Basically woman have never had it easier
Change my mind
number 7 is wrong
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
And imo that's mostly just a relic of the patriarchal society we had in the past and will sort itself out in the next 10 or so years
As for stuff like maternity leave imo there should be a certain amount of paid parental leave available to a couple and whichever wants to take that leave can whether it's the mother or the father
That'd both stop descrimination against men in paternity leave being shorter than maternity leave
And that along with a shift in societal norms towards both parents taking part in the initial care of a child would stop that from affecting job prospects and pay of women more than it affects men
Obviously there is a difference between what men and women earn on average, because men and women are different. Equal, but they generally have different goals and ambition. If a woman doesn't enter a stem field on her own free will, but a man does, you cannot fairly compare their wages and go "See? Here's evidence of a patriarchal society!" and vice versa. @The Lemon
I'm saying the opposite though
We don't have a patriarchal society anymore
there are 3 genders'
Women under 21 actually earn marginally more than men under 21
male female retard
*dab*
end of debate
?
The thing is there are more male CEOs etc because they're generally middle aged or older and when they got the job society was more patriarchal
Hence why the lack of patriarchy now means that problem will sort itself out as the older generation dies off @Billcat
or its because women just dont like that profession and they dont pursue it
I mean that's disproven by women under 21 earning about the same as men in the same age range
That at least disproves people who say they are less ambitious
```I mean that's disproven by women under 21 earning about the same as men in the same age range```
how dis relevant?
Because it shows they will go for higher paying jobs if they are able to
excuse me wtf
And they able to in our now less patriarchal society
look at that statistic again when they are 30
I was 18 when I finished high school
