True, but the Dems’ argument is that all things considered, the men still end up making more. Our psychological outlook, mostly subconscious, is that men are worth more and deserve more, so they get more.
The problem is, and I wish someone would deal with this from a Republican/conservative perspective, is how do we solve this? A good point might be that there is no way to solve it. Another good point might be that solving it is a worse outcome, because we would have to interfere with a company’s private business decisions. But let’s not just keep heaping the same old tired excuses for it. We’ll get nowhere by denying it.
As a woman I call BS and say just let people - that includes bosses - do what they want. No one has to take a job they don’t want. That is the problem with liberals - because their fantasy is that everyone be under their control, they assume that is how everything works - bosses control everyone like slaves, so the employees somehow have no choice. Truth is we do, and it’s about time we started acting like it.
