Me : Sees the title
My brain : The comments section must be pure gold.
Yes, didnt even watch the video yet 😅
thats why i am here
@@cesaralves2303 you should, if you believe they just went and said “women are being discriminated for being women” you will be surprised.
Exactly.
We never came for the video in the first place
People should be placed in a certain position because of skill and not by any other metric. That's real equality.
exactly, kind of the whole point of the video. we all know women are not less skilled but they are less paid
@@DIVIDIII taking more time off = less skilled? No! I was replying to a previous comment on that matter, you brought up other things to validate your pre-determined opinion. Now, with regards to what you said: "women never come for a raise", you have to ask yourself why. And if you don't want to, there is a video here that will do the job for you. But it is not a matter of being less skilled
@@DIVIDIII ok, you clearly know best. No stat or world wide study can possibly compare/contrast your personal experience. it's all a big lie and you are the enlightened one. good luck and good day
@@DIVIDIII You can't argue with idiots. So don't even try.
@Lib Randu guys I start questioning your ability to follow a YT video. I nor the video said that currently in America there is someone that actively decides to pay women less cause that is ILLEGAL. the problem is the overall structure and expectations that make women more likely to sacrifice their career regardless of thier skills. And there are lots of studies and papers that prove this,what you say will not change facts
Women have you ever worked at a job where a man works the same hours as you, in the same position, with the same seniority, brings in the same amount of money to the company but the boss decides to pay him 22% more than you? If so, why wouldn’t he fire that guy, hire a woman, pay her 22% less and get the exact same results?
Facts
I'm gonna humour you, and let's say if they did do that, it would lead to more women in the workforce or in that particular demographic, which (assuming the employer is sexist) is a big no for them. On top of that, more women in specific jobs means that there will be a higher chance of positions of power being taken up by women due to more women in that job. Since the gender pay gap applies to most jobs, we can assume that if your logic was applied to most jobs, society would become a matriarch. This is contradictory since the patriarch is all about keeping men in power and women not in power, therefore your point is invalid.
@@leonwu2775u are absolutely delusional. Most employers only care about money. The idea that most employers dont want women in powerful positions is dated.
@@leonwu2775But money talks and $h1t walks. People care about money infinity more than which sex their employees are. Assuming someone is sexist is just as presumptuous as assuming that women want money as the first priority important thing in their life/career, instead of flexible hours more vacation, less stressful work environment.
I work in a higher position (but not manager) than my male colleague, started before him, and had had more experience in general before we started in the company. I do more complex work than him and have more responsibility, but we work the same hours. I learned at a company party that he earns more than me (there isn't much openness about salary so just learned recently). It's not as much as 22 % more than me, but given everything, I do feel like I am not valued the same. My contributions are higher to the company, looked at it objectively, so I should be making more in that sense.
I partly take responsibility for the gap, as I find it hard to negotiate. Though I have tried every single year to negotiate my salary. It's hard when you don't know the standard wage you "should" be paid, you might end up underselling yourself. Men, I experience, are a lot better at valuing themselves higher, and yes sometimes higher than what they actually contribute. But it works out for them, so why shouldn't they! So I think we have a job to do, to get women to value their work higher, so they also can get higher salaries and raises. Especially in fields where you can't compare your role to a "standard" salary.. higher that "inherent" value for one owns work as a woman, we gotta work on it!!
Why does nobody ever talk about the gender spending gap. That data would make your eyes water
Literally doesn't even mention how they find the pay gap. The find it by taking all women and all men in the work force across all job fields. Not every job is worth the same pay rate.
A 19yo fast food employee should be payed the same as a 45yo surgeon, change your mind.
@@joshdunham7167 I hope you are joking...
But they did mention the idea is equal pay for equal work, implicit in that is that occupation was taken into account.
@@saturated3821 occupations can't be taken in account to show pay gap, it's illegal to pay different wages for the same job based on skin color or gender, if anyone did find credit source for different wages they can sue the company for 100s of millions of dollars and get a private settlement for 50mil.
@Nick Smith ... and why do you think men are more likely to do those things :'D
They don’t mention the fact that the woman gets the kids almost all of the time in a divorce, resulting in far more single mothers even if the mother is unfit to do the job.
They do not mention it, but it is implied. It is another way we can see the difference between "caregivers" and "breadmakers". Is a woman, just for being a women, going to be better at raising a kid than a man ? The goal is to change that idea. Maybe all men around the world should get together and show the world that they can do the same as women. They can take care of their children, of their elderly and of sick people as well as them. That is where we have to move as a society. And I think that is what they want to show us with this video.
@@thegorgeousonefrmLPG collective paternity/maternity paid leave would be a very good start, although it's also true that evolution has had our brains wired differently in regards to upbringing roles, which is a certain kind of "bias" if you will that is challenged here.
C L
true, me and my siblings were left with my mother even thought she had mental health issues and also didn’t have a job.
But she did a good job anyway, taking care of 5 kids with only $1000 in child support isn’t an easy job, yet she managed.
@@kunalmandhare3144 I was not pushing it on men in any way, I was proposing an idea. Women all around the world have to fight against stereotypes (not wanting to have kids, fighting for their rights, showing their financial independence, etc). However, even thought there are also men doing the same (talking about their feelings and their weaknesses, helping with house chores) I think that they should be more. There are still lots of men resisting to gender equality, and sadly they are not going to listen to women, only to other men. Feminism and arriving to equality (even thought we may have some physical differences) is a war against the beliefs that we all have had for centuries, and I believe that we should all fight them together💪🏽
@@kunalmandhare3144 Also, and I would really like you to be right, but the percentage of women lying about rapes and sexual assault, even though it exists as you say, of course, is also really small. I think that you are focussing on them instead of in the great picture. If that is a small percentage, imagine the number of real cases. Try asking women around you. Have they ever felt scared walking alone in the street? Do they decide not to do certain activities for fear of being assaulted by a man ? Have they ever felt threatened by a man in a sexual way ? You can ask these questions to other men too and compare the answers. Probably, the only thing that all women have in common is that they are going to answer yes. And that makes me so sad...
I would love that you were right about that, but in my personal experience, living in different countries and having friends (women and men) from all around the world, everyday I am more sure that the situation is even worst that what statistics show. And that scares me and makes me feel lucky for not having been raped. Yet. Now tell me that that is not disturbing. Or give me some kind of hope, at least. Please.
Women are already paid the same as men!
There is no wage gap. It's an earnings gap.

