Revealed: The Gender Pay Gap Feminists Don’t Want to Talk About

Article here. Excerpt:

'To little fanfare from the usual trumpeters of pay inequality, figures released last week highlighted a new, and growing, gender pay gap.

Perhaps we can gain some insight into why the usual suspects lay silent when the latest tranche of data emerged from one of the few headlines it did garner: Earnings inequality among men soars.
...
Twenty years ago only 1 man in 20 aged 25-55 with low hourly wages worked part-time. Today the figure is one in five.

Furthermore, while 95% of top-earning men normally work full-time, 20% of the lowest-paid are now part-timers.

That means wage inequality for men has risen over two decades, while for women the opposite has been true.

Indeed, women in their 20s now earn more than men, a trend that will surely continue, since a girl born in 2017 is 75% more likely to go to university than a boy.

These women with better educations will be more likely to move into full-time work and have less incentive to leave it, further widening the gap.
...
Firstly, this clearly shows more than half of men in part time work are underemployed: they want to work more, but can’t.

For gender pay gap zealots this is deeply problematic on two counts. One, it shows the overriding majority of women who are working part time are are happy about it.

Two, those part time workers, when put into the overall salary pot, drag women’s average pay down, helping to create the mainstream gender pay gap.

So we can see with total clarity that the gender pay gap exists not because of sexism (it’s been illegal to pay women less for the same work since 1970), but women’s lifestyle choices, both in choosing to work part time and choosing full-time jobs with less pay.'
