Why Men Earn More 8 - The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap

This is a talk given my Dr. Warren Farrel at the Cato (www.cato.org) institute on Tuesday, February 1, 2005 entitled:

Why Men Earn More
The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gapand What Women Can Do About It

A presentation from his book of the same name
http://www.amazon.com/Why-Men-Earn-More-Startling/dp/0814472109/ref=sr_1_1?ie...

Cato offers the real video stream of the lecture I have captured here on this events page:

I have reproduced this material without permission under fair use. The aim is to present information on how womens own choices lead to the wage gap which thus stems from their own liberty. I make no profit from these video views and all intellectual material is

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.

Is this the same Warren Farrel who said these infamous sentences?

"Millions of people who are now refraining from touching, holding, and genitally caressing their children, when that is really part of a caring, loving expression, are repressing the sexuality of a lot of children and themselves."

and

"...incest is part of the family's open, sensual style of life, wherein sex is an outgrowth of warmth and affection. "

Creepy

Ad hominem.

You are attempting to invalidate Warren Farrel's opinions by raking up some stupid thing he said in the past. It's a logical fallacy and I can see right through you.

[ioploki]

clm131313 wasn't necessarily attempting to invalidate Farrel's ideas on the pay gap. Perhaps this person was just making an observation. So the "ad hominem" is really a straw man and you made it.

[ArgusEyes]

People who ask the question like that are weaving the ad hominem argument, I know how feminists work.

Also, you came to a definitive conclusion based upon an unknown factor. Do you disagree with Farrell?

[Dobogio]

Yeah that's true, I mean if for nothing else I just value his explanation on the wage gap but everything else he say's I just take with a grain of salt. It isn't because he's sympathetic towards women but just seems to be pushing the feminism pill a little to forcfully down our throats lol. That's why I appreciate you man, you don't tip toe around feminism and just say what were all thinking and back it up with facts...oh and when is that fabled oppression vid coming?

[ArgusEyes]

Thank you. I will start making videos again once I have sorted a few things out with my life.

"There will be no love unless there's money. " Okay women: think about that for a moment. THEN ask the question, "Why do men earn more than women?"

[TheFreshTrumpet]

@PeterBainner So you think a 16 year old should see a prostitute? No no let me back up, you think we should have prostitutes?

@PeterBainner

Read some of his other posts sir and you'd see what I'm getting at.

[PeterBainner]

@TheFreshTrumpet I'd say an intellectual with a side of rebellious attitude. I'd say he was raised by someone this country needs more of. And I'd say that foul-mouthed, close-minded people like yourself need to be deported from this planet en mass before the issues between men and women can even come to a point of proper solving.

[PeterBainner]

@Labtop215 I never once saw anything in his post about violence, and that's after reading it and re-reading it 3 times. Also, oppression has never, in all of history, ever been solved by talking. Never. When the British were imposing unfair taxation and oppression of anyone who spoke out against it, it resulted in a war because the oppressors would not concede. When the south refused to release the slaves, there was a civil war because the oppressors wouldn't concede. And history repeats itself.

@Speirsbg

The answer to percieved oppresion is NOT more oppression, nor in "this" (your) percieved case of oppression is violence.

The real answer to oppression is the free flow of unbiased information to all whom are oppressed. The answer to oppression is proper education. Actual education. I don't mean the bubble wrapped, sugar coated, pansy ass education our school systems put for that insist we all have to learn to trust one another. Tollerance and intellect will win out if implemented.

[TheFreshTrumpet]

@Speirsbg Who the fuck raised you?

[TheLordmep]

On the one hand I'm sad that the feminists didn't show up cause I wanted to see Warren pwn them into the ground. On the other hand, I'm glad that they didn't who up because if they did then we'd never hear a word from Warren cause the feminists would scream until their voices wore out.

[jankren]

Men need to be more selfish.

A very interesting lecture. It's a pity so many commenter seem to have interpreted it as an anti-Feminist screed, which seems both inaccurate and wilfully ideological. It seems far more reasonable to understand his work as potentially complimentary to Feminism (and Masculism, such as it is), which is what I assumed he had intended. Certainly, his comments on socialisation are far more pertinent to the ideas of Feminism, particularly Third Wave Feminism than, to anti-Feminism.