This is why there’s a trend of couples refusing to have children early.
yes
Or they just don't want to have children.
better for earth
@@oyedeepak Actually I agree. I think human perpetuation is over rated. But due to religion, a large population will strongly believe in the importance of child bearing and thus stress the "woman's place" concept.
Yeah...these are responsible people who want the best for themselves and their kids.
Better to be satisfied and raise your kids when you are stable and street wise enough. Just churning out babies is...well. Let's just say 8 billion is a lot...for no apparent reason.
They should've talked more about other factors rather then just basing themselves off maternity and paternity leave
Well, they mentioned how with motherhood excluded, women made 96% of what men made. I don't know if there's much of a point in talking extensively about the numerous factors that would account for that tiny 4 percent.
@@cesarperezargota They have tried to figure it out, but it results in certain inclinations such as m
That’s because that IS the pay gap. The “pay gap” is just what the average man makes a year vs what the average woman makes a year. Which is a very broad statistic that has been manipulated to fit a feminist agenda. There is no REAL pay gap. A Man and a woman are paid the same, it’s just a statistic that’s been blown out of proportion... for the most part. There most likely are a few cases where a woman is being unfairly paid, but these videos make it out that ALL women are extremely underpaid. Most people have given up explaining this as it seems like common sense but it bothers me people really believe there is a pay gap. Disappointed in Netflix, just shows how manipulative the media is.
@@greatestever8350 But to give them credit, I'm surprised that they actually attributed it to maternity leave, when the Left in general has always and is still constantly claiming it's due to sexism and misogyny.
Cesar Perez you right, I’ll give them that. Still, they tried to talk about third world countries, 1950s and Hillary Clinton talking about decorating an office space...
Awesome and very insightful updates Well i will also say this here... Even as the world still experience slow recovery in terms of economic meltdown due to the recent Covid-19 outbreak, it is best advised to find another alternative to make good income.

