Article here. Glad to see a MSM source is facing down the Wage Gap Myth head-on. Excerpt:

'The correct answer, however, is B. The "77 cents to a man's dollar" argument is based on the average earnings of all women versus the average earnings of all men without regard for what they're doing for a living, how long they've been doing it, or any other factor that influences earnings. It's ridiculous.
...
If you're interested in understanding the gender gap, start with the Wikipedia page called "Male-female income disparity in the United States." It points to lots of studies, but don't expect a cut and dried, definitive answer because many studies conflict with one another.
...
Today you're going to see a lot of headlines and hear a lot of reporters claim women earn 77 cents for every dollar men make. While that might make for a great sound bite, the math is fuzzy and the comparison is silly.'

'Professionals in different disciplines identified and defined Parental Alienation as the pervasive practice of one divorcing parent against the other parent to destroy the relationship of the targeted parent with his or her children. This is usually done with the intent to gain financial benefits in court.

'Student Caleb Warner was found guilty of sexual assault by a campus court at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks in 2010 despite the facts established at the time by city police. Officers not only refused to charge him, but also alleged his accuser made a false report. Police issued a warrant for her arrest.

It took 18 months – during which Warner not only was banned from the UND campus, but also from all college campuses in the state – for the university to agree to reconsider the conviction and clear his record.

The Foundation For Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, said, “Nobody should be surprised that [Warner] does not want to return to UND.”

“The university showed less than zero concern for disrupting his life and career and branding him a criminal based on an extremely low standard of evidence, and has shown zero inclination to be remorseful about what it has done,” the group said.

The Warner case also illustrates the extreme legal danger a student can face in a college court.'

'Gov. Martin O'Malley suggested Towson University form a task force to study how better to deal with meeting Title IX rules on gender equity.

The governor, who proposed giving state money to save the university's baseball program, told a group of reporters Monday that all his questions about the decision to eliminate some men's sports had been answered.

But he suggested that perhaps the public would benefit from a task force.

"I think a lot of us have trouble with the idea that to create more sports opportunities for our daughters, we have have to eliminate opportunities for our sons," O'Malley said.'

'IF you want proof that feminism is about politics, not equality, then take note of the way modern-day feminists have reacted to Margaret Thatcher's passing.

The same women who were sent into fits of righteous hysteria over Americans celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden were gleefully rejoicing in the death of a frail 87-year-old woman who history will acknowledge as Britain's greatest peacetime leader.

'Oh, is it April of 2013 already? I must have missed the banshee call that signals politicians to prepare for the 2016 presidential campaign. And how do we know the time for endless speculative punditry and partisan PR bonanzas — heralded by constant media coverage, all to decide who will be president 40 months from now — is nigh? Democratic dreamboat, former secretary of state, and all-around "I'm-In-It-To-Win-It" (version 2.0) go-getter Hilary Clinton delivered a fiery speech at the fourth Women in the World Summit in Washington D.C., wherein she coupled national security and women's rights.

Now, before the comments section is doused with Betty Friedan quotes, and lit with the match of Susan Patton-gate, I'd like to make clear that I am all for gender equality. I'm a woman, and a minority, and would very much appreciate, in my lifetime, to see countries all over the world change their cultural, social and legal attitudes toward women's rights.

'Today is what feminist groups have dubbed “Equal-Pay Day,” their day to raise awareness of how women are regularly paid less than men for the same work. Women, they claim, have had to work this long into 2013 to make up for last year’s wage gap.

The problem for “Equal-Pay Day” fans is that the premise of this pseudo holiday is bogus.

Women actually aren’t paid 77 percent for doing the same job. Take three minutes to watch this video just released by the Independent Women’s Forum which explains the statistics behind the wage gap and tells women the good news that they aren’t doomed to be victims of the patriarchy: It’s the choices that we make that will primarily determine how much we earn.'

'At Tuesday’s bake sale on Widener’s Harrisburg Campus, there will be cupcakes, muffins, cookies and more. Each treat will be sold at two different prices.

For men, it’s $1. For women, 75 cents.

Call that unfair and you’ll be in for a lesson.

The bake sale is intended to draw attention to National Equal Pay Day – an event that reflects how far into the year women must work to match what men doing the same job earned in the previous year.'

'In honor of Equal Pay Day, which marks the fact that women still make 77 cents on the dollar compared to men who do the same work, CREDO Mobile is offering a new deal– a 23% discount on voice plans to represent the 23 cents less on the dollar women earn compared to men.

“The politicians in Washington have had an opportunity to end the wage disparity, but have taken no action. We felt we should do something about it. If women get paid less than men, why should we charge them the same amount?” says political director Becky Bond.'

'DETROIT (CBS Detroit) “How much do you think he makes?” That question could come out of dirty corners around the office water cooler and get out in the sunshine if Michigan women’s groups have their way.

Specifically, they’re asking for the passage of four bills, including a wage transparency act that would allow people to know the pay of everyone else in their workplace, which they believe would keep the boss honest about whether men are earning more than women doing the same job.'

'While not all men’s sports are profitable on their own, virtually none of women’s programs turn a stand-alone profit. At The Business of College Sports website, Kristi Dosh of ESPN notes that Title IX views college athletics not as a business but as a vehicle toward collegiate success. This view hampers discussions about the equitable treatment of student-athletes whose on-field and on-court success adds value to the school.

Dosh points out that Title IX was cited by the NCAA as a roadblock to monetary stipends for student-athletes. Even though men’s football and basketball programs are much more likely to be profitable, there is no room under Title IX to pay the players of those particular sports. Schools would have to pay female athletes too despite the fact that they’re already a drain on school budgets. Essentially, paying Louisville’s Kevin Ware or the Rutgers kids would require the school to pay the women who play on those schools' teams.

'So it seems natural that IT would be a leader in closing the gap in compensation between the sexes. And the latest salary survey from Dice, a career site for technology and engineering professionals, confirms and reaffirms a truth that has been constant in Dice analyses since 2009: With tech workers, the compensation gender gap has disappeared. Average salaries are equal for male and female tech pros, provided the comparison is between men and women with equal levels of experience and education and parallel job titles.

According to the 2013-2012 Dice salary survey, while men out-earned women overall by an average annual income of $95,929 to $87,527, the difference is driven by the fact that the two groups tend to hold different positions. Among the key findings of the survey was job title. It was reported that female IT workers were more prevalent in project manager positions, with males were more often employed as software engineers.

'President Obama issued a declaration of “National Equal Pay Day” for Thursday, in a gesture aimed at highlighting what he described as a disparity between men and women in the workforce.

In a statement issued Monday, Mr. Obama decried a statistic showing women comprise roughly half of America’s workforce but earn an average 23 percent less than men, The Daily Caller reported.
...
Deeper analysis has found that much of the pay disparity between men and women are due to factors other than bias. The Independent Women’s Forum, for instance, said the tenure and job description were often left out of the calculating process, and those two factors often explain the pay difference, The Daily Caller reported.'

'Even though there's often more social pressure on women to have kids, men may actually feel more depressed and lonely over not having children, according to the results of a small British survey.

The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the British Sociological Association in London Wednesday (April 3) by Robin Hadley, of the United Kingdom's Keele University, who polled 27 men and 81 women who didn't have kids.

About the same proportions of men and women said they wanted kids (59 percent of men and 63 percent of women). Among that group, half of the men said they experienced isolation because they weren't parents, while just over a quarter of women said the same.
