NCFM Calls on Candidates to Stop Spewing Gender Pay Gap Myth

Press release here. Excerpt:

'The National Coalition For Men (NCFM) calls on Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and all other candidates to be honest about the gender "pay gap." Claiming that women "earn less" without explaining why is misleading and dishonest. The Department of Labor funded a study that showed the pay gap is mostly due to choices, not discrimination. http://commons.wikimannia.org/images/Gender_Wage_Gap_Final_Report_2009.pdf

Before women get married and have kids, they earn the same as men, and are also beneficiaries of quality of life choices that favor health and longevity as reflected by statistics on industrial deaths. After having kids, women make additional quality of life choices different from males, such as more flexible hours and less managerial positions. Women have more options than men when it comes to being primary parents. In fact, over half of female graduates of Stanford and Harvard left the workforce within 15 years of entry into the workforce. This is not an option for most men. http://edition.cnn.com/2005/BUSINESS/03/15/optout.revolution/
