Gender Pay Gap? Equal Pay for Different Jobs of 'the Same Value'

[shahil101able]

If women want the same pay as men, they must work as much as men, put in same no of overtime, take as less vacation time,medical leaves, as well as paying for maintainence for children when a divorce occurs.

the wage gap? women work less time, less overtime, get to work later, take more time off, cost more money to a company, and they still complain? if this shit was really fair i bet theyd only get 50 percent of what men make...

[feministsAreCorrupt]

Companies are not hiring men for fun. Men simply do more work and are more reliable. Otherwise, these is no reason to hire men for a higher rate if women are able to do the job at the lower rate. The result would be a workforce of only women.

@PipeManChuck pure and utter bullshit and you know it. 76 cents on the dollar. PERIOD.

[LeonSkottKennedey]

these woman probably dont even werk the same amount of hours und theh get morr ?equalitie gap? waht equalitie gaps ?

[feministsAreCorrupt]

2:29 : This woman should also include the most significant factor that causes the pay gap : women work fewer hours because they choose part-time jobs as wellas turn down "overtime" hours at a higher pay rate.

It is surprising is that the raw gender pay gap is only 23% .

If you search "Warren Farrell"+"John Stossel" you will get the video of the American ABC network's "20/20" news show which examines claims of "the wage gap", and this leads to Dr. Warren Farrell's research which went into his book WHY MEN EARN MORE. All very legitimate reasons, but by failing to understand these reasons, doctrinaire feminists are adding red tape and hindering economic activity.

[rockymountainsunrise]

the simple fact is that innovation and progress over thousands of years has been driven by men, with women riding along on our coat-tails. men create value with ingenuity and hard work, and are compensated accordingly. women create value with their vaginas.

The only gap I can see is the gap between feminists ears.

[Minkki82]

Why should men and women have the same average salary, if men work more than women and in more dangerous fields of work than women? It makes no sence.

[CabeBiken10]

These women aren't going to stop until they make MORE than men.

Want to know a secret? you get paid according to how valuable to the company... so you do the math :0

[mitchwas]

lets all do SENSITIVITY training... give up your intellects for collectivism and consensus....our NWO masters want women in work because it destroys family and forces children to be raised by nanny state in propaganda centres

[1WhoSeeks]

@mitchwas Sad but true.. This is happening and the average person is oblivious to it. I will never confirm to the NWO. One day in the future as see myself and many others like me being called enemies of the state.

Women are paid less for numerous reasons that have zero to do with sexism. Even in the same position men work more hrs per week. Men take far less sick time and vacation time. Women tend to be less aggressive when negociating a salary.That is why they pay more for cars (do u really think the salesman doesnt want every last penny of the mans too?!). The list of reasons goes on and on but the liberal media will continue to ignore the facts and project sexism into the picture. Think people, think.

[jtimleck]

@prettycow25 Yes - and women get less money for health care = more sick time. Women are badgered into their wages - if they "negotiate" they're considered "bitches" and fired. Grab a fucking clue - it's not "liberal media" it's conservative asswipes that don't want to give up THEIR wealth dipshit.

@jtimleck A large chunk of women's sick time is not taken for themselves. Rather, women use sick time to manage various family responsibilities: staying home with sick children, attending field trips, caring for elderly relatives, maintaining the home, assisting handicapped family members with activities of daily living, etc. Because women assume the majority of responsibility for these critically important psychosocial functions, men are enabled to attend work and need not use sick time.

[JBlue761982]

@prettycow25 One of the reasons men take less sick/vacation time is because when children are sick, it is usually the mother who stays home from work.

@prettycow25 Women (as a social group, not referring to particular individual(s)), complete fewer hours of paid labour than men. However, compared to men, women perform far more hours of unpaid labour (e.g., parenting, domestic tasks). Staggering amounts of unpaid work are performed by women in addition to their substantial (i.e., only slightly less than men's) contribution to the paid labour force. Also, women workers are less likely than men to be rewarded for 'aggressive' wage negotiation.

I suggest reading the IEA's report "Should we mind the gap".

Quite frankly it's a huge leap to equate unequal pay with discrimination and sexism, when it can simply boil down to compensating differentials. For instance the gap between young unmarried women and their male counterparts is non-existent.

And seriously, saying that a carer and a binman are jobs of "equal value" is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

[Malthus0]

The wage gap in the UK is not down to sexism or discrimination but to differing productivity in the market. Not that women can not do what men can but because they choose to become mothers and housewives and put more of their effort into household tasks generally.

This necessary slows down career advancement and funnels women into jobs like childcare. Women who never marry or have children have no gap in pay. If women focus on their career the same as men then they will get the same pay.

This equality bill isn't a good idea.
