    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.

    Who said the women do less work than you? They do equal work and are asking for equal pay. Are you insinuating that you can do more work than a woman possibly could? Because that’s just not true.

      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.

        What the hell is BLS data? Are there links or something how does saying that prove you do more work than other people. I don’t understand. I work with women in my field and many of them are better than me. Some of the most productive people I know are women. I would expect them to make more than me. But by your stance some statistics say you should get more because of your penis?

        Some statistics somewhere may have the numbers you want but it doesn’t mean women aren’t capable it just means currently they aren’t being given the same chances. You are reading things wrong as indicated by all the down votes.
