I mean from an economic point of view, if you could legally get away with paying your worker 78% of what you normally pay, wouldn't you just hire a ton more women? You'd make more money overall by just hiring women.
Hooters Hype
The wage gap does not exist.
Catherine it really does
I sold my soul to youtube No it doesn't. Cite an independent study that proves it.
***** First off, you have very few credible resources and the ones that were credible like the Bureau of Labor Stats were flawed in that they did not account for hours works per week. They only covered median salary, the job, and the percentage of women and men in that job. They did not go by specific companies worked in, what they paid their employees and there aren't even confidence intervals for the hypothesis. Every single "study" that you named is flawed or askew with incorrect data. Hours worked, quality of that work, and if someone is getting a bonus or even a pay raise for number of years in that work or doing a good job is all not included in any of those studies.
Pay based on gender is fucking ridiculous.
Maybe because it does not exist. Look it up on Google for 5 minutes.
It's exists in some places
Katie Davids Domain Actually I come from a 1st world country (Australia) where there is an approximate 16% gender pay gap. In fact, not only does the gender pay gap exist, it is also rising. In most of the world women suffer from unequal pay because of their gender. So, yes, it is f**king ridiculous.
BTW, try looking up these facts on Google (I might need a refresher on the exact pay gap.)
Ally Pitt Yh, It is good to look up facts before you go into an argument. There ARE studies that say that men out-earn women. But this is disingenuous, especially the way Buzzfeed has presented it. There are laws that you would be breaking by giving a woman, in the exact same position as a man "78%" of what the man earns. You would be in jail. This is like me saying "black people are more violent than white people in america." This is true but it doesn't take into account the fact that black people grow up in poorer areas. Also you claim "its rising", no it isn't. Younger woman in their 20s are out-earning men, but you don't see the outcry there, because I guess people account for the factors in that situation. Also, i'm not sure if my first comment was even relevant. Does MegaGardevoir mean that paying people more because of who they are is ridiculous, or do they mean that the "Gender Pay Gap" is a ridiculous idea?
(Edit: "?")
Davids Domain Yet people are breaking these laws and not getting called out for it. The fact is that the gender pay is paying people more or less based on their gender, whether it is consciously or subconsciously. I did state where I come from and I will repeat (Australia), where the pay gap is rising. Quoting the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) "New data shows gender pay gap has risen. New data from the ABS shows that the gender pay gap has hit 18.8 per cent, a record high since this data began to be collected in 1994." There are studies that show single women who live in a single household out earn men in their respective age range, but the far majority of women either live with someone else or are married, so this is not really relevant. I do understand where you are coming from, with the laws, but the issue with that argument is that laws like these are difficult to enforce.
Sure it's been illegal to pay a woman less than a man since 1963 but let's ignore facts
I edited this comment so no one knows why everyone got so pissed at me (tbh i don't really know)
GingerStarburst if women get paid less than men? Why not just employ women? Plus, just because you do the same job, doesn’t mean you put in the same effort, hours and time into it as the other gender. :)
You know where people do meth? In secluded and hidden away places.You know where checks are given out?
In places easily noticeable by the government or any law enforcing agents
Wait, wage gap do exist though.
Women on my job gets paid more than me, a male, and I work even more.
Wonder why...
the wage gap isnt real
As phineas and ferb would say: “discovering something that doesn’t exist”
Gru that is great
This made me laugh. Excellent comment.
Twitter after "discovering" the 19654th gender
Maybe BuzzFeed should do 78 seconds of research before making a video.
Slict 43 They only did a minute of research for every 78 seconds you did, lol.
SpectrumUK I don't understand how people can completely overlook the hundreds of studies that debunk the wage gap and focus on the one that supports it, the one that only takes average pay for women vs average pay for men. Job, education, time worked, etc. were all ignored in that study.
Slict 43 They could've busted the myth with 7.8 seconds of research.
Slict 43 That study doesn't support it either. One just has to read more than the first page.
***** Good observation, they do use the Karl Pilkington research method.
If you have to give less money to a woman worker, why are men still being employed?
Znawca Bigosu because men are better at everything
A Person yes, but they justify it just on sexism
Znawca Bigosu Why wouldn't they be?
John Guy because that would cost you 22% more?
Theyll actually do 100% of the job
Wait until they realise that the "wage gap" is pretty complex but I think they only did 78% of their work when studying the "wage gap"
Nice
Good one 🤣
More like 22%
And men they get paid more by not even worrying that they will not paid full for the work they do but women they do they even get paid half of what she does
Zing
I literally can't find a single positive comment why do I feel like the likes aren't legit
Not a pro gamer I was wondering that too. Usually the like ratio mirrors the comments. Unless of course they're buying likes.
Lol same
Here: Today was a good day because I have a job where I get paid more than my male co workers. Do you know why? Cause I'm self employed.
They say that "no news is good news".
I meamt to dislike but your comment made me double check and I guess I accidentally liked it. Not used to disliking videos so maybe it slipped my mind.
Buzzfeed is the type of "company" that would purposely pay the women less just to prove a point.
Tru
I bet this is just acting and that buzzfeed doesn't have a wage gap
this is not even a real company buzzfeed is just roleplaying ya know
obviously not, women would quit then
So you're saying there is no such thing as a wage gap? I mean it gets claimed all the time it must be true.
I feel like this video should be called "How to get *_fired_* from your job "
EDIT: I still believe the wage gap is wrong.
Dracstar It doesn't existwww.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/epa.cfm
104DudeCS you know it's easy to not follow the law or come up with an excuse to pay a women less right?
Animemaniacish Not only that but the "wage gap" statistics don't take profession, experience, or work hours in to consideration, skewing the data.
Smart boss will not fired their more talented and smarter employee even she's women.
TulangTele but if the smartest employee is acting out like she did, I don't think the bosses would hesitate before firing her.
I love how all the comments are smart people saying the wage gap is fake. THANK YOU PEOPLE!
You're welcome?
Instead of acting and passing obnoxious judgement like you know more than the people here GOOGLE and do some research... condescending dummie
It is fake dubmass

