[@leonwu2775]

I'm gonna humour you, and let's say if they did do that, it would lead to more women in the workforce or in that particular demographic, which (assuming the employer is sexist) is a big no for them. On top of that, more women in specific jobs means that there will be a higher chance of positions of power being taken up by women due to more women in that job. Since the gender pay gap applies to most jobs, we can assume that if your logic was applied to most jobs, society would become a matriarch. This is contradictory since the patriarch is all about keeping men in power and women not in power, therefore your point is invalid.

I work in a higher position (but not manager) than my male colleague, started before him, and had had more experience in general before we started in the company. I do more complex work than him and have more responsibility, but we work the same hours. I learned at a company party that he earns more than me (there isn't much openness about salary so just learned recently). It's not as much as 22 % more than me, but given everything, I do feel like I am not valued the same. My contributions are higher to the company, looked at it objectively, so I should be making more in that sense. I partly take responsibility for the gap, as I find it hard to negotiate. Though I have tried every single year to negotiate my salary. It's hard when you don't know the standard wage you "should" be paid, you might end up underselling yourself. Men, I experience, are a lot better at valuing themselves higher, and yes sometimes higher than what they actually contribute. But it works out for them, so why shouldn't they! So I think we have a job to do, to get women to value their work higher, so they also can get higher salaries and raises. Especially in fields where you can't compare your role to a "standard" salary.. higher that "inherent" value for one owns work as a woman, we gotta work on it!!

[@thegorgeousonefrmLPG]

They do not mention it, but it is implied. It is another way we can see the difference between "caregivers" and "breadmakers". Is a woman, just for being a women, going to be better at raising a kid than a man ? The goal is to change that idea. Maybe all men around the world should get together and show the world that they can do the same as women. They can take care of their children, of their elderly and of sick people as well as them. That is where we have to move as a society. And I think that is what they want to show us with this video.

@@kunalmandhare3144 I was not pushing it on men in any way, I was proposing an idea. Women all around the world have to fight against stereotypes (not wanting to have kids, fighting for their rights, showing their financial independence, etc). However, even thought there are also men doing the same (talking about their feelings and their weaknesses, helping with house chores) I think that they should be more. There are still lots of men resisting to gender equality, and sadly they are not going to listen to women, only to other men. Feminism and arriving to equality (even thought we may have some physical differences) is a war against the beliefs that we all have had for centuries, and I believe that we should all fight them together💪🏽

@@kunalmandhare3144 Also, and I would really like you to be right, but the percentage of women lying about rapes and sexual assault, even though it exists as you say, of course, is also really small. I think that you are focussing on them instead of in the great picture. If that is a small percentage, imagine the number of real cases. Try asking women around you. Have they ever felt scared walking alone in the street? Do they decide not to do certain activities for fear of being assaulted by a man ? Have they ever felt threatened by a man in a sexual way ? You can ask these questions to other men too and compare the answers. Probably, the only thing that all women have in common is that they are going to answer yes. And that makes me so sad... I would love that you were right about that, but in my personal experience, living in different countries and having friends (women and men) from all around the world, everyday I am more sure that the situation is even worst that what statistics show. And that scares me and makes me feel lucky for not having been raped. Yet. Now tell me that that is not disturbing. Or give me some kind of hope, at least. Please.

That’s because that IS the pay gap. The “pay gap” is just what the average man makes a year vs what the average woman makes a year. Which is a very broad statistic that has been manipulated to fit a feminist agenda. There is no REAL pay gap. A Man and a woman are paid the same, it’s just a statistic that’s been blown out of proportion... for the most part. There most likely are a few cases where a woman is being unfairly paid, but these videos make it out that ALL women are extremely underpaid. Most people have given up explaining this as it seems like common sense but it bothers me people really believe there is a pay gap. Disappointed in Netflix, just shows how manipulative the media is.

[@jasonbeck7579]

If there were truly a pay gap then business owners would fire all the men and just hire women so they could make more profit. You can't just add up what men get paid and what women get paid and say there is a pay gap. That is dishonest and using fault statistics. To get the true statistic you must use the same job from the same state/area. Example would an engineer. To get an accurate statistic you would need to compare women engineers salary to men engineers salary. Also, due to cost of living a person would get paid more for the same job in California than they would in say Montana.