You never mentioned that men take more risks asking for more money earlier than women. Also just the fact that men want jobs that pay more than the jobs women want.
@@Dimitris_Balf these directly influence the amount of money people make at any given time. If people are asking for more and ask more often they are more likely to get it than thoes who don't. That's why it's relevant. Also if more men to go for jobs that pay more this can also influence the pay gap as men will disproportionately get paid more. For instance 97.76% of nursery nurses and assistants are female ($29250) while 99.19% of vehicle technicians, mechanics, and electricians ($63000) are male.
So the solution is paternity leave, cool sign me up!
I think they already regret maternity leave. I've seen women getting harassed by the employers for getting pregnant, which is also the excuse to pay less with blue collar jobs "oh yeah, but you will get pregnant" like if all women were bitches.
Your body wasn't sacrificed. But I do think both should happen. 3 months maternity leave then 3 months paternity.
I agree to equal maternity and paternity leaves. That way, both parents can put in approximately the same amount of effort taking care of the child.
my ap gov teacher went on paternity leave! I think its common in nyc (where im from). His wife worked closely for Pelosi and i really admired how much respect he had for his wife and her career. He talked about it in class and helped us understand and normalize it
Paternity leave vs ethnic cleansing.... hmmm tough choice.
What is not spoken about In this debate are women who choose not to have children yet may be overlooked for opportunities by employers who assume she one day will. The "motherhood penalty" can play out in advance for childfree women of childbearing age. Also where is the data on earnings for childfree women vs earnings of men?
The data for childless women vs men in earnings starts at 8:20.
@@IsaacPrinTheNerd most women of child bearing age are still asked in interviews about their plans on having children and thus further allowing for discrimination
Melvin Mathew how is that discrimination. This future boss wants know if he has a 20 year partimer or a a full timer whose going to stay forever
@@dutchGZ This is discrimination if the question is put to one gender only and not the other. A man may choose to be the primary carer of his children and work part time while the female may continue to work outside the home. The assumption that women will become the primary caregiver IF she has children and therefore will work part time is where the gender discrimination comes in. The same assumption is not put on men regarding childrearing.
MaraaMay West lets flip this around. In the army men get yelled at while doing drills. While woman get cheered on their are so many videos about. When people tall about pay gap they only talk about high end paying jobs. What about physical jobs where the woman who does less work then the man gets paid less. Seen it with my own eyes.
Also yes they do get asked that the man aswel. Witht he most asked quistion where do you see youreself in 10 years. Woman answer husband kids. Man wife kids have to provide so wanna statt my career now

There is great irony in the fact that Rwanda was used as a good example of women’s equality. They also say ‘Rwanda has one of the worst economies in the world’ directly after. A huge number of their men were genocided, so now women are a vast majority. As if that sort of society is one to admire, and as if women being paid better is worth the cost of hundreds of thousands of men. The fact that they focus on current women’s pay, and gloss over the fact that men were killed in huge numbers makes the reporters seem naïve and out of touch with reality.
They didn't gloss over that fact at all??
@@Polisciandfries They don’t completely gloss over it, but they way they talk about it disgusts me. They no joke talk about how a huge % of the male population died, and then 10 seconds later, they bring in the pictures of happy women, start inspirational music, and talk about how they make quotas for more women, now that the majority of government was women, when there were not enough men to voice their opinion on the matter to overrule or evenly vote on such a bill. Every picture of a happy woman in what was previously a man’s position should be tragedy to the viewer, it means yet another man dying for a conflict they weren’t responsible for. It mean Father’s and brothers who didn’t come back. Of course this truly, what I find to be truly disgusting video/series puts inspiration music behind it, and champion it for all the good things the female majority did without the men’s input or ability to say otherwise, because they were fking dead.
why do people think that having your child raised in a daycare so parents can go to work is a good thing?
Yeah this is feminism...
Exactly.
That's why kids eventually grow into heartless humans like serial killers and the rest, absence of mother's love.