"you're gonna make the same if you do as good a job"
- D.Trump
This, by law, cannot happen, if this is happening, then iris illegal, and you can take your employers to court for it.
+(InsertNameHere) It happens, sorta, but it's by state, not by gender.
True story, fake names.
WOPR (me) is a boy
My friends Cherry and Plum are girls
We all get jobs working at Round Table Pizza as preppers. First jobs, all fresh out of high school, we are equal people, working equal jobs.
WOPR, in California makes $9.00/hour
Cherry in California makes $9.00/hour
Plum in Idaho makes $2.13/hour
+Rory Mackinnon There are several ways for an employer to get out of this, you know that as well as i do. However I believe its a primitive way of working and simply doesn't happen anymore/98% of the time. For example I recently started a new job and I was made aware I get paid roughly about 35-30% more than everyone else (mixed genders). However a girl started with me, who is 5 years younger than me (im 27) and with less experience is paid the exact same.
In all honesty if i was female and i found out i was being paid unfairly because of that I wouldn't use it to get more money I'd use it to learn that the company is unethical and i wouldn't want to work for them anyway. It would be a lesson I didn't know i was paying for. For example, if you relised you were being paid less for being a woman and you got a rise to the same as a male for threatening them, would you honestly really want to stay there? I as a male wouldn't either, if my employer did that to a woman.
This is not what the wage gap is, it actually means that ALL WOMEN in the U.S earn 78% of what ALL MEN in The U.S do. The main reason for this is because big business is dominated by men, only 5% of Fortune 500 ceos are women. It doesn't mean if Bob has a job for a pool cleaning service, and earns $10 an hour, and Jill had the same job, and same hours that she would earn $7.80 and hour.
+Simeon Spaulding shut up. Obviously not.
+Simeon Spaulding you know that asian women are making more money than hispanic men and black men in comparison
By the way, the 78% is based on average income across all industries and all people (including overtime hours, which men tend to work more of), not the way buzzfeed shows it. It is a myth that the 78% is comparing a male in a specific job to a female in the same specific job
Alex Hutcheson *at least in Canada and the US, I can't speak for other areas
Actual gab is more or less 95%
Alex Hutcheson I only get payed 80% compared to a male co-worker with the same job but its the fact that a pay gap even exists that bugs me. It shouldn't exist at all whether it be 80% or 95%. Am I only 80% as valuable as my male co-worker?
kayla zehner just because you work at the same job does not mean you are worth the same amount to the company
kayla zehner my mom owns a vet business along with a male and she takes 60% home and he takes %40. That does not mean that women make more than men. There are way more factors than "we do the same job, so we should get the same pay" that is what communism is
"I only make 78% of that? That's so weird we have the same job!"
No you don't. If you did, then paying a male significantly more for the same role with the same qualifications and experience would be illegal and highly unethical. Are you trying to empower women to copy you and lose their own jobs?
Just another example of Buzzfeed's lack of nuance in their treatment of issues.

@@luciledh8534 have you done any research?

This dosen't happen everywhere but different men and women are really paid different if the boss likes him or her better
I know that pay inequality probably true but if women are only played 78% of what men are payed, why don't companies just hire women...
How old are you
That's actually a good question, why don't they?
Because even as most feminists put it, there isn't really a pay gap. I'm all for equality but the difference in pay isn't a result of simply what sex you are.