@8:20 women who are not caregivers: negligible pay difference compared to men (no sign of sex based discrimination) @8:30 a pay gap based on choices is not discriminatory. True, Women are more likely to raise kids as a single parent, but the courts are also heavily biased for women asking for full custody. Demanding full custody is a choice. If you want to fight real systemic sexual discrimination, that’s your target. Then move on to lengthier prison sentences for men than women for the same crime. Conclusion: there is no pay gap, there’s a raising kids penalty. I’m sure you’d see the same thing for men who are single parents who end up earning less. Again, no sex based discrimination going on. Most married women I know married men who are older than they are, further along in their career, likely making more money than they were. So when couples are making the choice between who spends more time with the kids, the men’s responsibilities shift to make us more money, women’s shift to spend time with kids. This is a choice each couple makes for themselves, let’s not get the government involved in who has to pick up the kids from practice.

[@milenayashkina8641]

Okay... but this puts career women and men who want to take equal part in caregiving at a disadvantage because statistical discrimination is involved. Employers on average view men as breadwinners, just as the government views women as the primary caregiver. This prolongs the status quo that women are better caregivers than men, when it may not be true on an individual basis. If we change policies to incentivize men to take paternity leave, it will definitely have a significant effect on their decision making. Consequently, as social norms change about who's the breadwinner and who's the caregiver, we most definitely will see policy shifts in custody laws too.

Steven Hardwick I don’t think that men don’t have hard lives or obstacles. I’m a woman and a mans life could be 10 times harder than mine, but I do agree that his gender isn’t one of the things making it hard and for women, it is one of the things that makes their lives harder. Im not proposing bringing down men so that their lives are just as hard, which is what some people think feminism is, im proposing that we bring women up so that their lives aren’t made harder solely because of their gender. I don’t know how to convince you if you don’t believe in male privilege because you aren’t a woman so you’ll never truly understand. Just think of things you may have gotten away with before or been given, and just think if those things would have been the same if you were a woman. Also, you mentioned living in a country where a woman can do that. Not all countries are the same so it may not be as big as a problem or you may not have seen male privilege in your country, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have inherent privilege in other places. Also, something to consider is how women can be 50% of the population and only have a fraction of leadership positions. Some may argue that men make better leaders, but I disagree, I don’t think anything about your gender can make you better or worse in a leadership position, unless of course it’s a company that markets to a certain gender. This is also disproven by the fact that the countries who have best handled this pandemic all have female leaders and the countries who have mishandled it the most, such as Brazil, India, and the United States, all have male leaders.

I think you'll find Jeff bezzos was a woman, is if he was a black woman who started an online store selling books that then moved into other markets I don't think anyone would have stopped her or even if it was a person who was non binary, it's where that person was and what fortune found for them.

[@garzab92]

I took a course in college titled "Gender & Economics" that was very enlightening and touched on many of these points. Some other important factors noted was that men (weather innate or learned) tend to be more aggressive in negotiations. So if a man and woman are offered the same starting salary, the man is more likely to counteroffer and negotiate a higher amount. Even if they both got 3% raises per year, the gap would still increase. If you don't believe that some of these factors are at play, look at the pay difference between unskilled and skilled labor. Where education, skills, knowledge, and behaviors are not criteria for success, the gap will be smaller (if at all) for equal work.

[@mettelindegardnielsen9411]

One extremely important yet, oddly left out of the video, is the Equal Pay Act of 1963 in the US, in 1970 in the UK, and most other Western countries. It has been illegal (and it should be) to pay women less for the same job based on their sex. If a woman or a man believes they are being paid less for doing the same work because of their sex, they can file a complaint with the EEOC in the United States. Oddly, the EEOC sees less than 1000 cases per year on gender pay discrimination and less than 100 per year actually are valid complaints. So, if all women, systemically, are paid less for the same work because they are female, why are there not millions of EEOC complaints filed per year? Anyone? Did I already answer my own question...

