENDER PAY GAP MYTH:
This one is probably easiest to swallow since it is fucking illegal to not pay a man and woman the same. This one is so easy to swallow you can simply use the same copypasta over and over.
No matter how many times this wage gap claim is decisively refuted by economists, it always comes back. The bottom line:
the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It
does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant
factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing.
Wage gap activists say women with identical backgrounds and jobs as men still earn less. But they always fail to take into account
critical variables. Activist groups like the National Organization for Women have a fallback position: that women’s education and
career choices are not truly free—they are driven by powerful sexist stereotypes. In this view, women’s tendency to retreat from the
workplace to raise children or to enter fields like early childhood education and psychology, rather than better paying professions
like petroleum engineering, is evidence of continued social coercion. Here is the problem: American women are among the best informed
and most self-determining human beings in the world. To say that they are manipulated into their life choices by forces beyond their
control is divorced from reality and demeaning, to boot.
