Actually i wasn't thinking of this in terms of income equality and a wage gap (which there is). I was thinking more along the lines of sexual thought, theory and philosophy. The discussion for the economic effects would be a separate matter outside the commentary of this cartoon.
Men are more likely to leave a job to pursue a bigger paycheck than women are, because men are more likely to be the primary income earners. It's a cultural thing.
If men and women were paid the same, given their different sets of priorities and behaviors, it would indicate that there was a bias in favor of women at some point.
Sum's it up if you are stupid and think that there is no gender gap; or equally misogynistic you think it is not important.
ReplyDeleteMale-female income disparity is alive and well, and very much a relevant topic.
Maybe a discussion of the causes, and its effects on the wider economy would have been more useful than a stupid cartoon?
