A question about the gender wage gap.

81. Having children along with gender roles are the problem

Women do just as well and even better than men with salary in most areas of the economy....before she has children. Once she has that child, her ability to keep up with men in salary and career progression plummets.

Reasons have to do with everything from the woman's own life choices to men unwilling/unable to take on any tasks of a caregiver role.

Think about it...if a girl joins a sports team and heavily involved in sports...she's viewed as strong and assertive, confident, etc.. Even though she's doing things boys tends to do, it is encouraged thanks to feminism.
But if a boy decides he wants to do ballet, our society questions what his sexual orientation might be. Feminism has done a pretty decent job getting girls accepted in traditionally male activities. It it has so far done a poor job trying to figure out how to get it more acceptable for boys to do anything that is perceived to be something girls do. Even if the boy wants to, there is enormous social pressure telling him to avoid it.
