Script:
If, for the same work, women make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, why don’t businesses hire only women? Wages are the biggest expense for most businesses. So, hiring only women would reduce costs by nearly a quarter - and that would go right to the bottom line. Don’t businesses want to be profitable? Or, are they just really bad at math?
Well, actually, it’s the feminists, celebrities and politicians spreading this wage gap myth who have the math problem.
Here’s why:
The 77-cents-on-the-dollar statistic is calculated by dividing the median earnings of all women working full-time by the median earnings of all men working full-time. In other words, if the average income of all men is, say, 40,000 dollars a year, and the average annual income of all women is, say, 30,800 dollars, that would mean that women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. 30,800 divided by 40,000 equals .77.
But these calculations don’t reveal a gender wage injustice because it doesn’t take into account occupation, position, education or hours worked per week.
Even a study by the American Association of University Women, a feminist organization, shows that the actual wage gap shrinks to only 6.6 cents when you factor in different choices men and women make. And the key word here is “choice.” The small wage gap that does exist has nothing to do with paying women less, let alone with sexism; it has to do with differences in individual career choices that men and women make.
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Labor released a paper that examined more than 50 peer-reviewed studies and concluded that the oft-cited 23 percent wage gap “may be almost entirely the result of individual choices being made by both male and female workers.” Well, let’s look at some of those choices.
Georgetown University compiled a list of the five best-paying college majors, and the percentage of men or women majoring in those fields:
Number 1 best-paying major: Petroleum Engineering: 87% male
Number 2: Pharmaceutical Sciences: 48% male
3: Mathematics and Computer Science: 67% male
4: Aerospace Engineering: 88% male
5: Chemical Engineering: 72% male
Notice that women out-represent men in only one of the five top-paying majors - by only a few percentage points.
Now consider the same study’s list of the five worst paying college majors:
Number 1: Counseling and Psychology: 74% female
Number 2: Early Childhood Education: 97% female
3: Theology and Religious Vocations: 66% male
4: Human Services and Community Organization: 81% female
5: Social Work: 88% female
Here, it’s the women who lead in all but one category. Even within the same profession, men and women make different career choices that impact how much money they make. Take nursing, where male nurses on the whole earn 18% more than female nurses. The reason? Male nurses gravitate to the best-paying nursing specialties, they work longer hours, and disproportionately find jobs in cities with the highest compensation.

I have no job, I am paid 100% less than average. What the hell??!!?!??
Smh that’s why we need socialism
Tyler Brown That’s why we need programs that would help people institutionalized to be uneducated or homeless. I mean, unlike in the femenist wage gap, it has gotten 3x more expensive to go to college since 1998, and almost all jobs require a degree.