Firstly, I dislike this idea that we have all been brainwashed into believing that women are the only caregiver to children. Believe it or not, we see the trend across the world of women staying home with their newborns. Why, you ask? Well, maybe, just maybe its because the hormones they release after having cared for that baby ALREADY for nine months make them more adept to taking care of that child. Oh, and they are also the MAIN food source for that baby (i.e. breastfeeding). Maternity leave has an element of necessity for that reason alone (aside from hormonal functions that assist mothers in knowing how to bond with baby). Second, as an Icelander myself, I find it so funny when huge nations of people (with 100 MILLION + people) look at Iceland as the pinnacle of political and social prosperity. Look at the Icelandic political system! Look at the gender equality in Iceland! Reminder- We are a country of approximately 350,000 people. That is less than the majority of small American CITIES. I know the Prime Minister of Iceland, I have met the Icelandic President on multiple occasions. And- that is simply NOT special in this country. You will see him having drinks at a bar, grocery shopping, etc. without security. Iceland is an anomaly within itself. The political system, thus, is an outlier. We have no military, we all are RELATED to one another, we know the policymakers- if we wanted to enact change we simply have to gather a group of 50+ people and it will be on the news for weeks, we can send a personal letter to the PM or go out to dinner with him/her and talk about it. We are fine with this idea of ultimate socialism because we are all related. Talk about community, talk about unity- we are legitimately ALL cousins with one another. So, looking at this idea of paid maternity AND paternity leave for Americans. It just won't happen. And, if it does, the consequences will be complex. Want to mandate employee benefits for every corporation? Fine, they will simply hire fewer employees. Make MATERNITY leave MANDATED? Fine, they will hire less young women who might end up pregnant. The issue is not as simple as "Well, this would be nice for women so that means it should be done for women." Iceland has a plethora of issues related to their socialistic policies- everything is taxed heavily here to account for our benefits, which is why tourists who come here faint after seeing the grocery prices, our medical care is sub-par (at best), we ship most of our terminal patients to other European nations with better care when it gets THAT bad and it will take the average woman a week (oftentimes months) to get an appointment for something simple (like a UTI), we have an EXCESS of men and women gaining the system unfairly so that they can get maternity/paternity benefits for years on end- and other countrymen, in knowing how the system can be played, love to visit Iceland for a couple of years (where they get a part-time job, have their baby, and utilize the benefits, then leave). Quit over-idealizing European countries, America. You are doing fine. You have your own issues but so do we. And, a large percentage of the "amazing" system that we have created is accounted for simply by the cultural differences in Europe as compared to America- the smaller, less diverse, populations (for instance), as well as the distinctly different historical contexts that we live our lives through.

These are not the only two factors that explain the wage gap, men and women behave differently. Men makeup 96% of workplace fatalities and do more dangerous and labor intensive jobs compared to women, men also make-up majority of the patent earners. Only 4% of patents have women only inventors. How about we compare women only workplaces compared to male only workplaces and consider the work output of both and see if how much of the difference is just due to men outperforming women. Despite all the subsidies into women only programs, all the women groups and all the "positive discrimination" from early childhood, to gynocentric schools and colleges to the job-market we are still unable to manufacture parity between men and women.

To arrive at the figure - they simply take the average earnings of all men and all women and do a direct comparison - without looking at or correcting for all of the factors that can contribute to a difference in earnings - like hours worked, shift patterns, retirement age, job type, danger pay, career breaks, communing time/distance, work/life balance etc. Once you start correcting for all of those things - the "pay gap" tends to diminish pretty quickly.

[@CurtisCT]