@@ajjurahen2028 let me answer with a question. How well can someone with one leg run?
"... there are 3x as many single moms as single dads... "
Actually that too is a choice, most fathers dont get custody after a divorce even though many would like to. There are also many ways to avoid such a situation in the first place.
That is not the woman’s fault. It’s a social norm for women to be more nurturing and better parents than their male counterparts. It shouldn’t be but that’s because of stereotypes forced into men and women. That is not the fault of the woman. That is the courts fault. It also shouldn’t be a cultural norm but it is. I’m a woman who was raised by a single dad after my mom died and I was raised great so I don’t believe that but that’s toxic masculinity. I do think we still need equal pay for single moms. When men complain about not being able to come forward about sa, it’s not the women who tell them they should have enjoyed it, it’s the men. It is men who are oppressing other men through toxic masculinity, but it is not women who oppress other women, it’s men who oppress them as well. Equality is better for all people, not just women.
@@amaltaher2717 I agree, it's also not the man's fault, I come from a country where the woman can offer some of the parental leave. Me and my wife discussed it and it came down to her having a year the first time and 9 months the second time. I would argue we have different parental skills but this COVID issue has helped me learn things I couldn't with only 2 weeks leave and I'd still have loved the opportunity to look after my babies more rather than go to work.
It's a massive society issue I don't agree white men have inherent privilege, I think we all have obstacles and expectations placed upon us I do believe we should strive for equality.
Steven Hardwick I don’t think that men don’t have hard lives or obstacles. I’m a woman and a mans life could be 10 times harder than mine, but I do agree that his gender isn’t one of the things making it hard and for women, it is one of the things that makes their lives harder. Im not proposing bringing down men so that their lives are just as hard, which is what some people think feminism is, im proposing that we bring women up so that their lives aren’t made harder solely because of their gender. I don’t know how to convince you if you don’t believe in male privilege because you aren’t a woman so you’ll never truly understand. Just think of things you may have gotten away with before or been given, and just think if those things would have been the same if you were a woman. Also, you mentioned living in a country where a woman can do that. Not all countries are the same so it may not be as big as a problem or you may not have seen male privilege in your country, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have inherent privilege in other places. Also, something to consider is how women can be 50% of the population and only have a fraction of leadership positions. Some may argue that men make better leaders, but I disagree, I don’t think anything about your gender can make you better or worse in a leadership position, unless of course it’s a company that markets to a certain gender. This is also disproven by the fact that the countries who have best handled this pandemic all have female leaders and the countries who have mishandled it the most, such as Brazil, India, and the United States, all have male leaders. Hope that helps!
@@amaltaher2717 I agree fundamentally, I'm not a woman I don't know but I also think that's a bit of a blanket statement, your not your dad your not me, everyone from their perspective have these issues of someone else is getting better than I do and I think we all find we get preferential treatment in some cases. I mean think as a woman how escaping things or swaying something your direction down to your period or the ensuing mood swings and if you haven't, good on you, I know women do. I can't say as a collective or its a majority I just go back to I'm not a woman, I don't have those apparatus I don't know. But I have seen it used as a tool the same as being a man is beneficial in some cases but I shouldn't feel sorry or wrongfully privileged I'm as unfortunately fortunate as everyone else.
I think I struggle in today's society and I think there are a few white men who also struggle. I think it's historical that men have succeeded and it's just continued but with a black American president and women as entrepreneurs and earning well from that I think it's more, as a guy said on the privilege change my mind, people need to look at respecting them selves and pushing on and bettering themselves. I think you'll find Jeff bezzos was a woman, is if he was a black woman who started an online store selling books that then moved into other markets I don't think anyone would have stopped her or even if it was a person who was non binary, it's where that person was and what fortune found for them. It just so happens Jeff bezzos is a white male so it inforced this idea that it's white men pushing everyone under but it's just not true I think historically white men have white male babies they give their fortunes to who go on to succeed and in some cases they don't. That's not sociological that's biological.
I'm not saying men make better leaders, I'm not saying anyone needs supressing, I'm saying stop looking for blame and "get good" / try harder make better decisions and at the end of the day it's all down to luck and timing.
@@amaltaher2717 isn't that equity Instead of equality though
One way to make sure you're getting paid well is to discuss your income with your colleagues. That way, there will be clarity among co-workers & your employer can't take benefit of you.
While think this is a great idea in theory, for some people this is illegal. It is a condition of my contract that I can't discuss my pay with my colleagues and I could be fired if I do. Not sure where you are from but in my experience in Australia, people don't want to talk about salary, they think it's bad taste to do so. So I legally can't talk to my colleagues about our salaries, and my friends don't want to talk about theirs. I never know where I stand. It's very frustrating!
@@NesBambi not speaking to your colleagues is also a benefit to those who are better negotiators for salary.
Who wants to spill the beans that they successfully negotiated a wage increase when it will negatively impact that same person in the next negotiation.
After all the boss will hardly be thrilled and there goes your good will. The boss may be willing to raise one person's salary if he plays hardball to shut him up. Less likely to raise that person's salary if it means raising everyone's.
@@NesBambi In the US it's a legally-protected right to be able to discuss salary in the workplace. It's explicitly meant to deter pay discrimination. Unfortunately, businesses have cultivated that social stigma against sharing one's salary because it could make someone feel bad for being paid less when, in reality, the lower-paid person would just ask for a raise (assuming they do equal work)
One of the best protections for securing a higher salary is having multiple people wanting your employment. Options ... in other words.
You are not in a good negotiating position if you can not say no.

@8:20 women who are not caregivers: negligible pay difference compared to men (no sign of sex based discrimination)
@8:30 a pay gap based on choices is not discriminatory.
True, Women are more likely to raise kids as a single parent, but the courts are also heavily biased for women asking for full custody. Demanding full custody is a choice. If you want to fight real systemic sexual discrimination, that’s your target. Then move on to lengthier prison sentences for men than women for the same crime.
Conclusion: there is no pay gap, there’s a raising kids penalty. I’m sure you’d see the same thing for men who are single parents who end up earning less. Again, no sex based discrimination going on.
Most married women I know married men who are older than they are, further along in their career, likely making more money than they were. So when couples are making the choice between who spends more time with the kids, the men’s responsibilities shift to make us more money, women’s shift to spend time with kids. This is a choice each couple makes for themselves, let’s not get the government involved in who has to pick up the kids from practice.
Okay... but this puts career women and men who want to take equal part in caregiving at a disadvantage because statistical discrimination is involved. Employers on average view men as breadwinners, just as the government views women as the primary caregiver. This prolongs the status quo that women are better caregivers than men, when it may not be true on an individual basis. If we change policies to incentivize men to take paternity leave, it will definitely have a significant effect on their decision making. Consequently, as social norms change about who's the breadwinner and who's the caregiver, we most definitely will see policy shifts in custody laws too.

