[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feel like you are WAAAY overthinking it.

From my perspective as a late 40s gen xer, it’s really simple: it’s a lot easier for a mediocre white man to get ahead or achieve success than for a mediocre or even above average woman.

Doesn’t mean that mediocre or above average women won’t get ahead… Or that every mediocre white man will achieve success… It’s just the odds are stacked against women for a number of reasons. I wouldn’t say America is an anti-woman hell scape, but I do think the playing field is not level, and day after day a year after year, it can get to you.[/quote]

Genuinely curious to hear your thoughts as to what, specifically, is not level about the playing field in 2023z[/quote]

Equal pay for equal work.[/quote]

Who is not being paid equally for equal work?  What jobs/industries?  Please be specific.[/quote]

All of them. You can google it.

2 people in the exact same job, doing the exact same thing, with the exact same experience will be paid differently, depending on their gender.

The NCAA did a study to see if they gave girls softball the same about a marketing as they did one of the men’s sports would it have equal viewership and equal ad money. When they put the same amount of marketing into softball, it became a big moneymaker.

That’s just one small minor very simple example.

I don’t understand your example.  They put the same amount of money into marketing women’s softball as men’s softball (so let’s be generous and say baseball) and then the women’s softball team brought in as much money as men’s baseball team?[/quote]

NCAA do not televise women’s softball until 30 years ago because “they didn’t make money”. They were sued under Titke IX. They decided they would do a test and women softball was the test.

Now women’s softball makes more money than any other men’s sports except football, basketball, and baseball. They’ve only been televising it for about a decade, and this year they had more of your viewership than men’s baseball.

It’s simply proved that women’s sports can make money if treated seriously. The reason it wasn’t making money is because it wasn’t advertised not because people weren’t interested.[/quote]

I think this is awesome. I think it’s far removed from the speech. Far far removed. Bullet point for me the sentences of the speech that have anything to do with your example.[/quote]
