If women rule then why on average do they get paid less than men?

Because that takes into account pregnancy and the types of jobs women on average do.

We don't get paid less for the same job.

@memyselfandyou Wikipedia is not a reliable source.

Peer review articles, please

@SW-User How about raw data: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-poverty/historical-income-people.html

@memyselfandyou Hahahahahahahaha Really? It shows no info on pregnancy (which cut pay),days off(women take more) and types of jobs.

This is horrible. Just numbers with no information.

@SW-User In SOME cases women get paid less foe equal work, but not in areas like government, teaching, etc. A decent union takes care of that.

@ChipmunkErnie Hi. How are you?

Some but if caught, they can fight per equal pay act of 1963. Women shouldn't tolerate it.

Most is due to what I posted above. Women tend to hold lower paying jobs and do more unpaid work than men. These things are causes that affect overall pay.

@SW-User My understanding: Women make, on average, 93 cents on the dollar to what a man makes for the same work. It is true that women make 78 cents on the dollar to what a man makes, but not for the same work. There still is a pay gap for the same work, though. It's just smaller than the number we keep hearing.

@33person exactly... thanks so much!
SW-User
@33person There is a lot to factor into that. What contributes to these few cents. Taking more holidays and pregnancy can affect it.

@SW-User Maybe that's all that it is; maybe not. But it's worth considering there may be more factors, some of them not justified.