I took a course in college titled "Gender & Economics" that was very enlightening and touched on many of these points. Some other important factors noted was that men (weather innate or learned) tend to be more aggressive in negotiations. So if a man and woman are offered the same starting salary, the man is more likely to counteroffer and negotiate a higher amount. Even if they both got 3% raises per year, the gap would still increase. If you don't believe that some of these factors are at play, look at the pay difference between unskilled and skilled labor. Where education, skills, knowledge, and behaviors are not criteria for success, the gap will be smaller (if at all) for equal work.
Agree with this but you should also consider that the man being aggressive like this tends to be more acceptated than if a woman did it so that could be an factor as well, which is the reason that female professor can have a hard time getting money for something they want to make a study on
I am 75% sure that the course is a goddamn scam. The gender pay gap doesn't exist AT ALL. It's just a feminism hoax to blame men for women's own issues.

True 🤣
If there were truly a pay gap then business owners would fire all the men and just hire women so they could make more profit. You can't just add up what men get paid and what women get paid and say there is a pay gap. That is dishonest and using fault statistics. To get the true statistic you must use the same job from the same state/area. Example would an engineer. To get an accurate statistic you would need to compare women engineers salary to men engineers salary. Also, due to cost of living a person would get paid more for the same job in California than they would in say Montana.

That woman working more with children reminded me of a lady I once met. She did more engineering work than all of her male co-workers in less time, so she went to her boss and demanded to be paid the same as those men for less hours. She got it.
@Reluctant Human :/
Logically, then, she's still getting getting paid less for the same work. Sure she's getting paid the same, but as you said, she did more work than all her male employees. She should be paid MORE than them based on a percentage of increased work output.
On the contrary this is what I see happening.

The biggest problem is that these studies never take into account the amount of hours worked or the professions. They compare female teachers to men who work in oil fields. Of course someone who works 50hrs a week I’m a oil field will make more than a teacher who works 9months of the year at 40hrs.
I don't think businesses should be directly responsible for paying their staff's parental leave. The businesses should be taxed, and the taxes should pay for parental leave. Making them directly responsible puts the financial burden on smaller businesses, on businesses which create more jobs, on businesses which employ more women, and on businesses which welcome prospective parents. All of which would be counterproductive.
Sorry for my ignorance but does your employment insurance not pay for parental leave? In Canada our EI which means a small part of our cheque goes to employment insurance covers you if you lose your job or maternity leave, sickness leave etc.
Agree, parental leave is something beneficial for whole society. Everyone should be okay paying taxes for that the same way we are okay to pay for infrastructure, removing specificality from individual employees and employers
Thats one i was asking my self. Like in Iceland who pays for the parental leave , govermemt or bussiness. But again ICELAND has high taxes so they can do it

A penalty for taking a few years off work out of choice - how unfair!!

I think if women were really paid less for the same job, then companies would not hire men.
If I interview 3 people and one person is willing to do the same work for less money, then I would hire that person.
Bro have you not seen the video?? Women are expected to be caregivers and dedicate less time to their jobs so ofc people will pick men over women, because they expect them to be more focused on their job compared to women. And wdym "if women were really paid less..." they are, that's not even debatable, once again I ask you, have you even payed attention to the video??
Exactly so if I hire a man he will work more and will be paid proportionally more. There’s no pay gap. Women are paid less because of their career choices.
@@PawelRaszewski have you not payed attention to the video at all? 🤦🏻♀️ the points is that happens due to sexist beliefs that women always should be the ones taking care of the kids. So maybe the ones who are hiring aren't to blame because that's how it is, but we definitely have to change the mentality that taking care of the kids is mainly a woman's job and that's what should be expected from her
@@andreabaeza923 they did this experiment in Scandinavia. When women have free choice they tend to pick less paid jobs or take care of kids. 🤷♂️ Don’t blame others for your decisions.

Work choices and hours explain almost all of the gender pay gap. There are many studies on this. Look at Scandinavian countries for work choices.

Do you think the choices and hours have anything to do with gender roles?

And should we pressure women into lower-paying jobs and men into higher-paying ones? And should caring for children be unpaid?

