So if there's a gender pay gap, it's partially women's fault for being "bad at negotiating their wages" and such?

Also elaborate what you mean by more valuable assets in many positions

Yes, women are not as good at negotiating their salary.

Men are better at most jobs, women are better at some. Thus more valuable assets

Are either of those things "fair" or a good REASON for there to be a pay gap? I don't think so

Women shouldn't have rights! They shouldn't be working, the only right they have is making me a sandwich!

Negotiating for a fair wage seems dumb, and if two human beings are working just as hard doing the same job, they deserve comparable pay

@Missy

Why are women not as good at negotiating salaries?

@Dr.Cosby

Being shy/insecure, not knowing their value, being averse to conflict (in a work setting), and more succeptible to intimidation and coercion @Missy

<:facepalm:583246304151470090>

None of those are good reasons to be paid less, of course

@Missy get in VC

Unless you're going to work as a negotiator of some sort I guess

But like what are these specific positions

Which men are more valuable assets

Pretty much any job requiring large amounts of physical labor, for one

I mean, I can carry more potatoes than you, you know?

But those aren't typically high paying jobs anyway?

Indeed

But also why are you stereotyping women?

Because stereotypes exist for a reason?

There are exceptions for everything

Then one you just said was untrue largely

Men being stronger and being able to carry more potatoes is untrue largely?

Okay, but that one is patently true

No

I meet women every day that are outgoing while also meeting those who are shy

Same thing with women

And not every woman has insecurities about their value at least regarding work

Also how are they more susceptible to intimidation?

Outgoing doesn't necessarily translate to negotiation of salary

Dude

That's just wrong

And how are they more susceptible to intimidation? Are you really asking this?

There's nothing to suggest women are worse at negotiating salaries

You can negotiate without receiving

Yes I'm really asking that

How are they more susceptible to intimidation assuming this is a functioning work environment?
