Wanna get laid guys?
Go up to a girl and tell her you sympathize with the fact that women get paid 76 cents for every dollar a man makes. Then buy her a drink.
You don’t even need to thank me for that.
So how do you explain this discrepancy? This is 2013 for chrissakes!
Part of the gap in pay is driven by choices, even within single job categories. Among physicians, for example, women are more likely than men to choose lower-paid specialties.
And among all workers, women are more likely than men to take a significant time off from work to raise children, and they tend to be re-hired at lower wages than their counterparts who remained in the workforce.
This isn’t some interest group either…these are Department of Labor stats.
Yet the Department of Labor blog rushed to cover this up with a “mythbusting” post, including the following:
MYTH: There is no such thing as the gender pay gap – legitimate differences between men and women cause the gap in pay, not discrimination.
This is what happens when you discover irrefutable evidence, then have to cover it up to push a political agenda.
By the way, want to know of an industry where the “pay gap” is enormous…ly tilted in favor of women? Porn.
