That said, still not sure how this wave vs. earnings distinction actually debunks the earnings gap partly due to discrimination again?
In regards to your last paragraph, that's if the woman was aware how much others are getting paid. If I'm not mistaken, some jobs don't like to have their pay information made public to all employees.

Experts think it might be a contributing factor. There is no evidence for it actually being a contributing factor. Keeping the possibility that discrimination might be a contributing factor is open mindedness from the researchers part not evidence for discrimination being an actual contributor,genius

Wage gap = discrimination.
Earnings gap = no discrimination.

You have 0 credibility until you present evidence for what you claim, ie, gender pay gap. Until that happens your words salads will be getting more and more silly and boring. You can't talk your way into credibility lol.
Ok, and what's your level of credibility, pray tell? The arguments I'm presenting are in line with what experts say. Notice, by the way, I never said gender discrimination must be the cause, only that it's probable based on relevant evidence that's been presented in peer-reviewed journal articles. But I guess it makes you look like a "genius" when you misrepresent my position, right? As usual ...