Fortnerd d I was joking btw
Why don't you come here in France?
No job is just perfect, this is exactly what our politicians are looking for! Could you please bring kids, cousins, wives, mother, sisters, etc. with you? Be sure to be part of a minority too; it will be easier for you to get free healthcare, free food and free state accomodation on top of your poverty benefit, family allowance, housing vouchers and maternity benefit.
Being uneducated and useless for our saturated labor market is a big plus.
I'm a Registered Nurse and a man. I make more than almost all of my female RN coworkers. Why? My bosses are women. It's because 1) I never call in sick 2) I constantly work as charge nurse (extra pay) 3) I work full time 4) I work overtime 5) I'm willing to work nights (extra pay) 6) I don't take a year off when I have kids. It's not rocket science.
wheelzwheela I'm a woman and also an RN. I definitely make less than you because I used my freedom of choice to work in homecare which pays less (than the hospital), but is more flexible and less hours (bc I personally value that more than $). The wage gap is a myth lol.
+hammypie Nice comment. And watch out for those dogs... I hear homecare nurses are second only to postal workers as far as dog's tastes go. ; )
wheelzwheela this is also why women don't get promoted as often as women
7) I'm banging my boss
WELL SAID!!!
It's a shame that the people who need to hear this the most, won't. They'd rather perpetuate hate and ignorance than to actually solve anything.
I know right I am only 18 yet unlike my stepmom I can be civil and respectful during a debate about politics her reaction is always to send me to my room as soon as she starts hearing facts she doesn’t like I feel like people are losing respect very quickly
big reason why men are usually more available to be on-call and are 'willing' to work more is that oftentimes their wives (who probably also have jobs too) have a second job where they take care of most of the house hold chores and the responsibilities with their kids. I know not all house holds are like this but these gender roles are are prevalent in our society. The problem is that raising kids and cooking and cleaning while maintaining a job should be seen as a responsibility of both genders - when both parties pull their weight in the relationship is when both can also equally provide just has much time and energy to their work life and therefore closing that wage gap. A woman shouldn't have to choose between being a good mom and advancing her career when often this is not the case for a man because if a man gives more time and effort to a job instead of his family he's seen as a good provider not a bad father.
Sums up a lot of people right now
@@anuaulakh9049 still a mother is mother , no one can provide a mothers warmth . And women doing most of the household chores is not anymore true , these studies are done developed nations ,where both share equal responsibility in house .
@@anuaulakh9049 this is very well put and i love your opinion. What people dont take into consideration like in the video is "choice" .... both mother and father have a role and who cares how they work it out together, i hate how traditional family raising gets bashed from the feminists.
In school we learned about gender pay gap as if it was a fact, but after seeing this video it makes sense now.
Me too and I'm in a good school it's very sad
And that’s because they want you to work rather than lead, my point being they teach people to be job dependant rather than financially independent hence why we have so many full time workers who don’t know what to do when they lose their job as compared to entrepreneurs who are thought to make wealth rather than chase it, sad part is we only realize this later on once we are 30 or something where we are so into the system that we just don’t wanna move out of it.
But if the average women earns less than the average man doesnt that mean there technically is a gender wage gap? Just not for the reasons the left thinks?

Google did a study in thier own business and found out they were paying women more 😂
Actually, the Google study was too simplistic. To give a more accurate picture, the study should also examine gender bias in promotion and how Google determines the employment level an employee is assigned. The study was limited to a specific type of pay equity and does not take into account other factors like leveling, which considers whether new employees are paid appropriately at the outset of their career at the company.
@@haydid I can’t debunk it.... because the video is private
A consequence of an implicit bias. It does work both ways.
Lol no way that’s gold
I must be a bad employer. I don't even pay the men the same wage for the same job. I have some men earning less than woman, some earning more. It simply depends how they perform at work. Do well = higher pay.
What do you call perform well?, some people will have difference in that.
@@SlutGdanteChosenOneSwinger14 Basically productivity, the more better quality product you produce the better the earnings. In sales - more contracts, in design - good concepts, in programming - cleaner bug free code. Just to quote a few examples.
@@will8641 Depends on the job, in manufacturing most jobs in manufacturing is done with machines. Very little is done with someone doing the product, some manufacturing jobs. Are done with more someone doing the product, but that is very small.
For me perform well is, someone that gets to work on time most days, does a lot of work most days, basically that's it. If they want they can call escorts and bang them on the job, but that's sometimes. Most of the time is doing work.
@@SlutGdanteChosenOneSwinger14 You are either missing the point or just winding me up. There are very valid reasons for a pay difference but gender is not one of them.
@@will8641 Yeah there is a difference, I posted why I would give a pay difference. But some people have difference in what performance well is.
give this woman a promotion right now

Thank you lord for making this video!!!!
Amen for that quote!!
Thing is , common sense has been missing for a long long long time.

