It tells us either: there are a handful of professions that are drawing down the average. OR: That a pervasive wage gap exists.

Either is unacceptable, don't you agree?

Why are you so eager to assert the labor of women is obviously worth less?

What an insane and condescending assumption.

I support focusing effort on training women for high paying jobs. I support researching why women don't study STEM degrees as much as men, and working to mitigate that gap.

I do not, however, support paying those that study less valuable "feel-good" degrees more money just because more women choose to go down that path.

And finally, I don't need to actively "support" women making the same as men within the same professions, because that's already the reality we live in.

I don't agree that every profession should make the same amount of money. If that's what you find unacceptable, I find it acceptable.
