Gender Wage Gap: Socialist Gynonomics

In the US, 60% of college graduates are women; 53% of law, med, and MBA graduates are women; 75% of psychology PhDs are women, and 80% of veterinary graduates are women. Women are CEOs, generals, surgeons, astronauts, actors, senators, university presidents, and high-ranking government officials.
Women control 60% of America’s wealth, make 85% of consumer purchases, file 70%+ of divorces, have custody of children in 90% of cases, and receive 95% of alimony and child support.
We often hear that women earn 77% of what men earn, based on institutional discrimination. This is a lie and a mathematical sham, but people willingly and gullibly believe it. Why? Because female victimhood is effective. Male guilt abounds.
The fact is, outside the traditional office, men and women don’t do the same jobs. How many men are occupied as daycare workers or dental hygienists? How many female welders have you seen perched dangerously atop giant bridges? Mathematics, not emotion, folks.
Furthermore, do all men performing the same job earn equal salaries? Of course not.
People are paid according to what they can negotiate. If men aren’t paid equally, how can men and women be paid equally? Socialists want everybody to get a trophy just for showing up.
Women are accustomed to getting free drinks and meals — just for showing up. They aren’t trained to negotiate. Most women will admit they’re terrible negotiators. Lack of brains? Nope. Lack of skill and practice. Consequently, they expect employers to hand them big salaries — without negotiation. Gynonomics. Entitlement. Nonsense. Life doesn’t work that way.

When women cry foul, rightly or wrongly, men simply cave. Because 85% of legislators are male, women get almost any “right” they want. Accordingly, President Obama declared in July 2010 his support for the socialistic Paycheck Fairness Act.
Juxtapose this nonsense with reality. In July 2010, Forbes posted its annual “Celebrity 100″ tabulation of top earners in show business. Guess what? Women hold six of the top-10 earning spots! Shouldn’t Obama force these women to give some money to the men who don’t hold the top spots — to equalize pay, to spread that wealth around?
WSJ: Young Women Now Outearn Their Male Peers
Some women bemoan “the dearth of female executives,” as in this WSJ piece. If women earn the majority of college degrees, and now outearn their male counterparts, but don’t comprise the majority of executives, they choose not to be executives. Stop whining already!

Regardless, women whine when another state enforces — or pretends to enforce — equality by banning ladies’ nights, denying them a coveted entitlement: CA, CO, CT, FL, HI, IA, MD, MN, MO, NE, NJ, PA, TX, and WI. Pathetically, most men favor ladies’ nights because they can’t get laid without plying women with booze. Below is a clip of my 07.27.10 debate on Fox & Friends about Minnesota’s so-called ban.
US Department of Labor Wage-Gap Study
The US Department of Labor hired CONSAD Research Corporation in Pittsburgh to study this matter. Surprise! No gender-based wage gap!
“An Analysis of the Reasons for the Disparity in Wages
Between Men and Women”

PREPARED FOR:

Task Order 2, Subtask 2B
CONCLUSION
This study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the
compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and
that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action.
Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost
entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers.