That is hilarious. The only problem is this video is a long false narrative. It is handily proven wrong by the very information cited in the video. I guess they have a very poor opinion of the intelligence of people who watch their videos. Or they just think you are lazy and won't notice their lies. Check the site...it proves statistically the exact opposite of what she is saying. www.aauw.org/files/2016/09/Figure-9_fall2017-web-1.jpg
There is a wage gap for child’s and adults, I only get paid 10 cents every-time I throw the garbage outside. These adults get paid 700 a day, now that is a huge wage gap...
Lol
You are getting paid?
In my time we had to fight against wolfs and climb the Everest to throw the garbage, for free!
Just had a disagreement with a female I work with, and explained to her that it's already against the law to people differently based on gender, and her response was "We will agree to disagree". Too many people go off of false truth and feelings instead of facts and evidence.
Being against the law doesn't always prevent things from happening. Discrimination in the workplace is very difficult to prove because an employer can easily point to a laundry list of other reasons for pay disparities and it's virtually impossible to definitively prove how much work someone is doing and that sort of thing.
@@Spironic "Being against the law doesn't always prevent things from happening." Absolutely correct. This is why I don't understand Democrats who advocate for gun control, as if criminals will say "Oh, no guns allowed. Nvm."
I think what Andrew meant to say is not that laws prevent wage discrimination, but the fact that employers do not automatically pay women less than men. Women, on average, get paid less than men because of personal choices, not systemic sexism.
At least she just said Agee to Disagree instead of yell in your face
Do you guys both earn the same? Probably do lol I would have said we both earn the same amount, wage gap debunked and walked away.
@@angelhr79 They either earned the same or more lmao 😂
"This isn't sexism, it's just common sense." summed it all up in one sentence

It's parts of facts and biased explanations calculated to hide something cleary exists. I think it is more of a harmful belief rather than straight-up sexism? But is surely presented by a sexist. And yes, women can be wrong sometimes just like men

How does this video have 4K dislikes. It’s literally 100% supported by facts and research papers
Because of feminists.
Because the title of the video is "there is no gender wage gap", but than says that there is one. The reasons are unknown. The video does say it is about choice. This is true. What she didn't talk about is why care work is paid so low. Women make choices to go there because of various reasons (society expectations, how you were raised, interest, etc.) It is a fact that the jobs women were meant to do in the past are paid less. And this has to be looked at and one reason can be sexism.
@@strenghsGirl maybe being a nurse is not as difficult and dangerous as mining coal or working in a factory? that definitely cannot be the reason, it must be this evil patriarchy and systematic oppression which are just floating in the air in order to oppress women
@@legasius9358 what makes you think there is a systematical oppression of women?
And yes mine work is more dangerous than carework. Need to be changed if you ask me. What this has to do with care work not being paid good enough (for men and women btw) I do not understand.
The topic also was gender pay gap. Not that men have more dangerous jobs and a higher suicidal rate. This has to change as well and looked into. It is still a different topic.
@@legasius9358 Being a nurse is far more dangerous and essential than being a CEO, but you wouldn't ask that nurses to get paid more than CEO's, would you?
I tried to show this to my mother, whose a pretty hardcore feminist, and she refuses to even watch it, she called me a misogynistic idiot, they're so dug into their opinion that they don't believe the facts even if they're right in front of them.

The entire leftist ideology is playing the victim card no matter what
There is a girl in my school who claims to be feminist. She always brings up the "wage gap" and how it is wrong. When we were having a debate in class I brought up all the points I learned in this video, and she didn't care. She is too hypnotized into believing what she wants to believe, that she can't even think about the idea of there not being a wage gap. After instantly shutting me down before I could finish talking, she went on to say that everyone deserves equal pay, and free speech...
tell her you refuse to let someone silence you just cause they have a luke warm hole between their legs. That'll teach her...
Rowan Mayer I know some people like that, extreme liberals and feminists. Logic is key and that's their loss

