Thy Plague Doctor

Pope my question was extremely specific and very local. Would you vote in a referendum to rectify problems in wage gaps where age or pregnancy is not an issue and productivity is the same. I didn’t ask if you supported affirmative action or universal wage fairness. This referendum would happen wherever you personally live. You can vote yes or no…[Read more]

Ivy I don’t know what your answer actually is. Would you try to rectify a wage gap that is objectively demonstrated? Yes or no. Maybe is also allowed. But “there are more important things to worry about” or listing speculative theories of why it might happen (totally irrelevant to a discussion on a case where something objectively demonstrated,…[Read more]

As about comprehensive as you can get is a meta-meta study of meta-analysis andatheir own meta-analysis  done over several decades which rigourously control various factors which people usually use as excuses for why women who are equally productive make less than men. The result is: things have gotten better, which points to a recognition of the…[Read more]

Aboslutely love the straight pride video. Helarious.

Every day is straight pride day. While I am sure that there are occasional unfair and quite rare “pick on straight people” days, beat up a straight couple days, kick your straight kids out of home days or “don’t give that breeder a job” days. I’m not sure that it’s really necessary to get…[Read more]

I’m also still pretty amazed that no one has remotely answered a single one of my original questions. It seems that even within these extremely tight parameters, highly limited examples where merit and output and quality are quantifiable and a wage disparity is proven by the data that there is undeniably a problem, would you try to rectify it? It…[Read more]

I’m really fascinated by your claim that gender wage disparity isnt ALL about gender. I’m curious what possible factor outside of gender would explain gender discrimination.

IQ, personality traits, personal family life style preferences, learning disabilities or lack there of, mental health diagnoses or lack there of, motivation, learning sty…

Ivy: “There’s other things we need to fix first”

Are you suggesting we can only do one thing at a time?

Thanks, Reg!

And the men who “end up” in those same jobs still tend to be paid more than the women who do.

Indeed Reg. Your guy, @Simon, is only half right. Not only do they get fewer high level jobs (even the unmarried career dedicators) but also make less in those jobs than non-women do.

None of this is to say that men don’t deserve the salaries they get. W…[Read more]

Both of you have spectacularly avoided the question. Ivy…I’m really fascinated by your claim that gender wage disparity isnt ALL about gender. I’m curious what possible factor outside of gender would explain gender discrimination.

Robert I don’t know what your answer is. Your response is entirely made up of your own personal experience in one…[Read more]