What are they Phineas and Ferb?
Ba dung tiiiiinnnggg🥁
Is this still a fuckin thing? What are those politicians doing??????
No it's not.
These data doesn't take into account position in the company or how long they been in the company or the hours they work. Men do get paid more for the same job, they get paid more because they have jobs that pays more money or because the work more hours. You can ask why aren't there more women getting promotions but no, man do not get paid more for the same job
Politician are just clown. The way men see women should be changed. Men should not afraid of smart and talented women.
Men are not afraid of smart talented women, and it's illegal to pay discriminate. The wage gap is due to mens and women's different career choices. Men die at the workplace 9 times more than women do. And for that they only on average get paid 22 cents more?
But let's forget that inconvenient fact. Half truths are much easier to use for our own self-serving feminist agenda!
spinosauruskin Are you serious? Even if it's illegal that doesn't mean it doesn't still happen. Don't blame the feminist movement for bs that still goes on today.
No. The wage gap is a myth. Politicians like Obama perpetuate this lie to get the support of feminists.

LOL you got it backwards, you were already doing only 78% of the work, so you got 78% of the pay.
Right because now she's doing 61% of the work. Instead she should have worked 128% of the work to be paid what she earns and be paid the same as a man. I don't think feminists can understand math.

If businesses really paid women less, wouldn't businesses only hire women because it would cost less?
If there is a gender wage gap, it isn't anywhere near 22%
idiocy995 Narrows does not mean eliminate.
Matt Matton No, I don't think that "fact" is 100% true. I'm just saying, the pay gap is probably less wide then many believe it to be.
DANGUS its less than 1% and swings both ways
They think men have better skills so want to hire someone with better skills, to make theyre business grow
Brilea Rose On the contrary, businesses want to hire unqualified women more than qualified men sometimes because it makes their business look better, not because of the skills.
I'm sure both cases happen though, and both are wrong
its ok, now she will make 0 cents for every dollar her co workers make, because she would be fired.
martinshoosterman If she found out about her boss paying her less than her male co-worker for the same work then she should just keep quiet about it and continue working normally right? She shouldn't get all angry and confrontational just because she's getting paid 78 cents to a dollar! Why would anyone in their right mind want to stay in a job that violates the law and pays you less for the work you do anyway? Frankly if she found that out, she should expose their wrongdoings and take them to court for it. How else will problems like these be solved?
ChiChister Qian you can pay your employs as much or as little as you want. she could only sue them if she had definitive evidence that she was being paid less BECAUSE she is female. and that is almost impossible to get. anyways I hope you do know that the wage gap is not accually 78 cents per dollar in america. that is just the gross ratio of what the average woman makes per year compared to the average man, without taking into account what job, how many hours, or anything else. but she could go to her boss and ask her why she is being paid less.
martinshoosterman
In the company I work at, we are told not to talk about our pay cause it was decided on personal agreements. So any 5 people doing the same job could have 5 different payments based on their starting agreement, their time at the company, their efficiency, personal relations (yeah that's a thing) etc. Gender is NEVER in that calculation. Maybe she should get a new job?
ChiChister Qian actually, according to the equal pay act, if she REALLY was getting paid less by discrimination (gender, race, religion, etc,) then she could sue the company and get a shit ton richer, instead of acting like a baby in this video, lmao. the thing is, with other factors setting in, she isn't really getting paid less due to discrimination, so her lawsuit would flop and she would get fired, lol
Frozen AYCE it is impossible unless she literally gets a recording of her boss saying im paying you less because you are a girl, to prove that she is being paid less because of discrimination. her lawyers would try and get her compensation through settlement by threatening to bring the suit to the press, giving the company bas rep. to which the company will either settle, or more likely hire a couple girls and promote some girl who is working there. to show the media that she was just a terrible worker, then publicly fire her resulting in her not only losing the law suit, but never being able to find another job.
simply thats what happens when you get greedy.
One woman discovers why she EARNS less.

the wage Gap is the average pay for men and women on full-time work. It does not correlate to ours and it does not correlate to the job done. It has nothing to do with the same job.

Shoe0nHead's wage gap button 😁
+StuffAndThangss _ I need one.
Exactly! People always cite that stupid 78% wage gap statistic but the truth is that women overall have lower-paying jobs than men. It has nothing to do with equality, the actual wage gap for women and men in the same job with the same qualifications is about 4-5%. Also women make up for that gap anyway because they get more paid maternity leave (not in the US tho you twats don't even provide paid maternity leave)
Thanks for explaining.

