So the gender pay gap is real, but gender isn’t real?

@Dolimyte sure it is. If feelings determine reality, anyone can claim to be anything

@Torsten nobody said all feelings determine reality, certain feelings can determine gender though. That said, I'm going to back out of this exchange before you conflate sex and gender again. Have a fine day.👋

@Dolimyte no, feelings do not determine gender. You can not just magically switch to a male or a female based on feelings. You can live as the opposite sex, but you will never be that for real. Biology is everything and you can never change that about yourself

just seen you said you were backing out, so have a good one bud.

@SatanBurger sure, we need money for a lot of things, not just supporting children, but if you enter a wage based contract, your earnings ARE based on your work...

@calabaciteh They're not based on your work if employers are discriminating because you got kids. That has nothing to do with the actual work but the employer anticipating different things due to gender which brings it back to the original point. You having children doesn't affect the work you do at your job unless you bring your kids to work.

@SatanBurger No, but nobody is discriminating because you got kids. The actual reason is because having kids takes time away from work. If you attend your workplace every single day of your pregnancy, up to the moment you give birth, without missing an hour then it absolutely doesn't affect the work you do, but that is rare.

@ArcticDave Stereotypical Karens are usually conservatives though.
