Basically the story goes to say that single, child-free women, under 30 years old make 8% more than men. Prior to this, the feminists were complaining non stop about how women only make 70 cents for every dollar a man makes. However, the data they were using was based on total income. So if a man made 100k a woman would make 70k. This is what is referred to as, "the pay gap." When you factor in total hours worked, women work less than men primarily because they take more time off to care for children while men work more, "to support the family." This is the primary reason women make less than men. Its not because of some sexist agenda its simply that women don't get paid when they take time off from work.
The feminist agenda that women earn less than men is pure myth. The metric we should be focused on is equal pay for equal work. Not equal income.
Find me a feminazi who has ever had kids to care for themselves...well, you get the idea. They don't live in reality and most of us who know better dismissed this without a second thought.
Granted, I am not so naive to think the world is all rosy, but I have yet to work a job as I just turned 31 to where new workers are started off at a certain base wage and step up from there as time is accumulated.
Of course. I pointed this out over a year ago, and was resoundingly bashed. The fact is that there are many more women going to college than men. Women are preparing themselves for the high-paying jobs, while men graduate from or drop out of high school and get a job nailing shingles down on roofs. In fact, there are today, in the USA, more women who have a job, than men. And when they go home, they take care of the household and the children, too.

I've known this for a long time. The feminists distort the statistics. They're not for equality; they're for skewing everything in favor of women, fair or not.
