Women's clothes?

[Redbeard The Pink]

Except wage gaps are still largely murky waters and debateable.

Ok, so can you provide an explanation for the unexplained portion of the difference in earnings between men and women?

No, but there's no need to. That's an earnings gap between similarly educated people, not a wage gap between people doing the same job.


Here's my real issue: "unexplained" means exactly that. When people talk about a "pay gap," they simply throw around figures for the earnings gap and insist that the unexplained part of this gap exists because of pay discrimination against women. The problem with that is that if you don't have enough information to explain why the numbers are like that, inserting any answer is technically an argument from ignorance.


"The study can't explain that 7-12% discrepancy between the earnings of similarly educated men and women, so that discrepancy must exist because women are getting paid less than men to do the same jobs."


We don't accept that reasoning from Theists, so why do some of us accept it when it comes to the "pay gap?"
