[@JustAGuyWithThoughts]

@@TeenageDirtbag8 There's a reason most schools are dominated by female teachers, just as with early childcare. Men are so vilified now that people won't even give them a chance. The irony being, that male teachers connect with children differently, have different approaches to teaching, and quite often have the greater impact on their students. Furthermore, with the rife single motherhood these days, those male teachers are often the closest that many children ever get to having a father figure in their lives. Male teachers used to be the norm, and look at the difference in schools and society between then and now. Students were well mannered, well behaved, took their studies seriously and grew to be mature and well mannered adults. Now, students are generally unruly, rude, incompetent and grow to be adults who can't handle the basic reality of the world.

[@woodenmetal2977]

A few years ago, when I used to work at a supermarket, a female employee filed a complaint that she was getting paid less than her co-worker in the same department. Naturally, this complaint quickly reached the regional manager's desk, who visited our store a couple of days later. The store manager swore there wasn't any shenanigans going on and personally went through both employees' pay stubs from current to six months back. The regional manager also checked the pay stubs, but found that the male employee was, indeed, getting paid more. However, as the saying goes, the devil is in the details. While both employees worked the same number of scheduled hours, the male employee worked substantially more overtime hours - at least three times more. He also worked during every single holiday, while the female employee took a half day for a majority of those holidays. Lastly, the male employee had six years of seniority over the female employee, and had a bachelors degree while the female employee was still attending college. Throughout the investigation, the male employee was placed on unpaid leave, and a little over half the store's employees sided against him without knowing the full story. He was one of those quiet guys who hardly spoke to anyone at work - just did his job and went home when he was finished. When the investigation had finished, the male employee was asked to come back to work with an apology waiting for him, but he resigned about half a week before the investigation concluded. He said he never felt more embarrassed and ashamed for merely doing his job and trying to do some good by working overtime. After he resigned, the production quality in his department took a nosedive. After another investigation, it came to light that the reason he was taking so much overtime was to correct the mistakes of his [former] co-workers, including the female employee. I asked him why he didn't just instruct his co-workers how to do their jobs properly, and he said he's not good at talking to people. The only reason he talked to me was because we played World of Warcraft together and were in the same guild. TL;DR: men have it rough.

When my husband was still working in IT, he took many jobs he didn't really like, and negotiated hard for good, well paying contracts, so that I could stay home and homeschool our daughters. He sacrificed a lot to do that. Generally, companies didn't like people talking about how much they got paid, since everyone was being paid what they negotiated for. Sometimes, though, it still came out in conversation. One of his male co-workers had the same position and job description my husband did, but turned out to be paid a lot less than my husband. He lowballed himself. He also really hated working in IT, and eventually moved on to other things. Another co-worker was a woman who was also my husband's direct boss. Not upper management, but still management. She was being paid a LOT more than my husband was and, as far as my husband was concerned, she was worth every penny that company paid her. Still, she got paid what she did because that's what she pushed for when they hired her. There could be some pretty large differences in pay for people doing the same job, and it all came down to negotiation.

She literally cried about it and threw the gender pay gap in my face. It sucks but you know what? it's not my fault they put an ad up offering more than they were 3 months ago when they hired you. That's just how things work sometimes. At my first job I was the head baker and they hired another baker and she was getting like $14-$15/hr and I was getting 10.50 when I was literally her boss. You know why? She had more experience and she lived far so she said she's not accepting anything less than that so they gave it to her. You could imagine if the genders were reversed what people would say about that.

At my previous job, we were a lot of woman in the office and 90% of them were mothers, some new mothers. The amount of times those woman took off because their child is sick was crazy to me. I don't have a family like they did and felt like it was very unfair that I had this looming deadline Where I had to work late into the night, when they just leave at 17h. (by the way, I really did earn less that some of my male colleagues but I also earned more that some of the others) I'm still working hard and at night but I've made the decision that when I'm married and have kids, I will drop my work deadline at the drop of a hat just to be with them.

