They do a heck of a lot better job than your survey did ...

It wasn't a "survey," it was a data analysis by the bureau of labor statistics. You're probably going to have to elaborate before you dismiss the fucking Pew Research Center as a non credible source.

There were two parts. Part A) was that women get paid less, and the author did determine that by looking at the Bureau of Labor study. But again, no one disputes the fact that women get paid less, so this wasn't the relevant part.

Then there was part B), that woman took more time off, and that was based on a survey:

In spite of its narrowing, the gender pay gap persists. Why is this? In our survey, women were more likely to say they had taken career interruptions to care for their family.

As I keep explaining though, a survey that shows women take more time of does not show that that's the reason they get paid less. You would need some sort of study that controls for other factors and then actually shows that whatever factor (in this case time off) is responsible for whatever percentage of the income gap.

Meanwhile I provided a study that showed exactly that, and found that 73% of the pay gap was caused by factors other than occupation/parenthood/time off/etc., or in other words that it was caused by discrimination. The only thing anyone has had to say about it is that it's a few years old, as if that completely invalidates it.

Credible doesnt mean you agree with it, Loramin.

I wanted to do a point by point breakdown like normal, but I'm at work and short on time so ...

No, I'm not dismissing the entire Pew Research Center. All I did was point out that the blog post of one member of that organization: A) didn't make the point you thought it was making, B) even if it was making that point, which it wasn't, there was zero evidence to support it.

Again, it's very simple. The claim was that:
A) women get paid less (we all agree on this part)
B) women take more time off (again, we all agree on this)

but now here's the really important part:

C) B) is the sole cause of A)

The author of the article herself even said that C) was not true, so I don't understand why y'all are having such a hard time with it.

Loramin, youre at work at the job you chose after going to the school of your choice, and going out with your girlfriends doesnt look like[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