The Equal Pay Act of 1963. Its literally been law for 50+ years.
Ah yes, so children affect the pay gap. It really is about being a mom vs being a woman. I think we women generally do not assert ourselves as much as men. But it mostly comes down to the delays due to being a mom. More often than not, the pressure is on the woman to follow gender norms. There are some pretty interesting points in this.
I disagree that more often then not ,the pressure is on the woman to follow gender norm,because it is actually pushed in both genders ,men also have to work and make sure that they can make enough money otherwise a lot of women will not think of you ,the pressure is in both gender .
The more freedom men and women have, the more likely both are to make life and career choices that fall within their respective traditional gender norms. It's called the gender equality paradox. There's no country where it's easier for women to combine motherhood with a fulltime job. Yet Swedish women still choose to work part time in massive numbers.
@@Omar-kl3xp A lot of women are contributing to funds and can secure their own bag. Ambitious women just want a man who had goals and can carry his weight and then some because in today’s age, you have to do more than just have income.
@@MGsubbie I’d be curious to understand the reasoning behind why that would be in Sweden. I’ll look into it. I think there are a lot of factors at play.
@@sassysledgehammer The most obvious explanation that gendered behavior isn't just taught, it's also in part innate. Not for every individual, but for the average man vs the average woman. And that part of this is that women are more likely to prioritize family life over career.
If the gender deconstructionist view is correct, there would be a linear correlation between gender egalitarian attitudes in society, and equally of outcome. But the correlation is a bell curve. My take is that strict gender norms makes women more likely to want to break free from those norms, and a lack of pressure makes women feel like it really is their own choice. At least, after a certain needed minimum of gender equality. (Because as I said, it's a bell curve.)
The title should be : "Why women earn less".
@Riley Frost There are very few CEOs in the world unless you call the owner of a tiny self-owned limited company a CEO, then I am one too. The fact is, Men are EXPECTED to be the bread winners, they are EXPECTED to risk their lives more, and they are EXPECTED to be dispensable. The person who goes up to the arctic for mining oil or minerals in freezing temperatures easily earns 6 figures and is always a man. The people who go to the treacherous arctic seas to fish for lobsters and king crabs are almost always going to be men. Men are much more likely to fly away from home on pursuit of business ventures and meetings. Men are much MUCH more likely to be killed on the job. Men work more hours. Men work more years.

There may be 100 discrimination that are happening to women but I really doubt this gender pay gap.
I have hired dozen men and women and have never cared about paying different to men and women.
Do you know why? Because your salary is decided by the market and not by me. Most of the companies will have a fixed limit on how much they will pay to empolyee and many times it is already given to interview that we will pay you X amount. No one cares a men or a women. I don't think you have ever worked in a corporate environment. If I will hire someone I want them to do the work , it doesn't matter who they are and what they are, if you can do the task under me you are hired and will be paid by market standard and not based on your gender.
Just go and find if two people with same jobs and same level of competency are paid very different or not.
It would be hilarious as a recruiter to pay more if you can hire someone for lesser.
And regarding having baby and stop working then it is personal matter of women and her husband. It's upto them how they will manage, companies doesn't care about random factors. They only care for task completion so that they can earn profit. Period.

One extremely important yet, oddly left out of the video, is the Equal Pay Act of 1963 in the US, in 1970 in the UK, and most other Western countries. It has been illegal (and it should be) to pay women less for the same job based on their sex.
If a woman or a man believes they are being paid less for doing the same work because of their sex, they can file a complaint with the EEOC in the United States. Oddly, the EEOC sees less than 1000 cases per year on gender pay discrimination and less than 100 per year actually are valid complaints.
So, if all women, systemically, are paid less for the same work because they are female, why are there not millions of EEOC complaints filed per year? Anyone? Did I already answer my own question...
Because it's more complicated than that.

@@agathachris9722 That is correct.
If you don't like the pay, don't take the job.
My partner and I once had a discussion about bearing kids. He wanted one and I said "hypothetically speaking if we have kids, you'd have to put in 50% of the work. 50% of the sleepless nights, the days off work, the diaper changes, the work sacrifices, the attendance to PTAs and soccer practices and recitals. He was speechless. He did not pursue the subject any further. A lot of men want to have kids for the fun times but leave the mundane ones to the mother. That's why there is a persistent association between dads and fun while moms are associated with chores.
As a woman, I never felt the urge to bear children but society treats women like me contemptuously. Pope Francis even called women who decide not to have kids "selfish".
Pope Francis will not bear physiological, financial, societal, emotional and medical changes for pregnancy. The world has billions of people already, choosing to be child free is more of a service than a disservice but society deems it its responsibility to mock and judge women who exercise their right and freedom.
A women's job biologically is to take care of the offspring now I'm not saying it is the right thing to do but if a women chooses to have a baby then it can't be 50 50 at least when they're infants the baby requires his mother's milk they respond to their mother's voice etc etc

Disappointed that the video didn’t mention differential career choices by men and women. In my country, even though college applications are completely gender-blind, men represent about 70% of all engineering degrees (which are known to pay more), while women represent about 95% of education and psychology degrees (which are known to pay less).
That’s not the point though. The point is comparing the income of women and men in the same or similar careers, and why there might be differences, and making an average of those incomes disparities for different positions. Of course if you’re a secretary or an engineer you’re going to be paid differently, but that has nothing to do with gender, a man working a McDonald’s is going to make less than a male doctor.
@@xx___x "That’s not the point though. The point is comparing the income of women and men".............the "gender pay gap" is NOT comparing the gap of genders doing the same job.