Random person you wouldn't want to have to do the extra work just to get less out of it
maybe the woman earns less BECAUSE SHE WORKS LESS???
dunderducky yeah that's the joke. It's irony. Since she's been paid less she starts only going around 78% of her job so it matches her pay.
she was paid less to who? you know, maybe the work experience and the work role have something to do with her getting paid less. You know that the wage gap is EARNINGS gap, not PAYING gap? she EARNS less, but she still is PAID the same amount as anyone else who has the same experience and is doing the same work. The reason why the average pay gap is favoring men is because they work for more (as well as other factors but keep it simple) they don't literal get paid more, they earn more.
dunderducky Actually there are people who are paid less based on the same statistics (relative age, work experience, and job). Either way, whether you believe in the average pay gap due to earning or not, the point of the video is to make the wage gap ironic by showing how silly it'd be if we actually started working as paid.
Aryiana Moore "Actually there are people who are paid less based on the same statistics (relative age, work experience, and job)." what about gender? i think that is the purpose of the video, its not to show how ironic it would be. Its trying to push the agenda that women are supposedly paid less for the same job which is a lie that has been debunked too many times.
dunderducky I'm sorry I assumed you understood let me rephrase:
Actually there are women who are paid less than men based on the same statistics (relative age, work experience, and job). The gender is not the same which is the whole point of the video. And I think you're wrong about the video because it's obviously comedic irony. In order to show how outrageous the wage gap is, an actor is put in a scenario where she only works the percent she is being paid to work in comparison to one of her counterparts in the work force. It's like when people publish political cartoons. It's supposed to be a comedic take on an important issue. Just because you don't agree with the issue doesn't mean it's not ironic suddenly because you, one individual, say so.
"The wage gap is simply the average earning of men and women working full time it does not count for different job position hours worked or different jobs it has nothing to do with the same job, it has nothing to do with discrimination"-

That's not how the earnings gap works.
STOP. BEFORE YOU COMMENT!
Go and research into the wage gap. Right now. Its not hard. Just read a few legit articles or look at how the surveys are done, look at the data. Then come back and make an informed comment, so you don't look ill informed. It doesn't take much to see that its not due to discrimination. Question yourself if you haven't done any damn research.
Vixolent forget it man, being informed is SO hard, my god, who has time for 5 minutes of research!? NOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO we're all gonna be nice and ignorant instead, yelling "PAAATRIARCHY" and "WAAAGE GAP" every chance we get.

There is no wage gap
TheNewsFlashTV nah there is. But not of sexual discrimination against women. It’s around 4-7% and it’s because of smaller but important variables. Every small but important and there’s a lot of variables to factor. Not saying I’m siding that there is a wage gap. I’m siding that there is a wage gap because of small variables that has nothing to do with sexism.
@@stopplayingyourtomandjerry9788 cough cough *men work harder than women* cough cough
Mr.Strange Person I’m aware.
right as Allison hung up the phone my internet crashed
I'm an accountant and I have access to a lot of HR and payroll data.
I rarely see any wage gap purely due to gender: same company, same job, comparable experience & education = same hourly wage. We have (mostly female) HR administrators to make sure of that.
I do notice, in entry level non-specialized jobs, males are willing to accept lower wage than females for the same position, due to competition.
However, it's true that more males are currently working in high paying positions: such as senior management (20+ years experience and winners of cut-throat competition), very specialized technical positions, extensive overtime & travel related jobs, hazardous and dangerous work environments.
Bigger Corporations actually have social pressure to hire females for these positions, and usually end up hiring one or two under-qualified female worker to diversify the team. And as a result, adding more workload and stress to their male co-workers.

Man...
This is a great fantasy story
It's true that women earn (roughly) 17% less than man overall, per year, in the US.
Here's the shocker: if you account educational background, specific field of study, field that you work in, and your position at your job, the wage gap goes down to 1-2%.
Of course, that's still more than there should be - but then you have to account for the studies that show that women tend to undersell themselves on resumes, and tend to ask for a lower starting salary, as well as negotiate lower raises.
If you don't believe me, I don't blame you. It's an unpopular "opinion". The myth is *widely* believed. But you can take a look at the studies themselves, and verify what I'm saying here. Or, at the very least, before you simply believe what is said in this video, at least just take a glance at the actual statistics so you know how this number came to be.
and unfortunately, they couldn't include this data in the video, as it would debunk what they are trying to lie about. Hopefully we can get you enough thumbs up to make it to the front page.
We try to tell these people that but they remain insistent that there is inequality, where there simply isn't. Unfortunately, some feminists would rather believe the 78% statistic because, "Women earn 98-99 cents to a man's dollar!" just isn't as provocative.
upgrader99 1-2% is still a wage gap (it doesn't seem to be much an hour but if you add up in years...)
ruclips.net/video/PsB1e-1BB4Y/видео.html
***** that 1-2% discrepancy can go either way. I know for certain in the UK, Women often get paid slightly more than men, and a fair margin more if they are single mothers.
Gregory House M.D. If that is true (what is your source?), I would consider it unfair. If the difference is based on factors like gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity, which have nothing to do with your ability to do your work, the gap should not exist.
If this is true and the difference is based solely on gender, something should be done to fix it, don't you agree?
weird. im in the same position, where i and a woman do the same job, but she earns about 40% more!! should i sue? i mean, i know shes got more experience, been there longer and im fresh out of uni but that dosent matter! equal pay for equal work right? someone with 4 months experience deserves the same as someone with 10 years right? anyone?

