If we'd believe the slanted tone of the post you're responding to I suppose we should at least take solace in only one of Americas two parties having all the right answers.
At some point America's popular culture will internalize that the wage gap was a myth and etc and appreciate that the left has been peddling pseudoscience for ages in the name of intellectual vanity.
Too many generations lost being the lefts rosemary kennedy.
In what way is the wage gap a myth? You can argue that the wage gap isn't primarily due to absolute discrimination, but that the wage gap exists is an objective fact.
The ‘myth’ of the wage gap is that it’s an aggregate number. It is sometimes/often presented as women make 73% of the wages of men for doing the same work.
It isn’t true for the same work though. When you do apples to apples comparisons of equivalent positions the gap frequently closes to almost nothing.
The wage gap is better phrased as ‘women, on average, do jobs that pay only 73% as much as men’. Which, in my opinion, is actually a far worse and harder to solve problem. Paying women the same as their male counterparts is easy. That’s why there isn’t really much of a gap in same profession comparisons. Getting women into more lucrative careers or getting Society to pay more for traditionally women dominated industries is much much harder.
To your question: The wage gap ‘myth’ is the misinterpretation of the statistic to say that women are paid much less for the same work.
The observed differences is due to choices like having babies and choosing different career paths, but for the same job it's objectively illegal to pay female workers less.
The feminists argue by taking the average of all wages, and of course women produce less economic value overall when they're still the primary caregiver in most societies.
The real crime is because the value generated by primary caregivers is not in dollars changing hands, and thus not taxable, no government has any interest in honestly measuring that value. The value of a primary caregiver is massive and it's criminal that we as a civlization have demonized women and men who choose to fill that role.
The biggest thing I hear among new Trump supporters is how is is treated. I say keep this sort of thing up.
We have just begun to fight back against the portion of the population with a vested interested in pseudoscience like the wage gap myth and apocalyptic theory. We shall continue to make their inconsistencies and vanity known.
I look forward to casting my vote for President Trump or his endorsement and ultimately winning the battle against post modernist garbage.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
The guy who ran on being bad with a dollar is bad with a dollar? We know that, we didn't vote Trump out because he was bad at finances (barring any geniuses who think the shut down was on the executive branch).
We voted Trump out because he makes it hard to claim the wage gap myth is real, that socialism has merit, that womens sports should be trans inclusive, and that children can dictate their gender.
Speaking as foreigner, I did wish you'd vote him out of office because of the thirty thousand lies, but that doesn't seem to matter to people like you, at least you don't mention it as a factor. Neither as a major nor as a contributing factor. Could you explain why not?
I dont view him as any bigger liar than any other politician, and I do view him as a liar. That is of little concern to me as I dont expect anything other than policy making that puts liberty first. And to be very explicit, many of my favorite people are liars of some sort. That is not a meaningful metric for me. The 10k household GDP increase and aggravated school marms, is meaningful to me.
However, that said I didn't vote for Clinton after reading 'no one left to lie to' (and her debate performances). Nothing that came out on Trump really offended me, I dont mind plainly stating.
In fact here are lies from Joe Biden that I could not look past:
* Lied about graduating in the top half of his class at law school. He was 76th in a class of 85. This is a neat one because Trump could get away with it because he doesnt sell himself as a moral busybody.
* Lied about graduating with three degrees from undergraduate school. Again a terrible lie for the person pandering to the population of America who needs outsiders to find them 'smart'. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1j0FS0Z6ho)
* Plagiarized a speech from another politician. This is egregious given the branding around the Democratic party. Silly.
* Accused the person involved in his wifes accident of being drunk without reason, after knowing better (pity party, lets be honest).
Those above are all from previous Presidential runs. Im not even talking about saying he wasnt going to ban fracking and then banning fracking.
To make it extremely clear: I would not vote for a person who claimed the wage gap myth is real when given the choice to instead vote for a buffoon.
Day one, Trump's making up complete shit about having the biggest inauguration ever. Absolutely no shame, no backing down, no nuance: 100% pedal to the metal lying insanity, with no evidence, just ignoring every criticism, every fact in within 3000 miles. A complete piece of shit man, through & through, who brought lying & deceit to unfounded new levels in politics.
You have some shit to sling against Biden but I've never seen a single one of these claims made in the first place. I welcome politicians to be challenged, but these challenges have never surfaced, never become topics, where-as we spent weeks dealing with absolute bedlam mad-cap insanity at Trump endlessly not-ever-shutting-the-fuck-up about having the biggest inauguration. He was a master of abusive lying, deliberate, fake, ongoing, dis-proved lying, as a political act, to piss off decent ok truth-believing people. Biden has none of this. None of it.
Lol your issues amuse me. I can't wait to vote for him again.
Its every voters job to inform themselves on the candidates. Try as you may but Biden is and was a clear establishment idiot. The fact that you are not aware of his many bad endorsements, gaffes and failures says more about your information channels than it does about Trump.
