I would call you a misinformed feminist. (sawy)

Quote:Women are paid more than men until they reach their 40s, according to an official assessment of the gender pay gap.
It found that the difference between wage levels for male and female employees leans in favour of women rather than men among workers in their 20s and 30s.
Twenty-something women have earned more than men in the same age group for the past decade.
Now, in a further sign that the gender pay gap is retreating, the figures show that for the first time women in their 30s are also paid more than their male contemporaries. Men only become better paid when they reach middle age.
See now this is just in the 2015. Would you expect to have this condition to have improved in favor of women in 2016 or not? I'd expect it to have improved in favor of women more. So what pay gap are you taking about?
Interesting stats. I didn't know any of that. I don't label myself a feminist and I am not very informed on the relevant issues. But what I want to know is if I...me, personally...am being paid less at my job for equal or better work then a male counterpart (you can't say it NEVER happens anywhere), would you, pool, consider me an annoying, unreasonable feminist? The situation is hypothetical. I'm just trying to understand where you are coming from.
