It's almost like nobody there thought to look at the data to realize that the "wage" gap was really an "earnings" gap that is explained by the different choices men will make compared to women.
Although all the points about men being more assertive, negotiating harder, putting in more overtime, and choosing higher paid fields are all true, even if none of those things were true, women as a collective would STILL earn less overall just because they are the ones who give birth.
And men tend to retire with the same company after putting decades of service in. Have you ever met a woman that retired at the same company after working 35 years for them? I haven’t.
Hilarious.
