Comment on Women earn 78 cents for every $1 men paid on average.

Wait so now the pay gap isn’t about women being paid less than men for doing the same job, since that has been proven to be a big fat lie, but is now about women earning less on average across all jobs? What a joke.

Women and men do different jobs. Women don’t tend to work in the mines, in construction, on fishing boats, etc - all dangerous but high paying jobs. Men don’t tend to be healthcare workers or teachers or secretaries or yoga teachers, all lower paying and less risky jobs. This is why women earn less on average - the jobs they do pay less, no matter what sex you are. It’s not a “gender” pay gap, it’s a job pay gap. Some jobs pay more than others, more at 9!
