I dont see her point. The message being seems like pandering to women/girls honestly. The study if she would have bothered to actually look at it and not the click bait title. The methodology section , how the result were actually determined from the data was pretty sloppy and not detailed. if you look hard you see work force participation (wfp) was factored in, not by removing the non-working but including them because it is womans earning overall as a group. Womens work force participation is currently the same as in 2008. It peaked in 2013 and has been declining since. Women not choosing to work lowered the ranking not some evil conspiracy. The drop in wfp reached a point where over all earning for women as a group dropped compared to men. That is also why Rwanda and the Philippines womens wfp there is over 80%, because they are poor, under developed countries everyone in the family works at low skilled , low paying jobs to survive. In the US it was 57% in 2016 and estimated in the 56% range for 2017.

I'm OP and, fwiw, I'm a black male. Thanks to all who weighed in.

Point(s) well taken to those who took issue with the study's methodology. I agree, it wasn't the most robust way to try to determine what the drivers are that perpetuate this problem.

And that was the point of my post - gender inequality is a persistent problem and that it's past time we get serious about addressing the factors that cause it. [/quote]

Logical and well stated. My point was there is no message we are sending in our homes. Inequality can be tough to measure in some ways. For instance women statistically, are far more likely to have the option to be a stay at home parent or work part time or chose a career in a lower paying field while having a lifestyle it would never support (by marrying a higher income earner). That is hard to factror in, the best we can do is try to makesure people have equal access to excersising their options. [/quote]