Shared parental leave wasn't available with my first and I got 2 weeks off. It was with my second and so I took 3 months off to look after with our 2. I loved it, the bond that was created with my second was so much stronger by having those 3 months.
People make out like men don't want parental leave/paternity leave. This isn't 1940 anymore, we like being Dads, give both parents 6 months leave!
I'm quite impressed by the nuance and attention to data this documentary includes. This really is a family issue, not only a "woman pay gap" issue. As a man, I hope that I could someday have the opportunity to take care of my child -and I think many men share a similar sentiment that they don't want to be seen as just "a wallet" and want to have our partners earn the most possible and have the most opportunity when they chose to work.
Yeah, it would be great if you could breastfeed. But you can't. What people don't get is that a bond between a mother and a child firms in the whoom phase and is then extended with breastfeeding. the bond goes both ways, therefore many mothers prefer to stay with the kid, even though it's exhausting, but is also very rewarding.
@@T0mek87 It's all about money these days. People are more materialistic now than ever.
@@T0mek87 There is no scientific evidence, that breastfeeding needs to happen when it comes to bonding. It is the basic feeding process- you can also feed your child with a bottle. So fathers can bond just like mothers. It is a question of choice.
In Germany we have a year maternitiy leave and parents can split that. I know a few people who split it: The mother went on leave the first 6 months and after that the father would be on leave for the rest of the year.
@Bia L True!! I just wanted to debunk people who claim that the weight is rightfully womens', because of breastfeeding and bonding. Like don't blaim sexist structures on "biology". As I said: it is a choice to bond with your child (some people dont have the privilege to choose, I see you!).
@@trillianweatherwax4181 bteastfeeding is dirtly related to sex. So is Mother-Child bond, as they are hormonally linked since conception. The fact that you cant cmell it does not mean that its not there. woman deciding to stay with kids is way more bilogical than sociological, while both are a factor. That is way more woman prefer to take the time off to care for the baby, even if they have a choice. They want to do whats best for the baby and not what is best for netflix or to anybody else for that matter
Firstly, I dislike this idea that we have all been brainwashed into believing that women are the only caregiver to children. Believe it or not, we see the trend across the world of women staying home with their newborns. Why, you ask? Well, maybe, just maybe its because the hormones they release after having cared for that baby ALREADY for nine months make them more adept to taking care of that child. Oh, and they are also the MAIN food source for that baby (i.e. breastfeeding). Maternity leave has an element of necessity for that reason alone (aside from hormonal functions that assist mothers in knowing how to bond with baby).
Second, as an Icelander myself, I find it so funny when huge nations of people (with 100 MILLION + people) look at Iceland as the pinnacle of political and social prosperity. Look at the Icelandic political system! Look at the gender equality in Iceland! Reminder- We are a country of approximately 350,000 people. That is less than the majority of small American CITIES. I know the Prime Minister of Iceland, I have met the Icelandic President on multiple occasions. And- that is simply NOT special in this country. You will see him having drinks at a bar, grocery shopping, etc. without security. Iceland is an anomaly within itself. The political system, thus, is an outlier. We have no military, we all are RELATED to one another, we know the policymakers- if we wanted to enact change we simply have to gather a group of 50+ people and it will be on the news for weeks, we can send a personal letter to the PM or go out to dinner with him/her and talk about it. We are fine with this idea of ultimate socialism because we are all related. Talk about community, talk about unity- we are legitimately ALL cousins with one another.
So, looking at this idea of paid maternity AND paternity leave for Americans. It just won't happen. And, if it does, the consequences will be complex. Want to mandate employee benefits for every corporation? Fine, they will simply hire fewer employees. Make MATERNITY leave MANDATED? Fine, they will hire less young women who might end up pregnant. The issue is not as simple as "Well, this would be nice for women so that means it should be done for women." Iceland has a plethora of issues related to their socialistic policies- everything is taxed heavily here to account for our benefits, which is why tourists who come here faint after seeing the grocery prices, our medical care is sub-par (at best), we ship most of our terminal patients to other European nations with better care when it gets THAT bad and it will take the average woman a week (oftentimes months) to get an appointment for something simple (like a UTI), we have an EXCESS of men and women gaining the system unfairly so that they can get maternity/paternity benefits for years on end- and other countrymen, in knowing how the system can be played, love to visit Iceland for a couple of years (where they get a part-time job, have their baby, and utilize the benefits, then leave). Quit over-idealizing European countries, America. You are doing fine. You have your own issues but so do we. And, a large percentage of the "amazing" system that we have created is accounted for simply by the cultural differences in Europe as compared to America- the smaller, less diverse, populations (for instance), as well as the distinctly different historical contexts that we live our lives through.
Omi Nomi I’m impressed, its one of the smartest comments I’ve seen in yt in a long time.
Slow clap... moves to a standing ovation!! Well said!!

