Ehh. For the most part, the wage gap for genders is due to the actual jobs men and women are doing. There are a lot less women in high risk and physically demanding jobs, which tend to pay more.

One of the best paid jobs in Australia (not including doctors and things, be realistic) is working in the mines because it;s a risky job.

Any time there's a post like this, there's generally a ********* that follows arguing the "wage gap" issue, and the majority usually falls in agreement with this. I figured I'd preemptively strike and (hopefully) cut down on it.

Um while that may be true in some cases, most of the wage gap issues are created when men and women doing the same job in an office, lets say, get paid completely different salaries...

that's true, and in those cases, men even tend to earn less than women.

That's because men statistically work longer hours (despite working the same job as their female counterparts), are more likely to ask for a promotion, and are more likely to ask for a raise. Women need to step the **** up

Plus on average women have less job experience, since they often take a leave to raise children, which means that they don't progress in their job in that time.
Also, many employers see that as a risk they don't want to take.
And their work differs, even if it's the same job.
And you have to factor in 3 sick days per month, which accounts for 10% work time loss.
But they should get the same pay for the same work, just like men should not be treated worse than women, which they are outside of places like the American south, where transvaginal ultrasounds are mandatory before abortions, or where in some places spousal abuse of the wife is legal.
But we need harder punishments for people who accuse others of rape, or any pther crime (at least the maximum punishment the person that was wrongly accused).

Someone actually did some calculations abou the average wage gap, and then the average cost of dates, etc justifying the fact that men er paid more.

Since the costs of an average man to go dating, movies, dinner etc with a woman, pretty much adds up to the wage gap. I can't remember the study, but it was pretty accurate.

In other words it evens out since men are usually the ones that pay the most in the family.

Yes, I am gay. And if I had the choice, I would have chosen to be straight. There was no decision is sexual orientation for me, or any of my homosexual colleagues whatsoever.

Does anyone have that story about that woman who started a production agency or something and hired only women and they were complete bitches who put her out of business? I would like to read that again.

A pleasant comic relief story...

BUT, what if there was a TV company only hiring men? We'd be reading a whole other news story, one about sexism, misogyny, and a bunch of other words referring to the evil tyranny of men who blatantly still control the world

That's what I kept thinking while I read it. I thought this was the funniest part though:

"Though I will not absolve myself of all guilt, I believe the business was ruined by the destructive jealousy and in-fighting of an all female staff."
(She blames herself and her female staff for the failure)

And while I stand by my initial reason for excluding male employees - because they have an easy ride in TV - if I were to do it again, I'd definitely employ men. In fact, I'd probably employ only men.
(She now considers men as superior employees, yet still maintains that things are too easy for men. She's feels there should be some sort of unnatural way to level the playing-field for women, and she would still consider that just.)

Problem with her is, she doesn't recognize the biggest issue of why her company failed. **** management. you can't have a GM who doesn't crack down, or a boss who doesn't play bad cop. If you have behavioral issues in staffing, replacements can be filled easy. In the TV industry there are people who would kill to get those job opportunities. Blaming it all on her women staffing is a scapegoat. Sure some of the reasons behind the failure were an all women staff, but also an owner who didn't know when to put her foot down, hiring incompetent individuals who can't differentiate work from a social mixer and just incompetence on budgeting.(High salaries for most the staff. Boo hoo hoo, women are underpaid so I am gonna overpay my entire staff to compensate.)

I think she partially recognizes it, but not fully. Also, my philosophy on employees is that if you can't train them to do their job without constant supervision, then you should fire them. It's a huge waste of time for me to supervise someone doing something I could probably do quicker and better myself. There's no reason to pay for that.

Exactly. Bothering to get staffing and delegation of duty is pointless if what free time extra staffing clears up is overtaken by having to constantly babysit who ever is supposed to do it.
