bioemerl , to Politics in [Analysis] What is no-fault divorce, and why do some conservatives want to get rid of it? | CNN

The problem really isn't the choice to get divorced, it's stuff like child support and alimony crossed with a court system very biased towards giving those to women when they probably shouldn't be

Divorce has or had become a "no fault" leave and make money system. I see literally zero reason to get married the way things are now. All loss and no gain.

Well yeah, that would be catastrophic and it would also be either murder or hilariously repressive government control of reproduction

You first

Key word:

Its

Paying more can't magically make more people available to work and there are real labor limits right now. It just means that if you want people, you have to make sure you're using them as effectively as possible and pay them above market rates.

But for every guy you get, the other guy loses a spot and has to compete harder.

This is a good thing.

Who said the women do less work than you?

BLS data?

They do equal work

They don't.

Are you insinuating that you can do more work than a woman possibly could?

Literally nothing I said implied that that. Plenty of individual women do as much or more work than the average guy. Statistically the average woman does less.

Why do men get more for the same amount of work?

They don't. When you control for career choice and hours worked the pay gap disappears.

My specific situation is not important beyond the fact that I'm a guy so I am statistically going to work more hours and to devote more of my life to work as well as choosing my career based on income rather than any sort of life satisfaction than the average woman.

Did you read the thread? Did you read the title of the thread? Did you read any of the previous comments?

The reason they get paid more than you is because their industry generates more revenue than your and/or its shared more equally.

Wat? When was I complaining about people making more money than me?

Who’s to say you don’t do more work because you are inefficient?

Again. Wat?

We're talking about statistical averages across the whole economy here. Statistically, the women protesting against the pay gap are protesting so that they get paid "equally" for less work.

Unless you want to suggest that women are generally more efficient in their labor than men are, you're talking crazy here.

And if you do want to suggest that, you're still talking crazy.

At this point you're just asserting a falsehood. There is little else to say.

That wouldn't accomplish anything because if I make more for the hours I work all of a sudden there's a pay gap again.

bioemerl , to Work Reform in Women in Iceland including the prime minister go on strike for equal pay and an end to violence

They currently aren't working the same hours. When you control for job choice and hours worked the pay gap goes away.

bioemerl , to Work Reform in Women in Iceland including the prime minister go on strike for equal pay and an end to violence

They want more pay because they're paid less.

Pay isn't just given to you. If you don't work the same hours you shouldn't be paid the same.

If you demand you get paid the same regardless, you're a selfish asshole, not fighting for equality.

When they do, along with other controls, the wage gap largely disappears.

because of the decisions of a small group of investors, all the workers who work on the factories just to survive are to blame and should be unemployed

Ideally they'd find jobs at companies that don't make shit cars when people in mass stop buying the American ones.

And women that want to have EQUAL rights

Like I said. They want to work less and be paid the same. They don't want equal rights, they want special privileges.

Happy to be pathetic in your eyes. The alternative is be a thoughtless pushover.