hjki hd nope.
The wage gap isn’t created by sexism but by female choices, you are choosing jobs with less money, maybe that’s why you are learning less, common sense
@@Mr.Slinky
Why are jobs that society expects women to work then men paid less?
Also why do women ALREADY EARN LESS then men for the same job ONE YEAR OUT OF COLLEGE?
@@Johncornwell103 Because them type of jobs require less effort and hours.
Men have more testosterone, which means more strength, which means they're more suitable more physically challenging jobs. This data can be seen in another statistic, over 90% of workplace deaths are men.
Women are more empathic which means they're more suitable for mentally challenging jobs, such as counselling.
Mentally challenging jobs require less energy which coincides with pay.
The female ability to handle mentally challenging situations is probably why the majority of suicides are male.
As for jobs like cleaning and cooking; that's actually the result of child custody inequality, favouring women.
Nearly after every divorce, the mother gets full/near full custody of the child, which means more responsibility and less amount of working hours.
No one is forcing you to comply with "traditional gender roles".
If you want to work a higher paying job, then work a higher paying job.
Stop complaining about non existent wage gaps on the internet for no reason just because you're lazy and would rather sit at home eating cheetos while watching videos that promote unhealthy lifestyles and try to normalize women not shaving their legs, and actually go work
@@Johncornwell103 because Jobs that women choose are a little easier than men dominated Jobs.
"this isn't sexism, it's common sense"
Woah, you have to be careful about using common sense with femenists, they don't understand it.

My 7th grade English teacher always made a fuss about the wage gap. Now I can finally prove her wrong.
How did it go?
Cancer HQ no you can't, it clearly says in the video that the wage gap is around 6.6%....
Marissa McDonald might want to watch again Marissa. CHOICE. Men are more likely to take overtime. Most men are working while there are many women working there are more stay at home mothers than stay at home fathers.
There are more men in more of the top paying jobs.
There is no wage gap. It’s a lie.
But if there was one it’d probably be because we’re expected to pay on dates and are forced to pay for child support for children that aren’t ours.
Your 7th grade English teacher is a parasitic Leech on the Government, and a competent 15 year old could take her place. Not to mention She lacks sentience with her vacuous amount of thought
Society expects men to take the extra hours and act as the breadwinner, and for women to support the children. There is still some stigma if the woman takes overtime and the dad stays at home. Even without overt stigma, there is a general expectation that couples will divide labour that way, and expectations guide our thinking and choices. So there are pressures behind these choices.
Also know that women leave a different impressions than men, even if they act in the exact same way. So much of career advancement is making people see you as a "fit" for the role. If you want to command respect, people tend to see men as more authoritative automatically. Plus because the top-paying fields are male-dominated, it can be harder to fit in - and career depends on making your superiors and friends see you as "one of the gang." It doesn't help that the social culture in high-paying business environments tends to focus on sports, attractive women, and alcohol - focused on what seems like a parody of young masculine interests.

How about one rate i.e £5 per hour, £7 per hour for everyone, beginner or experienced regardless of gender or ethnicity. That would be my mode of thinking if I was an employer of a company. Creativity, new ideas, productivity, etc are probably examples of maintaining good stable business sense and of course keeping up with endless amount of bills, week in, week out.
Communism never works. Lets say a professors class argues for communism. So he started grading them according to communism, taking the average score of the entire class and giving it to everyone. So if Sally got a 10 and jill got a 5, while jack got a 7. The whole class would be given a 7. Eventually the Sallies of the class decided it was unfair that they work hard and study to get a 10, while the Jills just sat on their asses and passed because of Sallies work. The Sallies decided to become Jills, soon to be followed by the jacks and eventually the entire classes average dropped to a 5 because nobody was studying under the expectation that someone else would score high and the whole class was failed.
Pay people what they are worth based on supply and demand. Equal pay results in no motive for high quality and always ends in poverty.
I’ve operated, consulted for and owned various businesses. Like most entrepreneurs, administrators, consultants and executive, my focus was; hiring persons who were smarter than I was (less for me to do) and maximizing profits. If I could have hired women and paid them less than men for the same job, I would NEVER have hired men. The fact that men have these ‘overpaid’ jobs and are even hired is contrary to any bottom-line consideration. And that is the big lie in all this.
There are few reasons, why women actually could earn less:
- women are more likely to take sick leaves, compared to men;
- women are less likely to work extra hours, compared to men;
There was one example of business, that attempted to hire women only. Turns out that workplace becomes toxic and nothing can be done.
I've been an accountant for a long time and seen a lot of payrolls. The wage gap is complete hooey. I've seen LOTS of cases where women make more than men in the exact same job.
but you understand how exceptions don't make a trend? and the trend is that women make less in the same job, even if it is less than 23c less ?
@@joshmuir8058There is no trend. Have you examined numerous payrolls yourself? I have and there is no evidence. Google even did a study recently to rectify the injustice of women engineers making less than men only to discover it was the men making less. It is impossible to fix something that isn't broken but the lie is perpetuated anyway.
@@robertd9850 You are right that women earn a negligible amount less in the same position as men (about 1% [1]). It was silly of me to assert otherwise since I know for a fact that almost all of the pay gap occurs due to more structural (less obvious) discrimination that affects women's choice of career, the hours they can work in that career, the likelihood of asking for a raise and other barriers.
You are certainly correct in your assertion.

