Are you the one that said this "Nope. Not sure where you're getting your information. You're probably just committed to being an oppressed victim, no matter what the evidence bears out." If so, I asked YOU for provide the evidence you claim to base your opinion on. |
Because you want to confirm your priors. Nope = none of the literature usually making this claim bears the point out once you account for all factors. Usually people without agendas stop making such universal claims (like the pay gap is across the board) when they repeatedly fall apart, unless they are emotionally and ideologically invested in a certain outcome. The tendentious vigor of your inquiry is noted. |
OK so you have no evidence, as suspected. The only one emotionally invested in proving a point is you. You are the one who claimed to have evidence ,which you clearly do not have. All I did was ask you to provide it. |
Mhmmm, sure. And the "evidence" for the claim posted is showing that men teach in harder-to-staff roles and work more supplemental hours. So not the same work. Curious how that happens so frequently. When "study" after "study" fails to bear the point out, it would suggest that evidence for such broad claims like "the pay gap is across the board" does not exist. You do you, though. |
How can they bear it out when it's just like....your feelings and total and utter BS? |
I’m not the PP but the studies I just read out of curiosity did state that the majority of the pay gap was associated with supplemental hours. However, as suggested by another poster, I read a number of law suits that were settled in favor of the women bc of pay gaps despite same job/same duties or even with the women having a higher level job and higher level duties. So maybe the answer isn’t clear cut either way. |
Same hours, same subject, same education, same everything |
Hmmm…I just read it. It said it’s largely because of supplemental work that men take on that the women don’t. Not that there isn’t some discrimination there but it’s not the same hours. |
This is a fair and reasonable take, and much less sweeping than other claims. Things always get messy once you get past the agendas and propaganda. A settlement is not always evidence of wrongdoing though; sometimes it's just a cost of doing business for the company. You can always find sensationalized stories and lawsuits: https://www.npr.org/2019/03/05/700288695/google-pay-study-finds-its-underpaying-men-for-some-jobs https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.639423/gov.uscourts.nysd.639423.1.0.pdf If you want another study, here is one that suggests that for early childcare workers, women actually outearn men on an hourly basis. "Although women face pay disparities relative to men in the overall workforce, table 10 suggests that women who are early childhood educators earn more than their male colleagues. Across all early childhood educator populations, women earn an average of $15.33 per hour, compared with men’s $13.96 per hour. One factor driving this disparity is that a higher share of males are educators coded as child care workers rather than educators coded as preschool teachers. Because child care workers are paid less than preschool teachers, this lowers the average wage among men. Women who work in early care and education earn more than men as well, although the gap is smaller." https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/97676/early_childhood_educator_compensation_final_2.pdf |
Do you think your husband brings something different to the table with your boys than you do? |
~ $3,200 / year was not due to supplemental hours. The other $4,000/ year was due to supplemental hours but those supplemental hours are not offered to women, like football coach and the class the football coach teaches is something like study hall instead of AP Literature like the women teach. |
The pay inequity study that found that Google was underpaying some men doesn’t mean they were underpaying them compared to women. They could’ve been underpaying them based on location meaning they were getting the same pay as somebody in Philly but they were working in New York. Google equity is based on job, experience, and location. So that wasn’t exactly paying inequity of men versus women. It just showed that some men were paid less than their peers who could’ve been in the same job, experience, and location. |
So you know better than the company itself? |
Step up and be their parent and not their friend. |
You neither understood the study nor the explanation of the study |
