Women Uber Drivers Earn Less Than Men, But Discrimination Isn’t to Blame

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s not fair that men drive faster than women and are willing to go where the fares are the highest!

[Blue Collar Christian]

Generally women create and maintain the pay gap by choosing to not do what men are willing to do. Doesn’t matter the profession.

If you choose not to run with the big dogs, you get porch pay.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And that’s the Uber-and-Under. Badoom tish.

[17th Miss Regt]

Here is the correct interpretation.

Men drive faster than women and therefore make more fares than women in the same time period. But more importantly, men are busy plotting to monopolize fares from areas that are more profitable, so as to oppress women and force them back home where they will be utterly dependent, perform only menial housework and breed at their owner’s desire.

Oh, yes! Women of color and LGBTQs affected most!

Curiously, the economists who conducted the study said discrimination had absolutely nothing to do with the pay gap.

Curiously?

The author of this piece needs a full brain flush if he thinks this is curious. I've never used Uber, but I'm pretty sure the app doesn't give users the option to call a male or a female driver. If ride generation is sex-neutral, it's hard to see how "discrimination" could enter the equation even on the absurd hypothesis that someone would want to do so.

As with probably 90+% of the “pay gap” . . . it’s due to other factors besides discrimination.

Curiously, the economists who conducted the study said discrimination had absolutely nothing to do with the pay gap.

However, differences in working styles between men and women contributed to the pay gap. The study summarized the findings in three factors.

How is that 'curious?' The author inserts that emotional bias and then debunks it with the facts.

I'm going to make a completely sexist, misogynistic and trans-phobic assumption based on the name Sissi that the author is a she.

[Rebelbase]

Women have to stop and make sammichs more often than men.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

It’s HARD to drive and apply your make-up in the rear-view mirror!

(Though, I guess, now-a-days it could be Snowflake Males doing that, too!)

In this day and age maybe.

Curiously, the economists who conducted the study said discrimination had absolutely nothing to do with the pay gap.

Why curious? That's pretty much the case wherever there's a discrepancy. Unless you mean curious that they'd actually admit it.

[Still Thinking]

Or a ze, or a xe, or a shiz, or whatever the “proper” term is these days.

[TigersEye]

Who knows for sure what it is? It might identify as a parakeet for all I know.

However, differences in working styles between men and women contributed to the pay gap.

This simply must be stopped! How outrageous.

[TalBlack]

And yet, the seven percent pay gap stays roughly in line with the overall pay gap across all industries, including traditional professions.

Stopped reading here. A study was done of Engineers who entered the work force in 1974. Female Engineers who NEVER LEFT THE WORK FORCE made the same money the men did. Period.

Could be a cross-dressing self-mutilator.

Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans.
