Why Men Earn More 3 - The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap

[computergeek836]

>Never married women are winners and never married men are losers

That feel when he just confirmed that you're a loser

[jizzy2k]

@PaintMyNailsBlaq what is a guy?

[billhicks8]

@plaid4u

Are you being rude just to draw attention to yourself?

[dickinson1027]

too boring - didn't really listen

[bboygboy]

yea but when practiced, men make exponentially more than women in the fields that all the men stood up in i.e. lawyers, technicians, etc.

[ugotpimp]

MEN ARE MORE COMMITTED AND FOCUSED AND DESERVE MORE PAY

[Captainjack463]

He is using simple logic. aaaaah he is a sexiest pig! Quick sham-language to shut him up!

[gibbygano]

This is inane libertarian propaganda.

[SirTurquoiseCrayon]

@gibbygano This is an unsubstantiated claim that by all indications is an ad hominem due to bias against the subject content.

[billhicks8]

@SirTurquoiseCrayon

Use your analytical skills to observe whether the sit/stand test was a reliable method to gather accurate data.

[SirTurquoiseCrayon]

@billhicks8 I suppose it could be referred to as a 'test', data was gained from it however insignificant. I'd go as far as to presume that the intention of this 'test' wasn't as all to be a test though, more so as an outlet for engaging the audience in a lengthy speech. Nobody is going to publish papers, or cite the ratios of individuals who stood for anything substantial. It was merely a minor demonstration, and above all else, an activity to engage the audience in.

[SirTurquoiseCrayon]

@billhicks8 As a demonstration it correlated with the information he had provided throughout the speech, that HAD been gathered under reliable conditions. Though I surely accept that the premise of the activity having been carried out in the intention of keeping attention engaged is an assumption, it's hardly a very ludicrous one. In short, he wasn't gathering data, he was demonstrating correlation between data he had presented, and the audience relation to it while having a dual purpose.

[billhicks8]

@SirTurquoiseCrayon

I don't think it needs to be about gathering data to still fall under the spurious or ludicrous. Since you agree that this is hardly the method to go about any accurate assessment of anything whatsoever, why bother in the first place? As for holding audience attention, it was the start of his speech so I doubt attention spans needed invigorating with pointless, suspicious activities such as this. I just thought it lowered the standards unnecessarily.

[billhicks8]

@billhicks8

Apologies for my first sentence it doesn't make sense, what I should say is that you either gather data or you do not. The efficacy of such an endeavour is best always judged, since the key to a strong rational argument is consistently rational activity. Anything less should set alarm bells ringing I would have thought.

[BRYAN351]

@gibbygano, here's a little anecdote for you. I once had a job selling commercial satellite receiving equipment. Our customer database consisted of about 3,000 people, the vast majority being engineers or senior technicians. Guess how many of that 3,000 were women? Three. lol

Yeah yeah, it's discrimination that kept women out of that field. Right. But, is discrimination the reason why I've never met a woman who can use a simple tire pressure gauge?

[mindprism]

@gibbygano {This is inane libertarian propaganda. }

Well that settles it then.

[producer4real]

Imagine that, men raise better children better than women do! Snoop said it years ago, bitches ain't shit.

[netster007z]

I like this video - I'm majoring in Computer Science!

[prschuster]

It seems that the biggest determinant here is that women are more likely to focus on family than on career compared to men. If people were paid for raising children, then the pay gap might be closed, but that's not how the economy works. That's just my impression from what I've heard.

[Edgerunner10]

@prschuster

why would you get paid for something you use your pay for? getting paid for taking care of children is just illogical.

[KevinSolway]

If men were paid for satisfying women's sexual needs, and mowing the lawn, then the pay gap would increase again!

[Rahhhsajp19]

@KevinSolway you so right

[napyuu]

Ir work as management in a CVS pharmacy. I get payed more than most of the females in the area with the same position. Want to know why?

Because I work all the night shifts, for more than 60 hours a week.

I get payed more than my female co-workers because we WORK HARDER.

Feminists always overlook that someone can get payed more than another in the same field if they work harder at it than the others.

go figure.

[plalelal]

Every job I've ever had, I'm a man, has paid the same to the women doing the same job. Only in the top 5% is there some disparity. Pay is based on the difficulty of the field. I have worked as a nurse and been severely discriminated by the female nurses.

[MagicCowWtf]

but its not based on gender.

[kingbane2]

by that logic janitors should be paid as much as ceo's.. the question isn't does pay discrimination exist. the question is WHY someone's pay is discriminated against. this shows that gender is not the predominant reason for pay discrimination.

[mindprism]

@obsday {pay discrimination IS discrimination - you DUMB FUCK!}

No it isn't. If you have 5 positions to fill and find 5 qualified candidates, 3 women and 2 men, and 2 of the women accept an offer 10% less than the two men -- how is that discrimination?

[BootsMegamix]

@mindprism because if they don't accept it, another woman will, are you really that dense?

[mindprism]

@BootsMegamix dense about what. When you have a group of people willing to accept less pay because they confine themselves to certain types of job prospects -- it is not the fault of the employer.

[vetromaster]

To the situation described Dr. Farrell about high powered males and females.

Two tigers can never live on the same mountain

(a Chinese proverb regarding marriage:)

[pinegrove33]

"never married women are winners and never married men are losers" tells the feminist story in a NUTshell.

[georg1984]

I was going to thumbs up your comment, but it has been disabled!

[ArgusEyes]

I despise comment rating. More than anything else they are abused and used to censor opinions that go against the majority supporters of a video.

They are wrong and should be removed from youtube.

[ArgusEyes]

And as someone who allows video comments automatically, allows comments automatically, allows all comments to be seen equally, answers people regularly and cannot remember when I last banned someone. Youd better believe it when I say that I value free speech and the exchange of ideas.

[ArgusEyes]

B.T.W. An institution like Feministing may say they support freedom of speech (because that is mainly to do with the government), but they do not value the exchange of ideas since they filter peoples feedback and ban opposing views under the excuse of them being trolls.

[georg1984]

Yes I know you hate comment ratings. My comment was not meant as a criticism. I think you have good reasons for not liking them.

In my opinion they are not so bad, but I understand your thinking.

[georg1984]

To further clarify: the reason for my comment was to tell pinegrove that in my opinion he made a good comment. That is all.

[ArgusEyes]

I'm not having a go at you, I am merely clarifying my position for all to see.

[georg1984]

I understand!

I am also clarifying my position.

So it seems we both now have a clearer position!

[Hzqi]

Or as I would descrine their policy:

Freedom of Deference.