In OC CA I interviewed for a job in a factory for QA. The factory made medical plugs. I asked for $15 an hour and the lady that interviewed me told me the job was paying $12 and there was not a budget to pay $15. I asked for $14 she said no. I asked for $13 she said no, $12 take it or leave it. I told her I needed to take some time to think about the job before accepting it and she told me to call before 4:30pm that day to let her know if I wanted the job. I took the job and while training I was paired up with a young guy who was training for the same job. We started conversing and I asked him when he interviewed and he had his interview after mine. I asked what he was getting paid and the same lady that told me I could only get $12 gave him $15! I asked if he asked for $15 and he said no! He said she told him the job was $15! I went back to her that day and asked why the guy training with me doing the same job was offered $15 when I was refused $15 hr? She said to my face that because he was a guy he will be promoted quickly so he is worth more! I stayed one month and left once I had something else lined up. These things do happen, it's not just made up. I also recently was told in an interview that I was dressed too nice and I didn't look like I would do the job because of it, but I dressed like anyone else would dress for an interview.

I work in corporate America. Anecdotal but I have noticed that my male co-workers are much more aggressive with career progression and tend to ask for more raises. I remember when I was getting a promotion and I asked two women managers how I should negotiate for more and they both expressed that they had never asked for more and just took what they got. The managers I talked to who are men were open and said what they did to get more pay. I have noticed that in my role now which is a bit more senior, the women are more aggressive about getting raises and promotions though. It all depends but I do tend to see that men go after more pay because they are willing to not be "nice" or whatever.

When I became a single father with needing to take more time for the kids during the day I had a pay cut. I had to give up a job I was on call 24 hours and able to make an excellent pay, but I had to take work so I did not travel for days and could not leave to go out of state if needed in the middle of the night. There were ladies that had no kids and did similar work as I did that made much more than I did before my job change. In college I worked the midnight shift at a gas station and would cover the 2nd shift to help out lady friends but they would never take a midnight shift, you did the midnight shift alone and had tasks all over the store and had to check the tanks outside so they could not stay in the safe cage. There was almost always a guy on 2nd shift with a woman, but there was always 2 people working. The company hired woman for the day shifts but I never saw a lady working the midnight shift alone. There was a small pay incentive on the midnight shift and women could have taken that extra pay and worked midnight but they choose not to.

Very nuanced issue, very dependent on your company culture. My wife experienced sexism and gender pay gap at work a good 10 years ago. She worked as an account specialist in media advertising. An adjacent department had her training all the new hires for an account planner position, which was a very similar job to what she did. But these positions paid between 5-10k more than her salary. She brought up this disparity to the proper channels with the promise that it would be addressed, no progress after 6 months of monthly reminders. she called their bluff and applied for the same position that she was training and moved to that department instead. They accused her of not being patient enough. When they had to immediately fill her old position they hired a younger man with no experience and paid him the exact amount she was campaigning for to begin with, and she had to train him too of course.

[@marcuscho1166]

I think the pay gap does not apply to real jobs, but instead to people making money that is based on interest, whether the people are interested in the content/ things that you do, which is also based on gender(e.g, modeling and sports.) Whereas for real jobs like blue-collar jobs, it’s the other way around, the job is there and it depends whether you’re interested in it.

In the end, neither of the women came on because the hours were too much. My husband is always doing overtime like most people in the company.

[@KaizenLegacy]

There is a "gender pay gap" in STEM fields, but it isn't what people think. Anecdotally, I had several direct reports at a previous employer (VERY large consulting firm). When it came time to do the first round of annual reviews for my team (this was about 10 years ago now), I noticed that despite the fact that every single one of my direct reports was at the same level, the women were being paid ~15% more. In some cases, this was justified (as the woman in question was a high performer). In other cases, it was just the result of the previous hiring manager's perception of the pay gap (she would literally bump up the offer for female candidates). When Microsoft, Google, and Facebook did internal studies on this several years ago, they found out they were in a similar situation. It took me 3 years to correct that problem within my team (and I was fighting senior management on it the whole way). At the same time, the notion that men want men in positions of power is nonsense. At that same company, there were levels of management that were almost always promoted internally (i.e. they would almost never hire externally for those positions). The pool of candidates was 75% male (just the nature of the business). One year, there were 11 promotions to this level of management (which was a senior management level). 10 of those 11 were female (again, 75% of the candidates were male - yet 90% of the promotions were female). You can find this kind of nonsense happening in a lot of big firms throughout the US. Brett is 100% correct - they would much rather post on LinkedIn that 90% of this year's promotions were women than actually look for the most qualified people. The USWNT nonsense is even worse. They were offered the exact same contract the men's team had and they refused it because it would have been less money than they were making with the contract they negotiated (both contracts were based on revenue coming in). To make them "equal", US Soccer basically combined them into 1 organization and split the money up from there. Effectively, the men's team is subsidizing the women's team at this point. Imagine you have a car dealership where sales guys are paid on commission (a very similar situation to the previous US Soccer contracts). One salesperson sells 30 cars a month, and another sells 2. Obviously, the first guy makes a lot more money than the second guy. But, their new contract will combine their sales (total 32) and split their commission equally. This means the first guy would get commissions on 16 cars (a massive loss) and the second guy makes commissions on 16 (which is a massive gain over his performance). With regards to US Soccer, this is going to result in 2 situations: 1) men simply will opt to not play for the national team and just play for their professional clubs, and 2) men who are 3-4th string players for the men's team (i.e. good, but not quite good enough to make the team) will "identify" as women and play for the "women's" team. The latter will effectively create a men's A team and a men's B team, where the men are making 100% of the money and the women are making 0%. In short, congratulation ladies, you played yourself!

