This is part of a wider trend of wage stagnation and decline since 1989 for both men and women.

Why the focus on women, then? Should they not be subject to the wider trend?

Interesting you should ask. Take any news story. Let’s say a huge Tornado strikes Topeka and 2,500 are killed. The news will interview Mrs. Standish who was baking a cake. Her house was destroyed and she lost the cake. Then they’ll switch to some colorful half naked pot-bellied guy who describes some minutiae of the event and then tries to ask out the news presenter. Somewhere in the voice-over rush they may mention 2,500 are killed. But they try to personalize the news as that’s how they’re taught to do it in college. Frankly, I haven’t watched a news story in nearly two decades because they’re so badly done. I read the article and skip over the bits where they personalize it with an interview with some idiot.
