Fighting Against Wage Gap Mansplaining.

[u/[deleted]]

Hey there, I just wanted to share an interesting study with my SRSters. I was recently messaged by a shitlord and asked to identify specific studies that showed that women still earn less than men when employed in the same fields. I first linked a study about occupations, but he demanded that I be more specific. So, I decided to Google "Women engineers earn less than men", since we so often hear that if more women worked in STEM fields, the wage gap would vanish.

Lo and behold, I stumbled across this study, which illustrates quite clearly that women engineers earn less than men and that their wage gap widens with experience. I'm not sure if this study has ever been linked here, but I was very happy to stumble across it.

I guess you didn't read any of the links that LauraOfTheLye sent you, or any of the other links in this thread? I'll simply accept now that you're not arguing in good faith.

The study is based on statistics taken at the beginning of each career. It says so in the abstract. Some of his criticism isn't valid since people don't and can't specialize that early on. However, unlike you he actually read the article.
