Men are also more likely to support their wives, their children, and that new boyfriend his ex-wife got after the divorce, and thus, has to work more, take less vacation time and go to work even while sick. Oh and he lost the custody after divorce, but you know, men are sooooo privileged!

[@EvilMonkey7818]

Divorce definitely affects wages. Many is the man who works 2 or 3 jobs to keep up with his monthly payments. He's working and earning more, but living a lower standard of living than before, while his ex-wife is living the same or even higher standard of living. The legal system still infantilizes women in many, many ways.

[@EvilMonkey7818]

Thomas Murrell One of my in-laws. She collects a large amount of alimony (kids are in their 30s, so it's not child support) from her ex-husband based off of when he was at his peak income. His income went down a lot, but the court doesn't care. He gets by living in an average house while she lives in the plush, large house he already paid for. Even worse, she's had a live-in boyfriend for years in the house her husband paid for, but she refuses to get married a second time because then she'll lose the free money she's getting from her ex-husband. She hasn't worked a job in over 30 years and her kids have been adults for nearly 20 years. She's been unofficially retired since the 1990s while her ex will probably continue working well into his 70s to support her.

Here’s another reason: the dad is more likely to work than the mom. When a married couple has a kid, either one will stay home or they will hire a nanny. If one stays home it’s usually the mom. Mom’s are much closer to children than dad’s. They go through pregnancy. Mom’s are much more likely to stay home with their kids than the dad’s.

[@raptorzpackgaming8860]

[@jakephilpott8300]

In my STEM class there was only one girl. That was it. Even the teacher was a boy, and the class was quite large. STEM is the field that brings in huge amounts of money, after all, as well as many many other factors. Since women generally are the stay at home parent, why would they be payed more on average? If they work less why would they get paid the same or more? You can't use an average of all women you can find or all men you can find who work... It's not fair, and highly inaccurate.

Secretly love this channel. I’m tired of being told that I’m oppressed. I’m not. Half the women complaining that they don’t get paid as much as men are in entry level positions; no one is stopping you from going after higher education or a better job. The people constantly talking about the patriarchy don’t realize that they are making themselves look weaker by only complaining and not actually doing anything to change what they don’t like about society. You want to be paid more? Go somewhere else. Ask for a raise. Pursue higher education. If you spent half as much time doing ANYTHING productive than you spend inventing non issues to be upset over you’d be seeing the results (more women in higher paying positions) you are asking for in no time.

Very good surface facts. I once had a female employee who, yes worked less hours and took more time off because she took care of her 2 children. She also mentioned that she cannot work overtime because he husband gets mad when she comes late. At the same time I had several men colleagues who just stood up at 6 pm and left while I and other female colleagues carried on working. Also I totally agree that employers won't pay you sky-high salary if you ask for smaller one. And also we should look at the way we raise our sons and daughters. Girls often are told to be modest and suggest they choose "easier" occupations while boy encouraged to take risks. I see some parallels with future behaviors.

[@run4walk]

When are girls told to choose "easier" occupations? When are boys taught to take risks? I'm a boy currently in university studying a course that leads to a very stressful job (decently paying, but high stress and huge suicide and burn-out rates attached to it) that is absolutely dominated by women. I'm an extreme minority on my course and once I graduate I'll be an extreme minority in the workforce. In the most egalitarian societies on earth, where there is the least amount of social programming and girls aren't told to do different jobs than men the pay gap gets *bigger* because women and men want to do different jobs. They aren't being taught anything.

[@noangel2002]

@@run4walk First, most societies are not egalitarian at all, some are trying to fix it, some are just pretending. Second, looks like that there is an age difference between us around 15 to 20 years and a lot of things have changed and improved during these years. I was told many times to choose something easier when I was little, so were my friends. I comment based on my experience and in my country it's ok for man to pressure wife to quit job or not to take extra hours at work so she could take care of the kids and home. And thirdly, there are so many first word countries without affordable and accessible childcare (Japan, UK, US etc), so if woman decides to have a child, she needs to make carrier sacrifices and most often it is not what you call "wanting a different job".