It’s not a wage gap, it’s a proven fact that men work more overtime than women so they get paid for overtime. Certain instances have happened where pay was unfair, but that doesn’t mean that’s how every company is. Do there people know about the equal pay act of 1963? Or is that just me?
Interesting. I like the fact she was able to pass her responsibilities, not work any overtime, be disrespectful and do substandard work and she had no fear whatsoever about losing her job.
the like ratio doesn't match the comments at all. what is going on
+Eric B
The idiots who like the video get drowned out by the people who actually have common sense.
+Eric B Feminists are trained to like and never read comments sections as it might be triggering to learn something.
+TrueWOPR OMG HAHAHA
lol its probably bots tbh
+Eric B , that is because they are not all done by real people. The thumbs up on BuzzFeed videos are from a combination of using bots and having multiple accounts here on RUclips.
Man discovers that women have been enslaving men since the dawn of time.
Me and my wife have the same jobs and are paid the exact same?
Esmeralda Garcia OR that's because the wage gap doesn't exist and the .77 to 1 study was flawed.
Travis Huffman it's because the 78% thing is bullshit. The statistic it is based off of states that ON AVERAGE women get payed 78% of what men get payed. It is based on an average, it does not mean that women get payed 78% of what a man gets payed at the same job. This is a common misconception that Buzzfeed is blindly spreading.
Travis Huffman Do I really have to state that not EVERYONE falls under discrimination in the work place? Hence the word "average".
www.topmanagementdegrees.com/women-dont-make-less/ < Spread this link, explains a lot of things.
U guys have the best job ever then
I love how they didn't site sources....because they don't exist.
prying eyes they do exist but the sources dont verify the amount of promotions and the time they worked and the yobs
Lemon grenade, I mean the sources which contain their claims don't exist,. I have read the study to which they think they are referring. It also mentioned that the figure didn't differentiate between those who worked overtime and those who did not, which was another big factor. (Edited)
um so true u have earned one subscriber. and like
prying eyes referring

