Synopsis:
Warren Farrell, the only man to have been elected three times to the National Organization for Womens New York board of directors, is the author of such books as The Myth of Male Power and Why Men Are the Way They Are. In his new book, he argues that women earn less than men on average not because they are discriminated against, but because they have made lifestyle choices that affect their ability to earn. Why Men Earn More argues that although discrimination sometimes plays a part, both men and women unconsciously make trade-offs that affect how much they earn. Farrell clearly defines the 25 different workplace choices that affect incomes--including putting in more hours at work, taking riskier jobs or more hazardous assignments, being willing to change location, and training for technical jobs that involve less people contact--and provides readers with specific, research-supported ways for women to earn higher pay.

warren farrell is basically the most disarming guy i've ever listened to. you'd never know this was a controversial topic the way he explains it.

This is BS men make less now days than women. For what brings men to the table and level of capacity, still they make less.

[Nicole B]

And they do so bc there are still men falling for this and helping them

[E Lokk]

Because guys like you let them get away.



[E Lokk]

Let her get a job collecting refuse. They are not arguing for that now are they?

[M. Taylor]

It's actually quite simple: Generally, men work longer and are more ambitious in the workplace as women. No wonder men earn more. Case closed, feminists stop whining about "sexism".

oyyy that one chick in the crowd must feel a little awkward.

[Hunterbgpz]

Why is it startling? Everyone with half a brain would take these issues into consideration and would see through the feminist propaganda.
