Re: Successful Men vs. Successful Women
That’s actually not true. It’s just one of those BS things that feminists like to spout. Here’s a report undertaken by CONSAD on behalf of the US Department of Labor. Here’s the last paragraph of the foreword:
“Although additional research in this area is clearly needed, 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.”
Translation: women choose better lifestyles. Men leave jobs, move around, and take more dangerous and intensive jobs to earn more money. I’ve even seen reports that show that single women actually get paid more than single men in some careers. You can’t just compare the wage gap in “finance”, obviously the investment banker is going to get paid more than the accountant. Even within banking, a guy working 100 hours with Goldman is going to get paid more than someone working 70-80 hours at a boutique.
