I issue the following challenge to those fighting the class oppression of the white-male patriarchy:

(1) Start your own university. I’ll pick a name at random, PCU, hire only women, make the mascot an endangered species. Pay the all-woman faculty X% of the pay gap. Problem solved. You will get 100% of the best women faculty, because they won’t be suffering all that discrimination and patriarchy. Bonus, you can use the labor savings to fight the patriarchy!

I agree that the article has a lot of reporting, but it’s missing a lot of easily findable information. Chapter three of economic facts and fallacies addresses this very issue. Citation after citation of real, actual papers showing that if you control for the common sense factors the gender wage gap drops significantly across the board, including, some professions where women are paid more (the suppressive matriarchy, no doubt). I look forward to your ad-hominem responses rather than a refutation of the research.

People are paid based on how much value they generate in service to their customers. Period. Except for college administrators; their salaries are completely inexplicable as they generate no value to anyone.
