Clever girls, stupid boys?

36. As was yours

And a point of order here. I'm not making that argument. You are.

I simply questioned how you get from here to there.

Again, your initial point was that gender discrimination was not a factor in the gender wage gap.

That's not what I said. Putting words in someone's mouth and then arguing from that basis is strawman, btw.

You have yet to back up your own initial claim, which does indeed go against the findings of most reputable social scientists.

Another point of order here. It was someone else who implied that discrimination accounts for the majority of the pay gap. I know of no competent and comprehensive pay gap study which backs this up. Even the AAUW (a feminist organization) admits the unexplained portion of the pay gap amounts to only 7% and they further admit that even within that 7% there are other factors not related to discrimination which are difficult, if not impossible to measure. Furthermore if you include total compensation and not just raw wages, the total compensation gap gets even smaller since women tend to chose jobs that include better benefits.

Graduating to a Pay
Gap found that a 7 percent difference in the earnings of male and female
college graduates one year after graduation was still unexplained.

Research suggests that differences in education and other measurable factors
explain part of the difference in earnings between racial and ethnic groups.
However, as is the case with gender, part of the racial/ethnic pay gap cannot
be explained by factors known to affect earnings and is likely due, at least in
part, to discrimination.

This matches up with every other pay gap study I know about, including the Consad study which is still the most comprehensive to date and places the unexplained portion of the pay gap (and which part that due to discrimination likely is partly to blame) at between 4.8 and 7.1 percent.

So I could really care less on what ground you're on. People who claim credentials on the internet anonymously just don't impress me that much. YMMV.
