The left wing Huffington Post says that other left wingers who claim that women only get paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the "same work" as men are wrong. The Huffington Post says that the comparison is not for the "same work," and that the comparison does not adjust for education, job, experience, hours worked per week, etc, and that when you do adjust for those things, the gap disappears. It also says that the people who do claim that the gap exists count a male lawyer and a female librarian as the same job, even though lawyers earn far more than librarians.

That’s Christina Hoff Sommers writing that.
I think she’s a libertarian.
She’s not a progressive.

The research has been there for a long time. The “wage gap” is just another lie like “global warming”, or “gun violence” or “white privilege”.

Because lots of women work in highly physically demanding industries such as mining, lumberjacking, construction, etc.

There is a website..its name escapes me right now as I am on the phone..which lists every single job..what they earn..what it breaks down to..ie male female..manager..worker etc..and essentially the pay gap is a penny when compared equally across the board. It is easily explained as women tend to take more time off for kids than men.

OK. Thanks. I still think it’s notable that the Huffington Post published it.
