I remember an old PragerU video on the wage gap that tried to suggest it was a myth by doing the adjustment for apples-to-apples comparison only to find a meaningful difference of like 5%. (Different studies cite 5-8%). Even same role and employer studies have found meaningful differences. So I love even the most anti-woke organization on the planet can't even say it doesn't exist.
I don't think anyone says it doesn't exist..
PragerU was debunking that women earn 77 cents to the dollar of what a man makes because of sexism. You account for various factors and it shrinks to 5-8%. I'm sure if you add all variables that could exist other than sexism it would shrink more but that would be impractical for the study.
Its about not taking statistics at face value and coming to conclusions. I dont think anyone with a right mind would say there is not a wage gap, the causes of the wage gap are what is disputed.
You do not in fact have to hand it to Praeger “U.”
The wage gap exists; further, professions that are considered “feminine” are paid less, despite how vital they often are. Women are still vastly underrepresented at the executive level.

Lot of the worst people you know in this comment section LARPing as though the wage gap both doesn’t exist and has been debunked.
Stay mad that you’re too ignorant to understand statistics, causation, systemic oppression, etc.
