Why Men Earn More 5 - 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

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.

@ItsTheTransmission Sounds like someone is operating more on feeling than facts.Again, this "patriarchy" that you refer to is non-existent in the sense that you mean it. Go attack another straw man.

@ItsTheTransmission I'm getting sick of people like you. There is no patriarchy go to family court, you'll see what I mean

@mindprism Or maybe men earn more because women have a tendency to take the easy way out

[BootsMegamix]

@mindprism Having paid attention up to this point, I'd say that's actually a pretty fair assessment

[mindprism]

To summarize this enlightening series:

Women earn less because they are girlie-men. :)

@smoking1212, yeah, the fat blond's question made her sound really dumb. Way to keep the questions rooted in reality, you know? lol

But to answer her question, if men could squeeze out kids, then there would be one gender instead of two. Helloooo.

@tjmac7, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people. :-D

5:20 why was he pleased, he just said as you line up all the variables between men and women, women earn more. thats discrimination. as you line up the variables the pay should be equal, not in womens favor. its only when the variables are unequal should the pay also be unequal. so what is he 'pleased' about. the world isnt fairer.

Farrell, that is all fine and swell that that is YOUR definition. You can make up shit all you want, but "control over one's life" is not the accepted sociological and social psychological definition of power. The accepted definition of power, is that power is social influence. Nothing to do with "control over one's life."

@LordSlag That's what the lesbians are for! :D
