deusx-machina:storming-s:amadrei:marimboo:alacritousheart:This is in my Economics textbookThis is fucked upif you couldn’t SEE how fucked up this is, let me put this into even more perspective for you.a male with no high school education still makes more than a female with 9th-12th grade education (no diploma).a male who is a high school graduate still makes more than a female with an associate’s degree.a male with a bachelor’s degree only makes about ~$2000 less than a female with a fucking doctorate’s degree.tell me again why feminism isn’t important.I am personally offended to the highest degree“The wage gap doesn’t really exist.” Fucking yeah right.I WANNA FUCKING SAY SOMETHING. THIS IS A NATIONAL AVERAGE. KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?! IT TAKES THE JOBS THAT EVERYONE IN THE GROUP DOES. MEN DO MORE CONSTRUCTION. CONSTRUCTION PAYS BANK. WOMEN WHO NEVER EVEN FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL ARE LESS LIKELY TO GO INTO THE CONSTRUCTION FIELD, AND WILL CHOSE A JOB THAT PAYS LESS. WHEN SOMETHING SAYS THAT WOMEN ARE PAID LESS, IT MEANS THAT THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A JOB THAT PAYS LESS PURPOSELY. NOT THAT WOMEN HAVE THE SAME JOB AS MEN AND GET PAID LESSIT HAS NEVER MEANT THATWHAT IT MEANS, IS THAT, WOMEN, TAKE, JOBS THAT PAY, LESS. IN THEIR CHOICE. I UNDERSTAND MAYBE THEY WERE TURNED DOWN FOR THE JOB BECAUSE THEY ARE FEMALE, BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT DONT LET THESE GOD DAMN NUMBERS DEFINE YOU.YOU GO TO COLLEGE FOR FOUR YEARS, YOU MAKE $60K A YEAR YOU FUCKING DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND FOR MOST WOMEN WHEN THESE TEXTBOOKS WERE MADE, THEY WANTED TO BE MAIDS. WAITRESSES. KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS. LUNCH LADIES. NOT CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. NOT DOCTORS. NOT FORMAL CORPORATE TYPE. THIS INFORMATION IS FUCKING OUTDATED AND MIS CONSTRUED BY LITERALLY EVERYONE. -- source link