So I'm a woman engineer, and I'm in an interesting situation where my husband is also an engineer, we graduated from the same college in the same year with the same degree, and started working at the same company, so we get to compare salaries. We've had roughly the same salary since we've started (give or take a couple hundred). It seems like it's the child-bearing age that really starts the divide since the woman is expected to give up her work for a bit. We'll see where our salaries end up 10yrs from now!
@@cek-wu7ql You would have an easier time resuming a career than he would. Men are not expected to take time off for a kid and, especially in STEM fields, women are are usually given hiring and promotion preference, all other things being equal. Biden even specifically said he would pick a black woman for VP. Not the best candidate regardless of race and gender, but a black female specifically. Other companies, especially big tech companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, etc., will always take the white male last among the choice of equally qualified candidates.

Last year during my senior year of highschool, we had a test in my economics class, one of the questions was what are the reasons for the gender wage gap, I wrote that is doesnt exist, my teacher failed me
oOooOoooOoOoopF
Well, you could have put the points that prove the pay gap is nonsense such as the women working less than men, the men being more likely to ask for raises and promotions, or the fact that men take less vacation days than women. They probably would've still failed you, but at least you could possibly take it up with a superior of the teacher.
Your ECONOMICS class? Holy shit, your teacher should be fired. Economics and business are very lucrative and demanding college majors. The fact that she would spread misinformation is disgusting.
I'm glad our economics teacher didn't push such myths as part of our education.

@@Johncornwell103 yes it is companies do illegal things, so paying women less would quite obviously be something they would do, right? So why hire men in the first place? You took an example of a completely different crime and compared it to this one. While those crimes are ones that are cheaper and benefit the company, hiring men with a wage gap would not benefit the company in any way.

In Australia we have the (tax payer funded) Workplace Gender Equality Agency. On two separate parliament hearings, they were proud to announce that their statistics did not account for differences in:
- Hours worked.
- Professions chosen.
- Industry sectors chosen.
- Seniority/performance for the same job.
- Maternity leave.
They also admitted that they did not compare whether men and women were paid the same for the same job (given its illegal to pay men and women differently).
When this was pointed out, their explanation was that this is not how the "gender paygap" is assessed internationally (or by their own standards), and that by simply summing up all male and female pays and dividing it by the median, this was how you would determine the "gender paygap", despite its flaws. When it was called out, they just did not seem to understand how this was a blatant miss-use of data and statistics because they were following an "international model" (which is clearly developed that way to arrive at the conclusion they want). Not to mention that if they did compare it fairly, their own agency (jobs) would cease to exist.
Also worth mentioning that the WGEA argue for the importance of "Diversity" while their own employees are made up of 80% 40+ white women, and only 20% males.

