Women just naturally take worse paying jobs. It’s in our nature.
The way things are set up, the more important and vital something is to the actual functioning of society, the less it is paid. The reverse of that is the more parasitic or net-negative the job is, the better paid.
Hedge fund managers are a massive net negative and are paid the most.
And mothers are arguably the greatest net positive and that’s unpaid.
No wonder chuds want there to be more mothers, regardless of material conditions and society’s support or lack thereof… more unpaid labor.
Why though. Seriously, what’s the reason for this? Please don’t just say “capitalism”. Fine, but what exact feature of capitalism would that be that says “The more critical your activity is to the functioning of our system, the less you get paid”? In capitalism’s own logic, it should be the exact opposite.
The actual logic is ‘the more your job serves to increase profits’ which under capitalism always results in less pay for anyone that is not in that position. This is why a middle manager being good at getting workers to accept less pay is rewarded more than the most productive workers actually doing the production. It’s inherent to the hierarchical stratification of social classes under capitalism. Paying people well for their productivity is not how to make profits under this system.
Capitalism requires precarity and externalized costs as much as possible as the rate of profit tends to decline. The people that actually produce the most labor value must be the most crushed for it, so they don’t organize and overthrow that system with their labor power.
the hedge fund managers and c-level and other highly paid people in capitalist systems derive their wealth and income from control over ownership of capital: real estate, shares of companies, and so forth. real estate value ultimately depends on the ability to extract rents and mortgages from working people, taking a portion of their labor value in exchange for a temporary reprieve from the organized political violence that excludes people from using property. the value of ownership of a company depends on the ability of the company to make a profit, collecting more revenue than it pays out in expenses, including payroll. so it depends on the ability of the company to extract a portion of the labor value of its employees and transferring that to hedge fund managers, shareholders, and ceo’s. that is the logic of capitalism, and it’s how every billionaire obtains their wealth: extracting the value of others’ labor.

Your name checks out with that post.
Capitalism doesn’t value utility, though. It values the creation of profit in the immediate short term.
In capitalism’s own logic, it should be the exact opposite.
In capitalisms own rhetoric, yeah. In capitalism’s actual logic, people who own things decide the rules, which means it’s pretty inevitable that people who want to get paid as much as possible for as little work as possible (“passive income,” etc.) would produce a system like this.
If you gave the people who are the foundation of your business some level of security or even comfort by paying them well, it suddenly becomes a lot harder to pressure them into working overtime and through breaks when they don’t even need to work full-time to begin with!

naturally
this is because while women do be shopping they instinctually know they must be shopping using their husband’s (who they show infinite deference to as is the natural order of humanity) money.
Once you do the very scientific work of simply ignoring all variables that contribute to the gender gap, it no longer exists!
The only variable they care about is “ARE THE FEEEEMALES DOING THIS WORK?” and then making sure they’re paid less so they can try to pressure the feeemale into being their unpaid mommy bangmaid helpmeet.
This has the same energy as Paul Krugman saying inflation doesn’t exist if you simply ignore the cost of food, clothing, shelter, fuel, utilities, and transportation.
I still don’t know what the fuck is left to Paul Krugman after that.

Did you ever consider… having a phone is greater luxury than being a medieval king?
Having all the knowledge of the world in my pocket, so that I know that I am well and truly fucked. Truly a blessing from m’lord.

Listen here, fat.
the data is clear: boys go to college to get more knowledge, girls go to jupiter to get more stupider
Men are the logical and rational members of the species
which is why they have measured and nonemotional responses when they see a feeemale in their treats that doesn’t look like a cartoon porn character.Counterfactual: In a free marketplace of ideas, some boys will choose to go to Mars to get more bars.
I think recent stats are showing more women than men in postsecondary studies, so the script will soon flip to: men go into trades and do real work, while women study out-of-touch academic mumbojumbo and get paid too much
If you control for the fact that we have labeled specific jobs for women and have systematically denigrated and underpaid women for those jobs, you can clearly see that women just happen to take lower paying jobs and thus there is no pay gap! I’m very smart.
“…particularly the most important variable: how much I personally assume and/or want this to be true.”Men are the logical rational ones that have zero emotional problems ever ever ever, and we’re not superstitious either. I know this because MBTI tests show me as a solid INTJ.
The gender pay gap doesn’t exist, but if it does it’s a good thing
Why is that the flow and pattern of so much fascist shit? “It didn’t happen; if it did, it didn’t go far enough/it should happen.”
Didn’t see the vertical line indicating the quote and thought you were just a fascist at first
Mods! I’m being fasc-jacketed!
If businesses could pay women less to do the same job they would preferentially hire women and the pay gap would disappear.
Yes I think perfectly rational actors is a valid assumption to base my whole field of study on why do you ask?
A significant portion of the pay gap is that women’s work is underpaid, and men over represent in bullshit overpaid jobs.
After unsuccessfully trying to trade a horse for a hand job Elon concludes that the gender pay gap must be a myth.
What could a handjob cost, one horse?
What is the origin of this horse for handjob bit? I’ve seen other people in the thread mention it, but I’m not familiar with the reference.

The gender pay gap doesn’t exist but also I think it would be very bad if there were a law requiring it to not exist.
I mean if true that’s cool. Extremely critical support.

In Brazil companies have to report the average and median of salaries of employees, by position, and self reported race and gender. I’m the BI analyst on the company I work for and HR asked me for a python script to do that, I was hoping they slip up and send me the complete salary company information but their smart asses send me the salary column with just 100 for everyone.
with just 100 for everyone
Is that legal?
I didn’t did the report to be presented to the government labor agency, just the script to generate the report. I asked for the database because I needed something to work with, but the final execution of the script, with the real database, were ran by the director of HR.
Once again, gender-based pay discrimination is already against the law in many European countries. Obviously doesn’t fully address the problem, but works fine, not a huge deal.
I went looking for this plan, because I wondered if the fine would actually be more than the gaps in question. News articles from 2019 linked to her website, but she’s since removed it. Her error message:
