Turn this around. Why should two people with otherwise identical resumes who are hired for an identical job receive different pay for the job?

Touchy that your wife wears the pants.

Because one asks for more.

Take any two candidates, and that's the way it be, full stop. Nothing else is involved.

This would just be terrible parenting. Your role as a parent is to help your kids find their passions. We have two daughters and if they told me they wanted to pursue one of those careers I would lay out pros and cons and help them understand what each role would mean.

One thing I have witnessed is my wife, who is a stay at home mother, is that working women are very jealous. They look down on her while also being very envious that she can do that. We've subverted what most women are naturally gifted in, child raising and told them that in order to be successful they have to do what men do.

If I was touchy about it, why would I mention it here amongst the people I perceive as very wrong, with whom I argue with all day when I'm bored?

This doesn't happen. It doesn't happen because there aren't two identical people like this. If this did happen, why wouldn't the company then hire the one who takes lower pay?

It's a hypothetical. And apparently, women largely disagree and would say that this very thing happens all the time.

But you're saying the gender pay gap is a myth, right? So how would you tell women, on the whole, that they're wrong about it?
