Do Women Really Earn Less?

This guy does a pretty good job explaining why it seems like women are paid less than men, while in fact, there is little to no wage discrimination between the two.

This guy has some really good points. Liberals hate facts. They'd rather believe they are changing the world with "civil" equality laws which contradict private property laws to make themselves believe they are saints. Even when there is a legitimate issue such as gay discrimination, they would rather have the government do a half-assed job of "solving" the issue than letting the market actually fix the problem properly.

When someone try 2 find work, it just so offense to say "oh hey, you a bish? then go wash the dish" Just look at my girl Tyra, she a 5 star bish, own show, fashion mogul, part time HBS certificate in strategery. It's the 2000th century, bishes can do stuff now.

Dude's right. Plus, no one talks about how women dominate certain jobs like nursing and how men can be discriminated against there.

Finally, now I can make Feminists to shut up. I absolutely hate that "every one dollar a man earns, woman makes 75 cents" argument. Now that argument can finally come to rest. Please Feminists, let's move on the next issue to argue.

He nailed it! Yes, it is women's fault.

They chose to be social workers and day carers and glitter makers and unicorn feeder, of course they are getting paid less.
I did however find out that a male analyst who is on "my level" and in the same LOB is making about 7K more, so I went to my sector head and demanded more money. It worked.

If you think you are making less, say something about it, if you just like to talk about how victimized and discriminated upon you are, go feed some unicorns.

This is just like the minimum wage, it will end hurting those the most that it was designed to protect. All it does is make certain labor more expensive. Liberals are fucking stupid.

I have yet to see someone refute an even more basic counterargument: If you can really pay women so much less, why don't firms only hire women to save money?

It really is the women's fault. You can only blame yourself if you prepared for an industry that doesn't pay well. It's shocking to me to see how many of the women from my high school went into humanities, education, nursing & etc. You can't complain about the wages when it's normal for that industry.

It's almost like they are asking to be paid for being a mom...

If I could, I would actually have female friends instead of being bro-zoned all the god damn time by the male species.

That's a good point. I guess someone could come back at that and say, "While women are cheaper to hire than men, they aren't qualified with their liberal arts degrees."

Hipsters belong at OWS, not WSO.

I decided to take some heat and post these. I have always thought that there is something wrong with our society on how men are being treated. I wasn't able to articulate it very well until I see these.
