[quote=Anonymous]Gender wage gap is a crazy fiction when you adjust for jobs women CHOOSE VS men and time taken out of career (again women’s choice!) for child-bearing and rearing.
Women on average tend to avoid risky, isolated, or hard labor jobs. (Doesn’t mean there are no women sanitation workers or welders…but there are decidedly fewer!)
And they tend to gravitate toward (again by choice)  more nurturing fields that yield lower pay. 
And when comparing apples to apples, like if I’m an attorney who takes time off to have a baby and stay home for 2-4 years, when I re-enter the workforce, should my employer pay me the same as a male attorney of the same age who did not take that time off? Or should that male attorney be allowed to continue to have pay increases while I take time off to pursue what I choose?
That’s the gender pay gap in a nutshell.

If employers could get away with literally paying women less (by thousands) for the same job as men in the exact same roles with same experience—-why would all corporations not employ only women? 
Seriously. If there is a huge difference between what an employer can pay a woman for doing the same job with same years of experience as a man—then why would anyone hire men?
Is there anyone who really believes that   corporations/employers are that altruistic that they wouldn’t immediately jump at the chance  to cut costs on labor and salaries by ditching men in favor of a workforce of women?
It makes no sense. [/quote]
