      That wouldn’t accomplish anything because if I make more for the hours I work all of a sudden there’s a pay gap again.

        A pay gap for who? What the hell are you even talking about

          Did you read the thread? Did you read the title of the thread? Did you read any of the previous comments?

          My specific situation is not important beyond the fact that I’m a guy so I am statistically going to work more hours and to devote more of my life to work as well as choosing my career based on income rather than any sort of life satisfaction than the average woman.

              Why do men get more for the same amount of work?

              They don’t. When you control for career choice and hours worked the pay gap disappears.
