Those discretionary funds were compensation for women being previously assigned a lower pay grade (like a GS level) than they deserved, and overperforming relative to their level. |
| What does Scott Galloway say about saving DC Urban Moms and Dads, who seem to be in much worse shape than the teenage boys? |
Mad = bad. Woman = good. We get it. Give it a rest. |
There’s also the fact that this has not been the case for young Black and Hispanic men long before it was an issue for White ones. Where was the concern twenty years ago? |
There were so few of them nobody noticed? |
This is a new body of research, but one hypothesis is gender bias in grading and the compounding effects thereof. Several studies document/discuss the hypothesis grading bias in favor of girls in schooling. Others are now starting to delve into how this compounds over time. It is still a relatively new body of literature, so we will see if it sticks. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272775718307714?via%3Dihub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0742051X22002001 https://economics.uq.edu.au/article/2021/12/teacher-gender-bias-has-lasting-effects-on-student-marks-and-study-choices |
It’s actually the complete opposite of natural selection because it’s largely manmade forces/polices that are conspiring against them. |
Conspiring against whom? Men? You mean giving women equal rights and protections under the law? Yeah, how horrible for men. |
| Men generally hate women and are now being hoisted by their own petard. Suck it. |
Yes, certainly, but these same rights extend to trans women, every bit as much as to all women. |
You're a pathetic troll. There is no sense is trying to have a serious conversation with someone like you. |
| Mothers of boys have become adept at raising demure, sensitive, feminist boys, who grow up into adult males, who no woman would ever want to marry. |
hahahahaha you sound so desperate. It's kind of hilarious. |
The pay of the undercompensated male Level 4 software engineers was compared to that of their peers within the same job, level, location, and performance ratings and 10000 were found to be underpaid (8000 men and 2000 women). They were not necessarily paid less than women, they were paid less based on their job, level, location and performance rating. The lawsuit was looking to see if there were underpaid women, there were 2000 underpaid women. 20% of the underpaid staff were women. 14% of the staff are women. But they also found that there was a big pay discrepancy of L4 engineers in general and they had to remedy that. |
| It’s because men expected women to work and parent their kids and manage the house at the same level. The fathers and their sons never picked up the slack, and society didn’t adapt to two earner households to make up the difference, and things fell apart. |