I've been intensely interested in the gender pay gap for the past few years now, and decided to do my own research in order to come to my own conclusions. This involved a lot of reading and talking to people more knowledgeable on the issue than I was. My first conversation was with a family friend, she's the HR-director of a major museum. She explained the gender pay gap this way: whenever there's some new position to be filled, she's usually the one that conducts all the interviews. When interviewing for managerial positions, each candidate, male or female, always gets asked if they're okay with business travel, if they're okay putting in overtime, how well they work in high-stress environments, etc. And every single time, all the male candidates answer with an enthusiastic "yes, no problem!", while all the female candidates answer with "no, I'm afraid not". What's she supposed to do? She'd love to hire more female managers, but they always come off as inflexible in their job interviews. She's a divorced single mom herself, so she's well aware WHY women don't want to work overtime or go on business trips, however that's the nature of managerial positions. As a manager you don't get to go home at 5pm and you are sometimes required to take week-long business trips. As a consequence, most managers at her organization are men, despite her best efforts to hire more women. As to the gender gap, she insists that it doesn't exist. First of all it's extremely bad PR for a company to pay women less than men for the same work, and secondly, what's the added value for the company? The company doesn't gain anything by paying a woman a few hundred dollars less for the same job, and the cost is so insignificant that it's not even worth the bad publicity or potential lawsuit. Furthermore, if women were paid less for the same work, companies would simply only hire female employees. Businesses exist to make money, so if there's a group of similarly qualified candidates that come with a cheaper price tag, then businesses will exploit this market in order to save personnel costs. I thought all of this was eye-opening, until I had a chat with one of my best friend's mom. He comes from a VERY religious family and has 10 siblings. His mother was a stay-at-home mom while his father was a lawyer. After trying for almost an hour to get me to join her church, she then shared with me her opinion on the gender pay gap and society at large. According to her, society fell apart because women left their sacred duty in the home when they selfishly decided to pursue careers. My mouth dropped to the floor! I thought that line of thinking died out years ago along with the dinosaurs! She saw the look of shock on my face, but continued. The problem with your liberals, she said, is that you devalue the work of women in the home by classifying it as menial labor - nothing could be further from the truth. The job of the housewife is THE most fundamental and valuable job in the history of mankind. It is we women that bear and nourish the children, we then raise them and instill in them the values and tools they'll need to function as adults. This requires a long list of special skills that housewives have traditionally exercised but seldom given credit for, e.g. leadership and managerial ability, fiscal management, time management, judge/jury/executioner, purchasing manager, etc. In a nutshell, she took her job as housewife VERY seriously and was proud of the fact that all her 11 children were decent, well-adjusted adults with their own successful careers and families. Her husband's job was to work and bring home a paycheck. Her job was to turn that paycheck into a home and family. When women left the home to start a career, children either had to raise themselves or find someone on the streets to act as parent. This resulted in developmentally and socially stunted kids, lacking direction and purpose. These kids then take out their anger on society, which is how we end up with delinquent and criminal young adults. I was speechless, especially since I was a product of a single-mom. I remember how hard she had to struggle, but I still think I turned out okay. Would it have been better growing up with a mother at home and a father at work? Maybe, but it makes no sense crying over spilled milk. Anyway, my friend's mom had no problem with the gender pay gap. And if she had her way, there would be a 100% gender pay gap, with women staying home to take care of the kids while men go to work. Funny enough though, every single poll on this issue shows the same result: when asked if given the choice, would women prefer to be stay at home moms or have a career, women overwhelmingly say they would prefer to be stay at home moms. The most shocking results were from gender-equal Scandinavia, where the vast majority of women said they would prefer to be stay at home moms. I've come to the conclusion that the gender pay gap will NEVER close, because it's based on biology and not society. As long as women continue to bear children, it will be possible for them to reach pay parity with men. What's needed is a new compensation paradigm that recognizes that the role of the woman in the household is just as valuable, or perhaps even more valuable, than the role of a multinational CEO.

[@professorlilith5933]

You mean, "as long as women continue to bear children, and we don't treat it as a job that should be paid, the gender pay gap will never end." Your ultra-conservative friend is absolutely right that most societies treat a tiring, difficult, and very time-consuming job (parenting) as something that should be done (usually by women) for free. If people got paid a salary, a pension, health care, and formal recognition for parenting, maybe young people would again start having children in numbers large enough to replace the population.

