Is Rachel Maddow sincere?

80. it's not "comparable work" though. It is just an aggregate.

A comparison of medians. For example somebody who works six hour days only makes 75 cents for every dollar a person who works eight hour days makes. Wouldn't you feel like a sucker if somebody got you all exited about the injustice of people who make 75 cents for ever dollar some other people make and then you found out the one group was working six hours and the other group was working eight hours.

I sure would. Because then the problem would be "get group A more hours" instead of "get group A more money".

Being technically correct is not a defense. George W. Bush was "technically correct" when he said "the bottom end of the economic ladder receives the biggest percentage cuts". Yes, that was technically true, but it was also deliberately misleading because he was using that as a way to say "my tax cuts do not favor the rich".

It's not valid to push the 23 cent pay gap as evidence of discrimination if a majority of that gap is not due to discrimination.
