Why Do People Still Believe the Myth of the Gender Wage Gap?

It isn't real. Average differences in salary between men in contrast to women are largely due to one over-riding factor: choice.
Men have different interests, due to the fact they're not like women. Men like things, women like people. Men gravitate to objects like cars, trains, planes and things that go BOOM! Women like to talk, gossip, socialise, and hence they'll wind up in careers in nursing, psychology and teaching. Men are far more analytical, and will gravitate to the (highly sought-after, and therefore highly-paid) STEM positions, and end up becoming a data analyst, statistician, or invent something that they can sell to Elon Musk.
Men have greater ambition, work longer hours, are far more willing to sacrifice their leisure time with family in order to make it to the top of the corporate ladder. Women take far more holidays, sick leave, and are FAR more likely to opt to work part-time rather than full-time.
It really is this simple. "Discrimination" has NOTHING to do with it!
I mean, come on, think about this. If it were true that women got, let's say, 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man to do the exact same job, don't you think employers would do all they could to get away with hiring only women?

@MartinTheFirst look bro, I’m on your side with a lot of shit not being fair about women for example they serve way less prison time than men for anything they do but to say they’re lazy is the reason is a bad attitude. It’s not true, if it was I’d agree
