I want to acknowledge that she is no less than our equal on this Woman's Equality Day.

Congratulations being the equal of such luminaries!

Can she fix an ice machine?
No?

Equal to brick.

Except she would only be paid 79% of what BRick got for trying.

Well, 98.8% when you actually correctly normalize the stats.

Is it Administrative Assistant Day already?

So regardless of which way you massage the numbers it will be less?

Is it Administrative Assistant Day already?

No.

"No matter how many times this wage gap claim is decisively refuted by economists, it always comes back. The bottom line: the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing.

Wage gap activists say women with identical backgrounds and jobs as men still earn less. But they always fail to take into account critical variables. Activist groups like the National Organization for Women have a fallback position: that women’s education and career choices are not truly free—they are driven by powerful sexist stereotypes. In this view, women’s tendency to retreat from the workplace to raise children or to enter fields like early childhood education and psychology, rather than better paying professions like petroleum engineering, is evidence of continued social coercion. Here is the problem: American women are among the best informed and most self-determining human beings in the world. To say that they are manipulated into their life choices by forces beyond their control is divorced from reality and demeaning, to boot."

You realize that still says they earn less even when other things are factored in?

Congrats Spaulding.

For choosing a career as a mother and homemaker and putting your children before yourself.

And also for choosing to be part of the economy that is unpaid because what you have chosen is priceless.

Not when the comparison is apples to apples. Don't you support a woman's right to choose her profession?

This is what you posted. It literally says there is a gap.

Yeah, and who knows what might account for said statistically insignificant "gap"? Would you feel better if women made a fraction of a cent more? Because I'm sure we're headed there.

Here you go again trying to shift the debate instead of just admitting that you were wrong. How about them making the same as men? No one has argued they should make more. You've argued that there was no gap but even the article you posted acknowledges that a gap exists.

I just read that entire article and it made me sick.

I posted it. I know what it said. There could be any number of things that account for a statistically insignificant "gap" in wages between the sexes. or do you expect that woman and men are always going to receive the exact same pay? That's kind of silly, not to mention impossible. And when women are on the plus side, which is bound to happen, you- and a million other "feminists"- won't be going around talking about a wage gap at all or you'll still be lying about 77 cents.

Also, I'm sorry that a woman having an opinion different than yours and backing it up with real facts and research "makes you sick".

There is a gap between 2-23%. I know a woman wrote it and her excuse making still made me sick. This isn't 1956.

The gap isn't between 2% and 23% and even if it is, that's not the 77% that "feminists" including the next president constantly say it is. What does "it's not 1956" even mean? That in 2016 lies are okay if they push some agenda you support? Finally, Christina Hoff Sommers isn't some fire-breathing right-wing lunatic. She's a classical liberal feminist. I'm sorry you have an issue with a strong woman not named Hillary speaking her mind.