I use swype to type rapidly on my phone. Google isn't a perfect predictor of what one intends to say, and I don't catch everything.
You don't know what the wage gap is
On average women make 76.5% as men as of 2016
Ceinwen Cooke yeah for doin *less goddamn work*
😂😂😂😂 I love this!!!
Omg it's already statistically PROVEN that women make only 78% of what men make. So in simpler terms, if a male office worker made a dollar every hour, a female office worker would only make 78 cents every hour. I don't understand what's so hard to comprehend. I mean, it really is simple math and reasoning. The wage gap isn't just a couple cents and it isn't just a small issue. If it was as irrelevant as some ignorant fools here believe it to be, I'm pretty sure that women wouldn't be "complaining" about it. "Oh, men work better", "Oh, men are smarter", "We men do all the hard work", "Men are the superior species". Bullshit. Solving this issue isn't exactly rocket science.
These data doesn't take into account position in the company or how long they been in the company or the hours they work. Men do get paid more for the same job, they get paid more because they have jobs that pays more money or because the work more hours. You can ask why aren't there more women getting promotions but no, man do not get paid more for the same job.
Please, you can still be saved, educate yourself
"Men are the superior species"....species... I'm gonna go kill myself now.
(For all of you without a brain, Male and Female are genders)
dumplings1997 Technically that's true if you don't consider profession or work position.
dumplings1997 Judging by your post I'm assuming that you have extremely little work experience and have never needed to physically exhaust your body regularly to keep a roof over your head. You need a MAN to do that for you. When I worked at one particular plywood mill the women were always promoted to junior management positions quickly so they don't have to pull chain or get covered in glue on lay-up because they just couldn't handle it day in/day out indefinitely. I can tell you that in blue collar jobs women are always given preferential treatment and are paid identically (union) or paid more due to qick advancement from physically demanding lower positions. We also share health care costs while women use the benefits most.
52k people forget that paying people different amounts based on gender is illegal
but people still dot it all the time, theres no way for a woman to know without specifically asking a male coworker how much they are paid, which is not appropriate to ask
name one that doesnt
AoSRecon contrary to popular belief, name-calling does not prove your argument any better than having a polite discussion. The obviuos reason why they wouldnt hire all women is because the reason they pay women less is they believe women dont work as hard, and assume all women are going to take maternity leave and take time offf to spend with family. Companies often assume women are not as hardworking or talented in their profession.
Frejito the Emissary of Joy I literally dont even know what the patriarchy is. anyway, the wage gap does take into account women working different jobs and from what I have heard men and women who work the same job are paid differently because the employers expect women to take time off work to care for children and dont try as hard to get raises. even if a man and a woman work the same exact job with the same experience, the woman could earn less because she is expected to work less. as for the "why not hire more women" argument, I honestly think that is the stupidest argument I have ever heard. If companies though women weren't as good as men why would they hire wore women?
***** even teal deer admits that women get paid less because they are more likely to take time off, even if they dont. I believe everything he says, so what you think doesnt really matter
I don’t get payed as much as the person who is working in a higher position than me and idk why
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 signed by John F. Kennedy states that an employer must pay men and women equally for the same work
BuzzFeedFiction
i love buzzfeed BUT i hate the fact its sooo feminist 😒
+Maria Kazazaki why is that a bad thing...? Besides, I think this is supposed to be ever so slightly exaggerated and to be taken with some irony
Amanda Noelle I am sorry but im not speaking for everyone i am speaking for myself and personally i believe feminism is not in favor equality anymore but it is favor of stupid issues like gaming being sexist hair on armpits and other ridiculous matters that shouldnt even bother people in the first place.Furthermore i think sexism applies for both genders and feminists are focusing only on women.I think its truly disrespectful to advertise western women as an oppressed group in society because actually women in western countries are the freest and most liberated women in history.Its disrespectful to the women who live in third world countries and let me tell you these women truly do not have rights at all.
+Maria Kazazaki Not exactly, you may be talking about a movement that has become known as "white feminism" (i.e. feminism that excludes another group). The original goal of feminism was gender equality and was named feminism because females were oppressed as a group. Saying western females can't be upset about inequality because someone has it worse is like saying someone can't be happy because someone else has it better...
Michaela M. I am not talking about "white feminism" or whatever is this anyway...And i never said feminism didn't start as a movement that basically wanted equality between the two sexes.However this has now changed.We,women, in western societies gained the rights we deserve.Western women have lots of benefits in our societies.We are indeed the freest and the most liberated women in history.What exact right women do not have but men have?Tell me at least one.So why are feminists still so unsatisfied?Why feminists do not try to actually HELP women who live in developing countries? Why feminists focus exclusively only in problems related to women and not both sexes?Why feminists spread false information like the so called "wage gap"?Why do feminists 'inspire" women to have a successful career but not to be wifes or mothers as well?Why wanting to be a mother or a wife is "sexist" according to them?Arent women allowed to do both?Work and have a successful personal life as well?
Feminism is wrong in so many levels.
As a man, you go to work. You're fine with that work. You have a female coworker. You both do the same job. You went through the extra work and risk of getting the job by negotiating for a higher paying salarie. You put in the extra work in your interview to earn more money. The woman didn't put that much effort in the interview to get higher pay. Welldone, you both got the job. However you go out of your way to work more hours. You put your life on hold for your career so you can earn more. Your female coworker decides not to put in as many extra hours, instead she is out living her life, having fun, watching movies, going to clubs, visiting family, seeing friends, and so on. You don't get to do that because you want to work extra hours to earn more money. The female worker decides to go on vacation, so leaves. You decide to stay at work to earn more and perhaps raise your pay due to your dedication to the job. A while after, there's a bug going around the office. You and the female coworker fall ill. The female coworker decides she best stay home due to being ill. You decide that you're going to fight through it and still come to work to earn money. Later on, the woman falls pregnant. After the child is born she goes on maternity leave. You're still working. Due to your dedication to your work, you get a raise. You worked hard, took less time off work than your female coworker, spent more time doing more hours than your coworker, and took the initiative to gain a higher starting salary.
Now imagine that. Ok. Imagine the guy in the video went through that, took all that extra work to earn more. While the woman on this didn't and done what was explained here. Then play the video. Essentially what you see is a spoilt woman who was not willing to put the extra work in to the job to earn more where the male worker did and then feel offended by not getting the extra money the man got that she does not deserve yet feels entitled to, therefor does what she done on this video.
What do you see now that I have pointed out these factors? Do you see a strong, empowered woman fighting against the wage gap or do you see a whiny, petty, self-entitled douchebag who isn't willing to put in the extra work her male coworker is yet feels entitled to the same amount of pay he recieves without having to do or sacrifice what the man had to in order to reach that pay?
If the wage gap was real, I'd be hiring only women in my company...
What you've said is just absurd and male chauvinist, since you're giving they guy all the positive features and all the negative to the girl out of nothing. The video is exposing the most unfair case scenario, which is getting paid less for doing the same job, and that (still) happens to women in some places. Besides, you could say the exact same but putting that you're the woman and the "spoiled, blah blah blah" is the man, which not only makes no sense at all but would also be really bitter.
Cali C
No, it's not chauvanist to make assumptions based on the likelihood of who would do what which is demonstrated through statistics. Men are more likely than women to do all of those things, hence why men earn more on average.
It's not chauvanistic to explain why the male coworker would of earned more through statistics.
"And that still happens to women in some places."
- It happens to all sorts of people but it's not a general thing. This isn't exclusively a female issue, men, women, whites, blacks, straights, and gays can suffer from unfair pay, trying to single out women as if it only happens to them, as if it's more important when it happens to them, is sexist. Again, it is not what generally happens and when it does, it's against the law.
Yes, you can say the same in reverse. Women in their 20s out-earn their male peers, which I am sure you were not aware of. I'm sure you won't have a problem with that, though.
No one says it's more important when it happens to women, only that it affects women negatively, that is why that specific way of unfair pay is called gender gap, don't mix stuff in order to debate an idea. Besides, gender gap takes into account the number of hours, so that "men work more hours thing" is not a matter of discussion here (and even that can be argued).
What I found chauvinistic is that you just created that hypothetical scenario where the girl's a total asshole and the guy some sort of saint out of nowhere when the video had nothing to do with that.
And no, I was not aware of that 20s out-earn, but if that's a result of gender gap of course it is unfair. And you know what, assuming that I would support unfair pay to men THAT is sexist. Sorry you are so bitter...
Cali C
No, you're not understanding what I'm saying. Everyone can be unfairly paid negatively, it happens to people of any group. I'm saying it generally does not happen. And no, most studies do not factor in all the factors when it comes to the wage gap, like maternity leave, sick days, and how men negotiate for higher salaries far more.
So you found it chauvanistic for me to involve a hypothetical scenario where the girl's a total asshole in a hypotherical scenario where her male boss is a totall asshole? So people are allowed to make hypotherical scenarios paining men ass assholes but not women? Fire with fire. If you can't deal with the heat then don't play with fire.
Sorry that you got dumped at prom and that's why you hate men.
If u work the same hours then you’ll get paid the same.
Commander Zavala not always. Take into account the other factors like(but not limited to) experience, productivity, work ethic, overtime, withheld taxes, bonuses, promotions, bonuses, etc.
One woman misunderstands averages
how to: get fired
Anna Kamilla Hlynsdóttir correction: she did what her entitled attitude made her do
the wage gap isnt real. the different choices that men and women make was the reason why the wage gap “exists”. Men choose higher-paying jobs and women choose lower-paying jobs, SO ITS WOMENS FAULT. both men and women had the choice to go to any job but they chose the job that THEY WANTED. just so happens that men like higher-paying jobs so yeah.
YOU CANNOT LEGALLY PAY SOMEONE LESS THAN OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE OF GENDER! IT IS AGAINST THE LAW THIS IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE WAGE GAP! The wage gap is caused by different values men and women have about taking time off, maternity leave, personal days and more. Also, women generally pick lower paying jobs, that is a fact. These are just the average facts. It is unlawful to pay someone less based on their gender, race, etc.
Meggy Peggy
Yes, the Equal Pay Act of 1963 ensures this! I can't believe some people actually believe a person is paid less than another person simply based on their gender!
Meggy Peggy just because it’s unlawful doesn’t mean people don’t do it.. murder is illegal yet people die every day.
Are murdered every day*
Chloe Marstiller If it was unlawful and yet they got away with it, they would mostly hire women because they could pay them less. But they don't, because they can't. If a woman is being paid less than her male counterpart who has worked the same job for the same amount of time with the same experience and capabilities, then she can sue.
“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.”
Title shoud be, “One Woman discovers something that doesn’t exist.”
I would just fire her for doing that. She could actually address the problem instead of passive-aggressively being a jerk about it.
If only there was an Equal Pay law passed on June 10th, 1963. Then this wouldn't exist!
More like women finds out how to get fired.
ohhzing slime lmao what? You get paid to work the hours they assign you. Anyways gender wage gap doesn’t exist www.washingtonexaminer.com/harvard-prof-takes-down-gender-wage-gap-myth
@ohhzing slime When you just do 78% Work you don't do your work at all.
When you quit in the middel of your work you didn't do your work so you did 0%
You can either do your job, or not. There isn't a middel
@ohhzing slime Sure but she obviosuly didn't do 78%. She did maybe 20%. If you quit every single job during the middle, the job is unfished and thus not done.
I feel like all of the replies go wooshed
If most of the companies were owned by women and paid men less would you say the same thing on the top of that if men were even supposed to do all the household work for which the don't even get paid and women would be supposed to only do the office work don't do any household work and work less and still get paid more, and men have to take leave to look after children and home and women don't need to take leave for that so they get paid more and men less for working more than too would you say the same thing
You have a typo in the title. It's spelled "wamen".
THE WAGE GAP DOES NOT EXIST!
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 would make this scenario impossible. ACLU will have her back for free and will score a resounding win.
Yes, the scenario would be illegal because of the act, but you know what else is illegal, meth. You know what people still do, meth.
Anna Saluzzo Still no evidence of a conspiratorial epidemic to pay women less based on their gender. I know you're not saying that, but still.