[@run4walk]

@@noangel2002 No, most societies aren't egalitarian, but the ones that *are* still have women earning less than men. In fact, the gap is larger there. The reason for this is that when you stop telling women to do certain jobs, they still tend to pick certain jobs that pay less. Women are far more likely to go into health care and men are far more likely to be business me or engineers and make big figures. I really don't understand the "do something easier" bit. Women have out-performed men in school for about as long as women have been allowed in schools. Most women that have children are not single mothers and they are still far more likely to stay at home with the kids - either quitting altogether or returning part-time. There is a man in the picture as well. Why is it that the man keeps his job and tries to get that promotion while the mother works less to look after the kids more. And again you may argue "that's what they get encouraged to do" and you'd be right in most countries. Stay at home dads are mocked and ridiculed. But if you go back to those egalitarian societies, like in Northern europe, where so much effort has been made to equalise workforces and to push men into the homes to look after their kids it's *still* the men sitting working 10 hours a day and the women at home with the kids for most of that time. And that's because of the choices that men and women make. A lot of the choices we make are driven by our biology. Men are naturally more competitive, so they are less likely to want to give up job competition. They also aren't as family oriented, whereas women are. They are very family oriented and naturally caring, especially about their own kids. Biology is the reason why we have society the way it is. Biology was around way before society and that's what human ancestors were doing long before there were any human rights movements. Men and women were taught these roles because those are the roles that their biology makes them want and makes them good at. That's why when you stop teaching gender roles to men and women they keep their gender roles. There is a larger force at work, and you're not going to suppress it. You will not suppress the human nature.

Great video. Very informative. Also on AVEREGE women are more agreeable than men and disagreeability enhances the chances of being succesful at work because to be a boss you need to be disagreeable. Also, on AVEREGE, once women have children they start working less hours but once men have children they start working more hours. Women can have children and not go to work for some months while men still go to work when they have children so men have less chances of not working for some months. Ironically, some feminists saying that fathers are not neccesary could be one of the causes for companies only giving free time to mothers once they have a child but not to fathers.

10. Men are paid less pensions during their lives as they die younger, even if women have worked less and payed less taxes. . This reason is not directly related to the pay but is closely related to earnings anyway. Men die younger and therefore get less pension during their life than women. Did not actually fact check this thing but would be logical. "Life expectancy (in USA) for females is 81.2 years; for males, it's 76.4 years. That difference of 4.8 years is the same as in 2011." = women enjoy pensions much longer than men.

This would appear logical but in reality, isn't. Life expectancy is calculated with a lot of variables. It's an average. The reason life expectancy is rising is because we have far, far fewer stillbirths than in previous times. Men die younger ON AVERAGE precisely because they are more likely to die in the workplace. Once they start to claim a pension, the difference (in life expectancy) narrows.

[@rocheyb1]

When women take time off work - either as standard maternity leave or to dedicate their time to raising children - they can sometimes, as individuals, become obsolete in the workplace. Their colleagues might have successfully absorbed the workload in the woman's absence, proving to the boss that the office/department can operate with one less salaried employee. Changes to working practices, software or legislation can diminish the value of the skills held by the person no longer participating in the day-to-day activities of the business, as can a changing customer portfolio and the strong relationships that colleagues have formed with customers while that woman has been away. So the careers of women can lose momentum, encouraging them to take sideways or backward steps, or to prioritise things like favourable working hours over pay and future prospects.

[@Tabby412]

Pregnancy is a choice. A woman accepts all reprocutions wen having a child. This includes the statement offered. Think on that. It is a choice guided variable, and thus not a proper counter-argument to the bs wage gap

[@rocheyb1]

There is a Gender Wage Gap. The bullshit part is the claim that it is due to some form of systemic sexism. It is actually due to many different benign reasons, including those I have outlined in my comment above. I'm not sure about "A woman accepts all repercussions when having a child" - you're assuming that they have a clear understanding of exactly what those repercussions will be before they decide to have the baby. But nevertheless, I think we are on the same side of this one: The Gender Wage Gap, as represented by the Feminist Lobby, is bullshit - and if they want to be taken seriously, they need to begin conducting themselves with greater intellectual honesty.

[@Tabby412]

That it true, sadly, there are tons of people that get pregnant but dont accept or understand all reprocutions. They should, but saying something should happen doesnt always mean it does. but it is true, the feminist wage gap is utter bs. Can you go into further detail about the wage gap not using feminist ideals, please?

