Tech bros’ attitude to female colleagues stuck in dark ages::Research sheds light on attitudes holding industry back
I thought it takes a man and a woman to make a child. In addition, in many countries, both the man and woman can take leave when they have a child.
These sorta points greatly weaken your argument. You using child care as an alternative explanation towards why woman may make less is likely a symptom of the bias women face in the job market.
I’m well aware of biology, thank you.
It’s an undeniable fact that there are more single mothers who look after their children than single fathers. I’ll leave it to you to figure out why.
Women working fewer hours in their working lives is by far and away the biggest reason for the gap between the total lifetime earnings of men and total lifetime earnings of women. The biggest reason women take fewer hours is because of pregnancy and childcare. That’s why I brought it up. I thought that was obvious, but apparently not.
Prove to me that women earn less for doing the same work. Find me a job listing that advertises a lower wage for women. You won’t find one. Because that’s not the issue here.
That would be asking for trouble, duh.
It’s illegal in my country to specify gender too, so all ads say “(m/f)”, do you really think there won’t be a hiring bias when hiring for a role where one gender is predominant?
