It's voluntary, only for like one week a month, and not really enforced at all.

Also, just so you guys know, the article says that all the money from that goes to a "women's service", not to the company or the employees. It's basically giving to charity and not a "male tax".

i'm curious how much of the 'man tax' is fox news' attempt at clickbait and how much is the store owner's attempt to get attention via edginess

I wonder what information they are basing this notion that the pay gap exists.

From what I've read, I have not come across information that shows it's a real thing.

Pretty much. There are maybe some specific instances you could find out there, but overall, there certainly isn't an 18% pay gap for those of opposite genders that do the same job in developed western nations.

From what I've seen, these figures often come from calculating the overall ratio of male to female pay without consideration for the many factors that could contribute to it, such the exact job, hours worked / overtime, seniority, etc. It's an issue, sure, but it's not automatically an issue of sexism.

Gender representation in certain fields is a similarly complex issue. Like in the tech sector. I don't agree with the "biological differences" argument. Sure, they do exist, but does that mean that women "can't code" or have an innate dislike for coding? Of course not. Past history flies in the face of that (i.e. when programming was seen as a woman's job and working with hardware was the opposite). It's more to do with society, among other things.

One week of the month they ask for voluntary donations to help fund groups working for gender equality.

I'm guessing if that makes them lose your business they probably consider it a plus.

Nonsense. All you'd have to do is say "what gender pay gap and could you provide your source for that?"

From that Google memo:
Discriminating just to increase the representation of women in tech is as misguided and biased as mandating increases for women’s representation in the homeless, work-related and violent deaths, prisons, and school dropouts.


The same applies to the pay gap myth.