Hamsterwheel "feminists" be like: *logic overload*
The 23 cent gap is a bit of a joke , though there are quite a few studies with a far smaller wage gap. Not entirely sure about this unexplained wage gap, probably a percent or 2 at most. Also it's worth remembering media and systemic bias can influence people's career choices, not that it excuses feminazis preaching the 77% crap.
Actually women have a 2 to 1 advantage over men in scoring a job in a STEM field, and have had that for over 5 years now, and yet men dominate women in STEM fields regardless. This isn't systemic bias against women, women just statistically prefer jobs outside of STEM fields.
Cole Ashton let's see the facts, any links to back that up?
I actually took the time to read the Georgetown University study and can confirm that the data presented in this video is 100% accurate.
To explain the 6.6% difference:
1. Men are more willing to work overtime.
2. Women take more time off (maternity leave).
3. Women are less likely to ask for a raise.
4. Other variables.

Anyways, the next day, when the boss told her to do a job that, normally a guy would do, she said, "This is a Mans job."
It's not about equality, it's about having the benefits of Women and Men, without being held accountable for ones own actions.
Why would people dislike this
Feminist: WOW I HATE THIS VIDEO BECAUSE IT SHOWS WOMEN ARE THE SAME AS MEN
*YUZI* feminist dont want equal rights they really want to be in the shoes of men in the 60s
No, it’s actually quite informative. It’s just the fact that men don’t take care of children as often as women do, which sucks but it’s a problem outside of the wage gap.
That's more the root of the issue.
Wrigley Sings not trying to be sexist but women are more emotional than men so they are more fit to take care of a kid than a man. We have come a long way from our start. Men would protect their family and hunt by themselves, while women took care of the child (if there was one) and cooked the animal that the man caught. Women are now able to take jobs and have the same oppurtunities as men, maybe even more, but they are more fit to care for the child than a man.
Wrigley Sings In families men are more likely to be the breadwinners and women are more likely to take care of the children. How is that an issue? Both of them are taking care of the kids except usually the dad takes care of them with money and the mom does it with nurturing.

It is real and is a problem. It is just more complicated than politicians let on. It is not simply women being paid less. it is the fact that mothers have more child-rearing responsibilities than fathers. It is more of a Work-life balance and cultural issue than something we can really fix with policy.

@@ShadowMcSneaky it depends on the person. My og comment was a bit reductive, but the point being that if you don't compensate people adequately they have no incentive to improve or do competent work. Paying them more for doing a good job will make it far more likely that they'll continue to do a good job and get better at it. Conversely, not paying them more if they improve is more likely to make them not try improving anymore.

So 7% is a myth?
@@eviploner250 yup its just individual choice men and women make. men tend to choose high paying majors than women and women tend to choose the least paying majors than men i think because almost all high paying jobs are really dangerous and really stressful physically and mentally just take nursing for example male nurses earn 18% more the female nurses why male nurses gravitate to the best paying nursing specialties they work long hours and disproportionately find jobs in cities with the highest compensation they are more wiling to relocate if they find a work place that pays higher.
There are many things that people at PragerU say that are just ridiculous but I 100% agree with this video. The wage gap is not a wage gap. It's an earnings gap caused by life choices. If women were paid less than men for the same job, then literally every job would be occupied by women.

I thought it didn't exist
Women are also more likely to take maternity leave, take time off to care for a sick child and even permanently quit working to take care of their children while their husband continues to work. It probably makes companies hesitant to spend money on training someone who is more likely to leave.
One thing it also doesn’t take into account is performance at work.
She is absolutely 100% correct
Because there isn`t anything like accounting and HR and no numbers to look at. Witch position would be the myth here? You think, nobody really knows or what!?
No she's not. women still lag behind their male coworkers by 7%, rather than 22%, after controlling for age, education, and years of experience, and there’s a 27% difference in total pay between men and women.
Gomer Pyle no, because greedy assholes get all the votes & the Working Poor don't get the votes. That's why the wage Gap will never go away!
holy shit ben, you have NO idea how far down the *SJW* rabbit hole you are.

