RE: Uber Pay Gap
Is anyone insisting that they should?

No. I'm asking a question. This is a specific case with good research. The general issue is equality of outcomes opportunity* vs. equality of results.

RE: Uber Pay Gap
I don't think anyone is claiming that all pay gap instances are cases of gender discrimination. Similarly, it would be disingenuous to attempt to point to cases that aren't as evidence that gender-based pay discrimination doesn't exist. 

The answer to your question is 'no'.

I thought Uber drivers gets paid a percent of their fare, so they personally earn less if they generate less fare.


What alpha baboon is really after, is to make sacrosanct the right of private employers to discriminate based on sex without having to demonstrate individual differences in performances. So he seeks to insinuate that because evidence for aggregate differences exist somewhere, women individually everywhere should shut up.

He thinks he is pretty clever in this approach. Hence his generally repulsive smarmy air.  I admit it is actually not a bad level of tactical sophistication for a lobotomized baboon such as him.  But the fact that he is not amongst his fellow baboons seem to escape him.

Well then... I thought it was an interesting thing to talk about.

You always hear about hardcore feminists yelling sexism and such at titles such as this but to discuss how we as genders are different enough to naturally get gaps is a good point.

Yes, the implications you note (absent the derogatory wording) are part of the purpose, but I really do want to see if anyone favors equality of outcomes. It wouldn't surprise me if some people (Tizheruk comes to mind) support that.
