    I think everyone is arguing different points here. The first comment spoke about the gender pay gap, which is not restricted to same job/same experience. It also considers that positions that are typically filled by women (care, nursing, teaching, etc) are systematically underpaid, which is also a perfectly valid way to define a gender wage gap.

    But for some reason you responded by singling out the same job/same experience data, then told the first guy to educate himself.

    Everyone here is saying the gender wage gap very much exists in general in Europe, and you’re singling out one smaller data point where it doesn’t.

      No, that person specifically implied that once they start publishing salary ranges the gender pay gap will collapse.

      That person lives in a fairy tale world of non-existent salary discrimination that they furiously fight.

      Their heart is sorta in the right place, but they’re essentially a useless idiot, who with their crusade distracts everyone from actually trying to understand the real reasons behind the unadjusted gender pay gap and any efforts of solving it.
