[QUOTE="CommonSense1, post: 2631485, member: 300843"] From the detailed BLS report on the wage gap: "by 2007, the raw wage gap had shrunk from 37.9 percent to just 21.5 percent. However, despite these gains the raw wage gap continues to be used in misleading ways to advance public policy agendas without fully explaining the reasons behind the gap." "There are observable differences in the attributes of men and women that account for most of the wage gap." They admit that their study, like any study can explain most of the causes they are studying, but no study can explain every detail. ________________________________________________________ Michelle's response is accurate but misleading. It only addresses that there is a median wage difference between men and women, but omits that the reason has nothing to do with discrimination against women. (Feminists don't just claim women make less, but claim there is a wage gap which is women making less due to discrimination against women on the part of employers) It's simple, if women want to earn as much as men, all they need to do is do the same work men do. Many women and their families however make other choices, and there's nothing wrong with that. [/QUOTE]