Should have played this video
Zantar 16+ It's always the ugly ones isn't it. I wonder if that has something to do with ugly people having low self-esteem, making them prime targets for people who tell them "it's not your fault"
Birki gts Could very well be.
The issue is not that women are paid less, it's that we value traditionally "masculine" jobs more than "feminine" ones. Teachers, nurses, and caretakers are seen as less valuable than engineers, scientists, and other "masculine" careers. Ultimately, both women and men should have the freedom to choose a career without having to think of preserving their masculinity or femininty. We need both men and women in teaching. We need both men and women in engineering. We need both men and women in the military. We just have to work together.
Agreed. The 'wage gap' is not a problem that can be solved through legislation or by any individual company's hiring practices, it's a social issue. Until society values social services and is willing to pay the taxes to support higher salaries for teachers and social workers and counselors, there will be no change. And the video didn't even touch on things why men have the freedom to work long hours and be on call, which is frequently because they have a wife at home taking care of house and family. She sacrifices her career for his. Sure, that's still a choice, but it's a choice which is often made because it is easier and more socially acceptable for women to take on that role.
@Vladimir Rusev I don't know how to tell you this, but a lot of women actually want to work in science or the military. It's not a crazy concept.
I don't want to sound sexist. but yes there is no wage gap. There is a gap in performance, however. you can't expect to make a ton of money when you barely show up to work, and even when you do, do a shitty job at work. also, it sometimes depends on WHERE you work. You can't expect to work as a cashier at McDonalds and make 60,000 a year. that's just my side of the argument.
I can't believe that we have had to make this video so many times. People are idiots.
Including Obama, who was US president.
Eldar K nah, he's just a figurehead. Doubt that he actually believes half the shit he has to say to not lose support
William Everman there is a wage gap, but just how much of a wage gap is unclear at this time. But it does exist and the good news is it's shrinking steadily.
I think many feminist women know the truth but don't want to lose this false privilege, after all they like free stuff
Takashi just like minorities who don't actually want racism to end entirely because it's easier to blame white people for everything & prey on their guilt.
Disclaimer: i am not saying all minorities think this way. i'm only referring to the ones that do. And i'm tired of getting painted as a villain in my own country for something i never did! when did white christians become enemy #1? 😞
"But, muh wage gap-"
The wage gap is simply the average earnings of men and women working full time. It does not count for different job positions, hours worked or different jobs. It has nothing to do with the same job. It has nothing to do with discrimination.
0nsho

Ah yes, mama June
I am proud to be the 69th like on this beautiful Shoe0nHead quote
that´s from ShoeOnHead :v
The wage gap button
1:19 "Actual wage gap shrinks to only 6.6 cents when you factor in different choices men and women make."
1:27 "The small wage gap that does exist has to do with differences in individual career choices."
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE STUDY ACCOUNTED FOR!!!
No, it didn't. The study doesn't account for primary career choices for women against men. It accounts for the variables between men and women that involves them both in any specific career to see if there is an actual wage gap ie in the medical sector if you compare a specific type of male doctor against that of a female doctor doing the same job. Once all these have been factored, the remaining difference is purely based upon PRIMARY career choices by women and the income potential to that of men. eg women choosing to become nurses whereby men primarily becoming dcotors.
@@Sid_2007 Fine, so there's a second study showing that the wage gap shrinks further? That's great, but why don't we get to see it? It does seem like the second argument is still based on the first study - that study didn't account for primary career choices, but when factoring all other things, wage gap shrunk to 6.6%. Therefore, surely, if we factor primary career choices, it will go to 0%. That's the argument, if I'm being benevolent. But that's not a good argument, because it lacks that second study.
@@Richard_is_cool The false statistic is due to many differences between the genders, not just the primary one shown in this video. I choose to believe that the rest is accounted for or almost all accounted for by the difference in how often women will ask for raises compared to men (which is ~7% less in most studies), due to men being more genetically aggressive - thus making them more assertive.
@@elliotvanderploeg7744 "Choose to believe" is, and sorry for being so cheeky, probably a good way to introduce that.
I already knew it was fake. I explained it was fake and backed up my points with evidence. Yet we OF COURSE have people saying that disproving something means you are sexist. Seriously. I just showed them this and they shut up to me. Says exactly what I've tried to say.
