i mean banning abortion is gonna make it unequal, even if they don't think it does

I'll stay away from the abortion topic since we've discussed it a dozen times and it always ends in circles...

yeah

We should at least slow down when it comes to abortion.

But, otherwise, I really don't see any inequality towards women in our society. Young girls are told they can grow up to do anything they want, females make up around 50% of college attendants IIRC, there are STEM scholarships specifically for young girls and programs to promote girls to enter a field of science.

If a girl has access to all of the above, but she still chooses to go to college for Cosmetology, then that's the choice of the person, not the forced belief of society that all girls can do is cook, raise a family, and do makeup.

wait do you think the wage gap exists

No.

No, it's been largely debunked, all three iterations of it

The first iteration being men and women in the same position have a pay difference between gender, the second being women are treated differently in the workplace therefore they are not promoted / given the same chances, and the third being that society from the very beginning raises girls to be docile and less competitive therefore society is at fault.

When you compare men and women in equivalent positions, they largely earn the same, depending on the industry, but it also goes both ways

idk what to believe in terms of the wage gap

different sources say diff things

The fact it, there is no large conspiracy to pay women less. If a company could get away with hiring only women who did their work just as well as the men but pay them less, every major company would be heavily female.

It's simple economics. Companies have to be profitable, so anything to increase those profit margins can and will be done.

The wage gap has been debunked many times

The problem with the wage gap is that it's misleading

It doesn't factor in many different things

https://www.bustle.com/articles/154101-13-ways-women-still-arent-equal-to-men-besides-that-wildly-stubborn-pay-gap ok ignore 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

why ignore

we should read

sure but those aren't the ones im talking abt

Yea I’m reading that and thinking a lot of it is unsubstantiated and opinion based. Also that stats they use are manipulated to reach a conclusion that is false.

Basically woman have never had it easier

Change my mind

number 7 is wrong

GG @Biggser, you just advanced to level 3!

9 is wrong

10 is correct, but there are more men homeless than women

so it should just be ignored

11 is wrong

uh 12 is wrong

and 1 is not an issue

@ashnaa you're reading left-biased articles that should not be taken seriously

Back in Victorian times, when women did have lower pay, only women were hired in many jobs

So why does that not happen now?

Because glass ceiling and patriarchy <:ree:356316447548375070> screeching

Women don't have lower pay for the same jobs that's a myth

But there is a difference in average wages between men and women