Wage Gap, I think not
And that's why the wage gap is a myth
Anna Saluzzo and you know what happens when people get caught they get punished.
But..... She worked 78% hard.... So thats why shes payed 78%.... This video just prooved its own point wrong
@Anna Kamilla Hlynsdóttir Doesn't make sense what you are saying
Anna Kamilla Hlynsdóttir he’s trying to say women on average work less which is where the statistic came from.
Women are paid less. Female dominated careers are lower paying, in general. This is because many jobs underpay their employees.
@Anna Kamilla Hlynsdóttir it was a flash back to show why she was paid less. Not to show she works less because she was paid less.
SlowFox As a group..kinda
When played backwards this video is actually far more accurate to reality.
All the people saying wage gap is illegal and unethical.....I admire how much you give big companies and corporations the benefit of the doubt.
re-name the tittle. "different ways to get fired"
Why are there so many likes on this video?
goaliedude32 I know. So many more likes than dislikes. Talk about a truly underserved inequality!
Sathrandur
I think it's the way you worded it, I'm not sure the point you're trying to make
goaliedude32 Well the topic is inequality and clearly this video deserves AT LEAST an equal number of dislikes.
Sathrandur it deserves majority of dislikes. are you implying that there are good reasons to like this video?
Sathrandur
I think I got it now ;)
But seriously, the number of likes is troubling

