crupus: carryondarkparadise: crupus: carryondarkparadise: And anti-feminists think that income inequality is a myth…. You could at least google what earnings means if you are that stupid. Thanks for calling me stupid when you don’t even know me. You’re cool. When you publicly display your stupidity I don’t need to personally know you. Actually yes you do. Because I’m 100% sure I’m smarter than you are. I graduated 2nd in my class with a gpa of 4.1. What was your gpa? 2.5? 3.1? I am far far from stupid. Grow up and stop judging people.

When you claim the wage gap is real, you really DO sound stupid.

This is an average. Do you know what average means? It means every man and woman in the US. The wage gap is real but its not due to sexism!

Also, here is a study I did myself, with sources from the BLS

“Top Five Jobs Women Take:

Secretaries and administrative assistants Registered nurses Elementary and middle school teachers Cashiers Nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides

Top Five Jobs Men Take

Construction Engineering Law Enforcement Firemen Electricians

Lets look at the yearly salaries for women’s top five jobs:

Now lets look at the yearly salaries for men’s top five jobs:

As you can see, the jobs men take more often have a high risk of death and serious mental stress. The jobs that women take more often have a low risk of death and have instead minors risks such as body aches and disease. From the top five jobs by gender, you can see women tend to take safer jobs while men tend to take more dangerous jobs. The danger of those jobs must be taken into account and the people working in those dangerous jobs must be compensated.

The wage gap you hear about is an average of the entire nation. It does not represent a man and a woman in the same job field. It represents every single man and every single women in the USA. That is why it is called average. As you can see, women tend to take lower paying jobs while men tend to take higher paying jobs.”
