All these liberals, conveniently choose to ignore studies, which show that women overall earn less than men, because of gaps in work history due to having children, taking care of family matters, etc.
And many of those gaps in employment are due to the woman’s free choice to take time off, or look for less demanding jobs, which will fit better with family responsibilities.
I’ve seen a few studies which when controlled for various such factors, show that the gender pay gap disappears. I’ve seen studies which trace the careers of childless women, who have never taken any time for family, who have comparable pay and job responsibility of men in the same types of jobs.
So I expect that next up, the liberals will bitch about why it is, that women take time off, or seek less demanding jobs, just because of having a family. This will be seen as some “civil rights” crusade, I’m sure.
And they will look to other areas to bitch about, such as, why is it that after 50 years of the women’s movement, that less than 10% of partners in law firms are women. I suspect that it is because of the hard work and extreme hours needed to become a partner in a law firm causes many women not to make the effort. And may also tie in family responsibilities being incompatible with the long hours needed to make partner.
We’ll see where this goes.

Exactly. There is a big difference between being paid less vs. earning less.
I had plenty of employees over the years who were paid the same but often earned very different amounts. Some wanted to put in ot, work through bad weather etc.
