You do realise the gap is just the "unexplained by standard corrections" and not "% due to sexism" right?

> Why bother commenting if you don't care about the wage gap?

I care that you are using misleading statistics to push an agenda.

The shitty part is the gap, not the explanation. Are you seriously defending a wage gap because you're skeptical about why it exists? That's why it exists.

At no point did I state I thought the wage gap is entirely due to sexism. although, I do argue it is evident sexism; I believe that still requires argument on your part that it's clearly not.
