The gender wage gap: a metastudy in unobserved heterogeneity in the regression analyses of the social sciences community

[Ben Kenobi]

Please tell us about all the blow jobs you've gotten. Somehow I think it will be a short tale.

Gee, faux outrage then. Quel surprise.

[Patroklos]

That makes sense if you assume sexism has no effect on the type of education, level of experience, or occupation of women.

As you should...

Consider, for example, how men and women differ in their college majors. Here is a list (PDF) of the ten most remunerative majors compiled by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Men overwhelmingly outnumber women in all but one of them:

1. Petroleum Engineering: 87% male
2. Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Sciences and Administration: 48% male
3. Mathematics and Computer Science: 67% male
4. Aerospace Engineering: 88% male
5. Chemical Engineering: 72% male
6. Electrical Engineering: 89% male
7. Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering: 97% male
8. Mechanical Engineering: 90% male
9. Metallurgical Engineering: 83% male
10. Mining and Mineral Engineering: 90% male

And here are the 10 least remunerative majors—where women prevail in nine out of ten:

1. Counseling Psychology: 74% female
2. Early Childhood Education: 97% female
3. Theology and Religious Vocations: 34% female
4. Human Services and Community Organization: 81% female
5. Social Work: 88% female
6. Drama and Theater Arts: 60% female
7. Studio Arts: 66% female
8. Communication Disorders Sciences and Services: 94% female
9. Visual and Performing Arts: 77% female
10. Health and Medical Preparatory Programs: 55% female

Much of the wage gap can be explained away by simply taking account of college majors. Early childhood educators and social workers can expect to earn around $36,000 and $39,000, respectively. By contrast, petroleum engineering and metallurgy degrees promise median earnings of $120,000 and $80,000. Not many aspiring early childhood educators would change course once they learn they can earn more in metallurgy or mining. The sexes, taken as a group, are somewhat different. Women, far more than men, appear to be drawn to jobs in the caring professions; and men are more likely to turn up in people-free zones. In the pursuit of happiness, men and women appear to take different paths.

That and hours worked pretty much covers it.

Getting paid less for the same job is a choice.

When a gender group makes at least 90% of what the other gender group makes that's called a non-issue. They aren't going to be equal.

Do you have a link?

It's an article of faith. You don't need links when you're wearing an article of faith. You simply need to believe that the said article is covering your bare arse.


And just ignore that cold draughty feeling at the rear.... it's probably a manhating lesbo-feminist blowing smoke up your arse.

[molly bloom]

Which explains why you don't get them?

Ah, just we needed, the voice of extensive inexperience.

So Sister Bendy, what has your copious experience of fellatio been like ?

[molly bloom]

You might try thinking about women as something other than just sex objects.

I've just thought of women as equilateral triangles. It seems that even in my imagination, women are not very good at being equilateral triangles.

Clearly I am a misogynist homosexual patriarch for not imagining that sensitive, nurturing women could be the best equilateral triangles EVER.

I give you an E for effort.

Just say no to drugs!


Even the ones you're taking!

NO, I think he needs to be taking more drugs.

E is a good grade. You should not feel guilty for your success.

For you or by your standards ? I wouldn't be in the least surprised.

Back on the Mogadon, Kiddlywink.

So if you got a 10% paycut that would be a "non-issue"?

I would not call it discrimination. That's passive aggressive bull****.
