Poll of the Day > Women are making more than men, and still complaining...

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://nypost.com/2019/09/25/women-are-struggling-to-find-men-who-make-as-much-money-as-they-do/

So apparently, if they make less than us, its a sexist economy. And if they make more than us, well, men are lazy and lack drive.

The ones who are complaining simply arent as skilled.

This is about dating, not about the economy...

The argument is that single women make more than single men. Which, ok, is probably true. You can't then extrapolate for literally all men and all women, because the single population is a subset of the entire population.

This is the stupidest logic Ive read today. Either way youre making a sweeping generalization.

I did. And either theres a gender pay gap, or males are too poor and lazy nowadays. But there literally cant be both. (Or maybe there can, and dudes just suck either way).

But I cant help but wonder, if these same women found a man who made more than them, would they still complain?

Its like that whole Ms Monopoly game. Isnt this what feminists wanted?

Yes. But feminists are too fucking dumb to realize that what they wanted would eventually lead to the destruction of feminism. Feminism is a self-correcting problem and, unlike cancer, it will be destroyed before it has a chance to destroy everything around it.

feminists don't want equality, they want more

Japan has the same problem, but they didn't really have a feminist movement either so it's not hypocritical.

It's pretty strongly hinted in the "fem" part.

I find generally that dudes these days just do less across the board, says the nurse practitioner. Their parents have coddled them and taken care of them, and they just dont go out there and make more money.

What a delightfully sexist generalization.

It's even better, feminism took all the fight out of them, and now they're mad they've got no drive.

can't be sexist towards men

Some folk are never happy.

Well the wage gap in the past was derived mostly because men in all walks of life busted their ass at the job and spent extra hours if needed even if they had 3 kids at home. Meanwhile women were in usually less lucrative jobs and on top of that were less likely to work extra hours especially if they had kids at home.

So while they shouted at the "inequality" it was mostly this that kept men in the higher earning brackets.

If you're being paid less for doing the same work, or there's a glass ceiling that prevents you from breaking through into higher paid jobs, then you've got perfectly legitimate grounds for complaining about inequality.

Yeah, and whenever those kinds of complaints come to light in the media, it is usually shown that men are actually paid less despite doing more. the wage gap has been debunked so many time it has gone out of style. There are usually valid explanations as to why certain men are paid more than their female workers since, you know, doing otherwise is illegal.

But leave it to modern feminists to manage to make a problem which DIRECTLY targets men, somehow being about women being victims.

Wow that article is really condescending. And really classist.

"Men need to get with the program"

"Economic equal"

Fuck offff

So the message is, men are poor, and this is making life harder for women. That's a fucked up message.

Edit; so I do see the research. Liberals always get the facts right, but are waaay to tolerant of this stupid bullshit. Then the ones that have the balls to call it out end up forgetting that private insurance is Satan.

This is largely due to most manual labor jobs being done by men

I'm just glad I have a woman who isnt a raging psychopath

Y'all should actually read the article you're being upset at.

You keep saying this as if theres some special sentence everyone is overlooking that makes it not terrible. The women in the article are being sexist and shallow.

Reread it twenty times and youll still reach the same conclusion.

I believe that people aren't really looking at the right problem. The problem isn't that women are getting paid less, it's that the jobs women go into aren't as highly VALUED as those that men go into. For instance, if a person works as an aide at a day care center where she has to be around children a lot, she doesn't get paid as well as the man who does janitorial work because caring for kids isn't as highly VALUED as making sure the day care center is kept clean and free of germs, etc. It doesn't matter if the day care aide has to do TWICE as much work, they're still not going to get paid as well because her work isn't VALUED or is dismissed as 'well, it's expected of women to work for little to next to no pay because they have a husband at home with a fat paycheck behind them'. Until those attitudes are fixed, there will be no equality as far as pay's concerned, no matter what men and women do or don't do.

Women are welcome, and even HIGHLY pushed by the simps in the education system to go for those higher paying jobs by having meritocracy thrown away and having standards constantly lowered.

They're still not doing it. That's not society's problem.