For every womens issue in progressive countries in todays world, there is a antagonist mens issue. A women loses her husbad in war - A man died to protect his country/family. A women stays home to raise the children - A man has the pressure to provide for them. Most caregivers are women and are underpayed - Most labourers are men and are underpayed There are way more single moms than single dads - A man has a much harder time to get custody for the child A women has the burden to decide for or against abortion - A man can not decide if his child is gonna be born A women is more likely to be seen as weak - A man can not show weakness The list goes on almost infinite, and most of it is NOT just due to the structure of our society but because of the biological and psychological differences and the symbiose between men and women that created the structure of our society. We are a TEAM and we are supposed to complement each other, if we now try to tackle these differences unilaterally with the goal of equal outcomes, we bring the relationship between men and women and thus the structure of our society out of balance and only create new issues, like for example the demonisation of typical male character traits and sexual desires, a raise in psychological issues in both men and women, gender issues, MORE single parents, MORE divorces and many many more.

They said it’s okay as long as you have a choice but then say the answer is to force men to take paternity leave? You should be allowed to choose and reward those who are more focused on their work life men and women alike.

[@Etward123]

Its not forced. If you listen it its encouraged so men are offered the paternity leave and they take it or they dont. It was frased in a way that it was hard to understand.

pretty sure they could have used a better female icon than Hillary Clinton, someone self-made.

[@rahulkrishnan3352]

Bill Clinton didn't give Hillary her law degree, she earned it. Unlike Bill who was impeached for perjury & had his licence to practice law suspended, Hillary's career has been largely blemish free. Like it or not, between 1993 and 2017, Hillary Clinton was voted most admired woman 22 times ! So YOU might not think she's self-made or an icon, but America DEFINITELY does.

this is more like children make you make less money. Not women make less money.

[@andpeggy9626]

Well, yes... and also no. Because of societal norms perpetuated by decades of patriarchy, women are seen as the “nurturers and caregivers” who must sacrifice their careers to care for their children. Children wouldn’t be an issue if not for these notions. As it stands, unfortunately, women do happen to make less money as a result of this. We need to eradicate these views in order for men and women at large to take on balanced roles as both care providers and breadwinners 👍

[@finlaythomas7338]

@@andpeggy9626 agreed but at least they have a choice. And physiologically woman are more empathetic (generally) then men which is why they make better carers such as nurses, and teachers. Which are all important jobs

[@andpeggy9626]

Finlay Thomas they do have a choice, but societal pressures and the absence of paternity leave skew that choice. I also agree that there are fundamental differences between men and women, (for example, men are generally stronger) but quite honestly I don’t think men having a a tenuously agreed upon lower standard of empathy is excuse to foist the brunt of the childcare on women, and doing so is probably a bit demeaning to men honestly lol, but yeah I agree there is a probably a correlation between women and choosing jobs related to care, but also, that may partly just be the Placebo Effect- a product of society asserting that women belong in those roles... Sorry for writing a novel! Haha

a lot of factors are left uncovered, a company can only pay for the hours of work and can't pay for the lost days, that would result is the company's loss and different types of work require different skills and pays differently not to mention most men do the harder jobs and work more hours

[@GhostNameless]

7:18 The solution to that problem is for both parents to split their parenting tasks equally, but if one parent refuses to do so, then teach your child not to date a-holes in the future.

[@cheepes3d]

I also think something that isn’t talked about enough is men who would prefer to spend more time as a stay-at-home dad. I have met quite a few men who seem to feel that they don’t have the choice to stay home and raise their children when they really want to. The biggest problem here for both men and women is that these set roles in society are denying them choice.

@@Kurio71 exactly. This video does raise valid issues, but it only shows half of the story. The reason women are paid less in STEM jobs is the same reason men struggle to find jobs in early education. Social stigma.

[@DNA912]

we have the same here is Sweden that the farther get a number of weeks with the child that the mother can't take. And I have heard many couples complain about this as they don't like the restriction. My uncle for example, when they got their kids, the mother was unemployed, so to use all the weeks they where given. Both HAD to be home. Also many couples CHOOSE to split it "uneven". another relative I have. the mother had a job just like every other person, but the dad was an entrepreneur. And it is way more damaging being home for the company and income and career to be home when you have your own company. If the genders were the other way around, I am sure the farther would have been home much more then the mother. (because I know them very well). I just think the government should let the parents choose for them self. if you can't agree on who is home and who is working, then you shouldn't have had kids in the first place.
