What would the house organ of the financial establishment say? Well, Carrie Lukas: There Is No Male-Female Wage Gap:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Tuesday is Equal Pay Day\u2014so dubbed by the National Committee for Pay Equity, which represents feminist groups including the National Organization for Women, Feminist Majority, the National Council of Women’s Organizations and others. The day falls on April 12 because, according to feminist logic, women have to work that far into a calendar year before they earn what men already earned the year before.<\/p>\n

In years past, feminist leaders marked the occasion by rallying outside the U.S. Capitol to decry the pernicious wage gap and call for government action to address systematic discrimination against women. This year will be relatively quiet. Perhaps feminists feel awkward protesting a liberal-dominated government\u2014or perhaps they know that the recent economic downturn has exposed as ridiculous their claims that our economy is ruled by a sexist patriarchy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And then this:<\/p>\n

\n

Recent studies have shown that the wage gap shrinks\u2014or even reverses\u2014when relevant factors are taken into account and comparisons are made between men and women in similar circumstances. In a 2010 study of single, childless urban workers between the ages of 22 and 30, the research firm Reach Advisors found that women earned an average of 8% more than their male counterparts. Given that women are outpacing men in educational attainment, and that our economy is increasingly geared toward knowledge-based jobs, it makes sense that women’s earnings are going up compared to men’s.<\/p>\n

Should we celebrate the closing of the wage gap? Certainly it’s good news that women are increasingly productive workers, but women whose husbands and sons are out of work or under-employed are likely to have a different perspective. After all, many American women wish they could work less, and that they weren’t the primary earners for their families.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I give up! I need to find a way to re-wire myself (thanks Psychology Today for pointing out the real problem here<\/a>) so that I actually read stuff like this and have no emotional reaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
