"Women get paid less because they are treated as inferior."

"Why would any company not just entirely hire women if that was true!?"

You don't even have to get into arguments to instantly see the flaw in that question.

Anyway I find it hard to believe anyone who claims men and women are treated equally in the workplace is being honest.

They're not, flat out. Even in America and Western Europe. Let alone the rest of the world.

I've seen flat out ignore doctors advice because the doctor is a chick then listen to random guys when they say the same thing.

Now imagine you're a 50+ year old male CEO or chairman or senoir position in a company who deals exclusively with other 50+ year males and so did your father. Then some chick turns up and starts telling you what to do.

Even if she's right, every part of your unconcious (and maybe even concious) being would stop and hinder her. When a position becomes avaible who are you going to promote? The other fat white guy who you've known for decades due to running in the same circles or some competent chick who draws attention just by walking into a board meeting as the only one in a dress?

Let's look at who makes the laws in Japan:

Oh let's look at who makes the laws in the US:

Well that's politics, let's have look at CEOs and senoir positions in businsess:

Oh..

I think it's possible to get a little too tied up in numbers in thsi thing but the issue runs deeper than widespread pay. It's a societal issue and the fact is society is not yet equal and may never be. Women as a generalization are not seen as the same beings as men, they are seen as lesser by millions including most people in power, many of whom do so unconciously.

Proof is in the pudding before you even discuss jobs and pay. The is a question in the world right now of "Do women deserve Body Autonomy?" and almost half of the developed World answers "No they don't. I should control their bodies." The figure for men would be like 0.5%

Now how can you accept that fact with a straight face and then pretend things are equal? It's beyond me.