[@mjrc123]

Just found your channel and 6 videos in I really appreciate your style and take. The only thing I disagree with in this particular video is at 19:38. I absolutely do not think there is equality of opportunities. For men vs women there probably is (or very close to), but the real issue is upbringing and geography. A child growing up in inner-city poverty sadly does not have the same opportunity as their affluent peer in the suburbs. Some of this is situational - social mobility, varied lived experiences etc. But some is (dare I say) institutional. How can the aforementioned children genuinely have the same opportunity in standardised testing when answering the elementary school question “describe your perfect day at the beach”. One has only ever seen it in movies / on TV, the other has had yearly vacations there. Educationally speaking, there needs to be contextuality to better provide a level playing field for children. A little off-topic I’m aware, but the absolute nature of the statement just jarred a little so thought I’d post… Look forward to watching more going forward and thank you for your honesty. 👍🏼

The next day they confronted me angrily claiming sexism. I asked what they wrote for expected pay on their application. They said minimum because they needed the job really bad.

I work in surgery. I can tell you there is a huge difference between female and male doctors. Most, not all, but most male doctors I work with are confident, take less time to do a case, there by saving the patient money, they are more likely to know what to do in critical situations and especially not get emotional or lose their cool. As far as staff goes, when the OR has males all around, things run smoother. Again, not all, but the overwhelming majority. Women struggle to multi task, handle stress, respond with speed, critically think, and they gossip a lot. Men want to get stuff done. We don't mess around. Yet HR never sees how we work. They only care about how long you have been on the clock. They see one case to the next, and not what happens in between.

[@TheNickjhaight]

One of my favorite things to point out whenever this topic comes up in conversation is, "If women actually are paid less than men for doing the same job, why would any company ever hire men?" Companies exist to make money so if you can achieve both the same quality and quantity of work from either a man or a woman (which I assume is VERY often the case), why wouldn't every company hire all of the qualified women instead of equally qualified men? I appreciate this argument because it is so succinct and despite how obvious the point it makes is, I have only ever heard it used once so I find it more useful in engaging in a dialogue with people who only "understand" the buzz-words rather than the actual statistics; that is, assuming of course that they're reasonable enough to have an actual conversation.

There is not a person on planet Earth who could walk into my job and do my day to day duties. So yes, anyone who were to theoretically walk into my job would get paid less.

That wasn't gender pay gap, that was a company trying to get the same job done for less. I can absolutely guarantee you that men were offered the same for that job, they simply chose not to accept it because they knew they could get more elsewhere. Businesses do that all the time. I see it all the time that businesses advertise my job for much much less, it's my choice not to accept it and look elsewhere for what I think it's worth. It has nothing to do with gender, it's just businesses trying to protect or bolster their bottom line.

As a woman, my pay has always been equal to men's. But, I do get sexually harassed at work every single day. So. .. Brett, some of us get impacted based on self esteem.

Do you know for sure that you are paid the same as men? How do you know? Do you have the same qualifications and experience or better? Most organisations forbid employees disclosing pay. If your total package includes bonus or other discretionary pay it is even less likely you will be paid the same. Trust me, I am a man and have seen actual pay data for men and women. It is never fair.

Most of the pay gap is derived from women in general working less hours than men. So say if a man worked 10 hours a day and woman worked 8 hours a day, that makes a disparity in pay of 20% And it seems like what the "equal pay" people are after, is the women working 8 hours and get paid for 10 hours of work, which you know, isn't right in any way. =T
