No matter how solidly the gender wage gap is debunked, there's a segment of people who desperately want to believe it. It gives the left a tool to bludgeon Republicans with, regardless that the premise is completely flawed.

Here's the facts:

- The wage gap averages the wages of ALL men compared to ALL women in the workforce.
- On average, men work more hours per week than women.
- Men work more dangerous jobs
- Men work in higher-paying fields
- Men work more overtime
- Men ask for raises more than women
- Men have fewer gaps in employment

Comparing a man and woman with the same experience and education yields two employees who are paid the same. At this point, after its been so thoroughly disproven, suggesting there's a systematic, sexist gender wage gap is a flat out lie.

Chad to you understand what I wrote? The 78 cents on the dollar figure comes from the Bureau of Labor and statistics. It's a simple average of every male and women worker in the country. It makes no attempt to adjust for things that drive the average down for women that have absolutely nothing to do discrimination. If those trends which I have outlined continue they will never achieve parity using that method of comparing.

Before the inevitable, "DERP WND DERPs" you can cross reference it all quite easily.

Nasty stuff from nasty people.

Why is Bill Cosby raked over the coals while Bill Clinton sails smooth?

Racist white liberal privilege is an ugly thing.
It's BS, pure and simple.

There is a war on women. You can see it on the symbol that Hillary chose for her campaign. She is trying to appeal to males, paying her female staffers less and constantly bowing to males like Obama to acquire her political ideas.

All else is just another lie by her.

All of your "facts" apply to your beloved democrats also. If republicans changed their stance on any of these, your democrats would immediately support the former position and claim it as their own.

Even the republicans in this forum wage war on women when they call Nancy Pelosi "the botox witch" or call Michelle Obama "a disgusting pig." But Nancy and Michelle look just FINE to me.
So you admire botox and pork. Great way to argue.

How there you confuse a liberal with quantitative and qualitative rebuttal? They all know things are black or white, right or wrong, important or not. They'll let you know which stance to take. It is all for your own good.

  • Women work less overtime and jobs that require a lot of time away from home that pay well.
  • Women typically do not do go into very dangerous and high paying jobs.
That''s the short list.