[@rocheyb1]

The Gender Wage Gap exists, insofar as men - as a group or taken as an average - earn more money than women. The Feminist Lobby try to make us believe that it's because men get paid more than women for doing the exact same job. But Equal Pay legislation exists in the US, Canada, Australia and within the individual countries of the EU (including the UK) so that practice is illegal. If feminists believe that men are being paid more for doing the same job, where are all the lawsuits? And why don't companies only employ women, if they can get away with paying them less? The reality is that women are far more likely than men to take lower paid work. Nursing and the other caring professions, for example, are not highly paid, and many women opt for part-time work due to the greater flexibility that it allows while also raising children. In those households where the man earns enough to provide for the whole family, there is less need for the woman to go out to work; she might take a part-time job to supplement the household income but they can afford to go without her wages, if necessary. And, as I explained in a previous comment, some women suspend their careers to have children, with the intention of going back to their jobs in due course, only to find that the working environment has changed in their absence, causing them to reconsider their plans. Men, meanwhile, don't tend to take voluntary breaks from employment and are therefore more likely to be working full-time, and to tend towards highly skilled and higher paid professions. Some feminists would claim that all the above is, in itself, evidence of sexism and I think the original Feminist Movement had a point. But to identify an imbalance in the number of men and women in any given profession as evidence of sexism, simply based on the raw numbers, is a logical fallacy; specifically, it's a confusion of Equality of Outcome with Equality of Opportunity. Equal Opportunities and Equal Pay legislation has been in force in all of the major economies in the West for a generation now, so - at least in terms of the Law - I think the sexism charge is invalid, here and now in 2016. Some individuals still hold or promote archaic attitudes to the notion of gender equality, but in doing so they operate contrary to the Law and can be sanctioned accordingly. Recently, girls have begun to outnumber boys in terms of university places - certainly in the US and I believe in the UK, too - and there is evidence to suggest that women below the age of 30 in full-time employment are earning more than their male counterparts, so there is change afoot. Whether it's for the better or worse is a different discussion.

Not sure if a store is for women or men - look at the other customers around you - they will be mostly women! Why is this? Don't the owners of retail stores know that men out earn women? They know it is BS - they know which gender has the most to spend - and it isn't men! How is this economic miracle achieved? Earn less but have more to spend? Women spend the money that men earn.

wait thats actually more women get more money in thier leaves as what you said :O yet they still want more :/

[@yourfutureself3392]

Ironically, that may be PARTIALLY caused by feminism saying that fathers are unneccesary. Men taking less time off gives them more experience and more chances to get hired.

The point about sick time is really poignant when you consider the fact that men get sick more often than women due to having weaker immune systems on average. I can't count the number of times I've woken up on a workday with my throat on fire and my airways almost completely closed off, and yet went to work anyway despite every fiber of my being compelling me to call in.

Thought experiment for you. You're a hiring manager of a large corporation. Your business depends upon making and maintaining long-term business relationships with clients. You have two prospective candidates, both fresh from college, a man and a woman, equally qualified. You are going to spend 20,000 dollars training this new hire. Who do you hire? Before you answer, consider the following questions. Which one of them is more likely to quit their job to start a family? Even if they don't quit to start a family, which one of them is more likely to miss work to stay home with a sick child? Which one of them is more likely to need to leave early/come in late due to child related functions? Which one of them is going to require paid time off when a child is born? When you answer those questions, then tell me who you hire.

+Patrick J. Colliano i would choose the person i prefer more, ignoring statistics a sec as statistics aren't everything, however if i met neither i would look at some background too. If the man is young and inexperienced, and the women is a former business owner who is very dedicated, it may be better. There are way too many factors but going off the info you gave i would go for the man. It's just logical.

SubXero man he said they are equally qualified.EQUALLY.

Patrick J. Colliano The man, if going for pure productivity.

The thing that I like about this dude is that he backs up his arguments. This makes him actually reliable. This is why I believe him instead of femists that push that kind of bullshite.

IKR at my job, our 2 busiest days of the week are always understaffed because 2/3s of the female employees refuse to work the weekend, even thought they were hired expecting to work those days. but once they learned the boss could be wrap around their finger they started making their own schedules

[@minimasterd]

You are my hero and role model, I look up to you. Thank you

[@badmoth242xl3]

Dr.Shaym, would it be considered ethical if I am interested the feminist debate mostly because it is very interesting and debating is simply fun( this does not mean I don’t care about men’s issues, having be a male myself)

[@elizabethafton9847]

Thank you for not cursing so much in this one. I share a room with my feminazi sister, and If she hears so much as a damn, she gets our parents. I really love your videos too. It lets me keep up on the stupid excuses for humans called feminists. Thank you man. 😃😀😀😃