Ever heard of the Equal Pay Act of 1963?
No they didn't

Neither do women in the first world.
Yeah because that LAW Nixon signed IN THE SIXTIES apparently is just a recommendation.
Don't know if right pres/ date is correct but doesn't really matter
Pretty close, JFK in 1963 passed the equal pay act.
Bea W 1/2 isn't bad
actually most equal opportunity laws are just guidelines. without control and major repercussions they will remain simple guidelines.
SongJiangShiJin guideline: "A general rule, principle, or piece of advice."
yeah it's just a guideline, you know, the type of guideline you have to follow or you get sued 'til you're broke and your company sinks under.
Just wait till she realizes he works 40 hrs a week and she only works 31.2 hrs. This is supposed to be satire, but it's actually just the real world.
Working extra hours is exactly why men “make more” than women.
If I ever run a company, I'll be sure to employ mostly women because #cheaper! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, it's a myth and it's illegal.
My God I've never seen Cancer in such a pure form.
Except for maybe, you know, actual cancer.
the wage gap is simply money made from men and women working full time, this does not acount for ocupation or hours worked.
lol the likes on this vid make me sick
Haha, good one, BuzzFeed! Best comedy sketch you've ever made!
XD
Oh boy! This was a serious knee-slapper!
I laughed at the part where the actress acted like the paygap was real

Maybe he asked for a raise and she did not.
Aces Low maybe his been in the company longer getting natural rises
Stonersloth Hughes He's
Maybe he's been working while she was bitching and behaving in passive-aggressive way with people who have nothing to do with her salary (i.e. her coworkers, they have nothing to do with the amount of money employer gives her)
Someone hit Buzzfeed's femenazis up with Mama June's wage gap button so they can taste some facts for once.
I waited for "You are fired" sentence.
Wanna hear an incredible irony?
The Human resource department who do the recruitment and negotiate wages are 80% filled with women.
LMAO !!!!!!!
if the wage gap was real then why don't companies only hire women and save 22% more money
Song Lyrics the wage gap is real
First of all, no. Second, the wage gap is real and needs to be fixed because it’s not ok.
You know what needs to be not real? Feminism
Frau Misusu uh huh I don't think so....
CoCo Pilotto it's fake
He earns $1273 1273 DoWn RoCkEt
What she's not telling you is she took more sick days and vacation days and he worked overtime and has been at the company longer.
If anything is discouraging women and girls to stop having dreams and aspirations it's misinformation like this.
How to fix the wage gap, you ask? Simply work even less and when you inevitably get fired, say that it's all because of sexism
Michael Farník well what’s the point of working harder if nobody’s gonna reward you for it?
uni corn21 to work harder and get payed more for it but It isn’t a problem since the wage gap doesn’t exist.
cooteyman 202 oh yes it does
No it doesn't. Why do companies even hire men since you apparently don't have to pay women as much? Come on, don't be an idiot
If they paid women less they would only hire women because it costs them less money
