What Causes the Gender Wage Gap? - Center for American Progress

No, no studies prove your right.
Your explanation only accounts for about 60% of the issue. What about the rest?
You're being completely disingenuous if you think the only reason that there's a pay gap is because "women want to work less hours". It shows that it's a very multi-faceted issue. If you want to boil it down to "women don't want to work more hours!" then there isn't much more to say as you're choosing to stick your head in the sand instead of actually reviewing the issue. Not surprised.
The thing that gets me about people who argue against there being a wage gap, or if it is, it's ALWAYS the womans fault, is that you basically ignore even a semblance of there being discrimination going on. If something is a standard, then no, a woman can't sue a company because she's making less money. I mean, unless someone literally says out loud "I'm paying you less because you have a vag", you're not going to know it's about discrimination. I'm all about not attributing to malice what you can to stupidity, but to act like the disparity is ONLY because women take less time is so wrong, it's not even funny.
Now if you want to say that this isn't as big of a problem that it's made out to be.... well then you're admitting that it's a problem just not one YOUR concerned about. Is that the case?
