'Critics say that Pekgoz profoundly misunderstands Title IX. The Department of Education allows schools to use affirmative action to correct for historical sex discrimination. It’s true that men may be underrepresented in, say, nursing — but not because of the same institutional discrimination that barred women from certain disciplines, said Jocelyn Samuels, a former director of the Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services.

And while women may have achieved parity in many educational fields, that classroom success isn’t always replicated in the real world, said Suzanna Danuta Walters, director of the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies program at Northeastern University.

Female managers earn 77 percent of male managers, for instance, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Women make up just 30 percent of university presidents and 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs.

“I will be sympathetic to these arguments when we have something like pay equity,” said Walters, who was named in a Title IX complaint drafted by Pekgoz and submitted by the National Coalition for Men, after publishing an op-ed titled “Why can’t we hate men?”

Education doesn't translate into earning ability. Getting a good education and/or a degree from an uppity uni doesn't prove or show competence in doing things that make money.

Her appeal to earnings differences is a classic red herring. The two may be correlated but there is no causative rel'p betw. getting a degree and making money. You must apply the degree and the degree must be applicable to revenue-generating activities. Then there may be a causative rel'p but it still requires the student apply him or herself to make the money.

It's not a wage gap, too. It's an earnings gap. Truth is that men often subsidize women, even working women. Further, women tend to seek out men who are able to subsidize them as partners so they can choose to work at jobs they like. These jobs often don't command what men make because men's jobs require more of specific kinds of interests or abilities that as a GENERAL rule, women don't possess. Don't blame men for being just plain better at making useful stuff that ppl pay for.

Not our fault we're awesome.

there was a time I was totally against affirmative action and the whole 'free stuff' mentality. I felt alimony was an abomination, and so forth, but now I see the light. w/o handouts the 'victim classes' would literally starve to death, even in the richest of countries. they can't compete w/ males, especially white and Asian males. its no contest. the reason they can't get elected is that every time one of them opens their mouths lies spew forth. this society of manginas bends over backward to make sure they get everything they desire. they saturate EVERYTHING w/ this baloney that women and minorities can do anything the traditional expediters in society have done. every starship now has a woman captain. every scientific type commercial has a woman engineer out in front. even the dr. has a failing show on the bbc. we are to believe women scientist types are the best of the best. like i'm ever going to forget they got handouts and free stuff every step of the ladder that others carefully placed for them to climb. blacks make up approx 12.8% of the population, yet I dare you to find a commercial where they are not right out in front. its gotten funny. sad but funny. the perpetual victims can't actually perform in an arena w/ traditional workers, but we are to sit, watch the lies, forget the constant handouts, and pretend they can. I get it, its like sci-fi w/o the real sci. ok. i'm in. show me some more funny stuff. this is waaay funnier than watching snl or late nite 'comedians' try to make long defeated political agendas funny. come on people, you can do better than this.