Men produce the parenting and love hormone through bonding with their child, women get it through childbirth... It seems like maybe its men who should stay home and bond with their kids.

@KFC Man Dang
I'm a man and i'm all for it. That's not what this video is discussing though. The "gender pay gap" this video is claiming exists is not a "pay gap" at all, it's an earnings gap.
To arrive at the figure - they simply take the average earnings of all men and all women and do a direct comparison - without looking at or correcting for all of the factors that can contribute to a difference in earnings - like hours worked, shift patterns, retirement age, job type, danger pay, career breaks, communing time/distance, work/life balance etc.
Once you start correcting for all of those things - the "pay gap" tends to diminish pretty quickly.

I wonder if the family decides to let the father be a primary caregiver, his wage gap will be the same as the caregiving mother. If not, then it is a more serious problem on discrimination about women; if so, then this is a societal problem for penalizing couples for having children.
Are you stupid or something? It's statistics how can you not understand that. and motherhood is a choice so if you don't want that you don't have to then you earn as much as men.
Youcef Safer don’t you think it will be interesting to see if the choice of fatherhood cost the same as motherhood? And I really think to see if the society has certain bias towards the care giver for a family that is having children is very important. This is about the production and reproduction situation of modern human society.
Its biologically impossible to leave full responsibility to the father.. The connection between a mother and an infant is irreplaceable. Additionally if the baby is breastfed then I dont think that a man has the appropriate equipment to breastfeed it
@@mariananou4073 some wil cling to exceptions, but it'll never be a rule, I agree with you, the connection between the mother and child is innate, the mom is the only one who can give a child breast milk, and formula fed children are short changed for not having their mothers natural milk, their more likely to get diabetes, more likely to have a weaker immune system, and probably less intelligent as well, women who go out and work while their child's at home just end up feeling guilty and trying to reconcile working while feeling this way it is a backwards world that tries to reinvent roles for its members, I hope we recognize the need for mothers to be mothers....
These are not the only two factors that explain the wage gap, men and women behave differently. Men makeup 96% of workplace fatalities and do more dangerous and labor intensive jobs compared to women, men also make-up majority of the patent earners. Only 4% of patents have women only inventors. How about we compare women only workplaces compared to male only workplaces and consider the work output of both and see if how much of the difference is just due to men outperforming women. Despite all the subsidies into women only programs, all the women groups and all the "positive discrimination" from early childhood, to gynocentric schools and colleges to the job-market we are still unable to manufacture parity between men and women.

Not a single man interviewed, why?
The fact that the pay gap is mostly due to different choices of work and worktime, rather than becoming a mother, is not mentioned at all, very weak in a documentary about exactly that issue.
One women at the end said it very well. "As long as we make it a womens problem we are reinforcing stereotypes".
For every womens issue in progressive countries in todays world, there is a antagonist mens issue.
A women loses her husbad in war - A man died to protect his country/family.
A women stays home to raise the children - A man has the pressure to provide for them.
Most caregivers are women and are underpayed - Most labourers are men and are underpayed
There are way more single moms than single dads - A man has a much harder time to get custody for the child
A women has the burden to decide for or against abortion - A man can not decide if his child is gonna be born
A women is more likely to be seen as weak - A man can not show weakness
The list goes on almost infinite, and most of it is NOT just due to the structure of our society but because of the biological and psychological differences and the symbiose between men and women that created the structure of our society. We are a TEAM and we are supposed to complement each other, if we now try to tackle these differences unilaterally with the goal of equal outcomes, we bring the relationship between men and women and thus the structure of our society out of balance and only create new issues, like for example the demonisation of typical male character traits and sexual desires, a raise in psychological issues in both men and women, gender issues, MORE single parents, MORE divorces and many many more. Start seeing both sides of the coin and you will be much more content with your life, your choices and your duties as a man or a women, whatever you believe they may be.
I suspect the decision to interview solely women was made to avoid points being dismissed because it's a man making it.
@@nyxredfern5042 And that is exactly the problem and it makes the documentary biased. When making a unbiased documentary the goal is not to make the points so they can't be dismissed, but to present facts. When i focus on the first thing it is propaganda by definition. Don't get me wrong, propaganda isn't always a bad thing, you could even argue that propaganda for equality is a good thing. BUT, i have to ask the question: Why does Netflix release a biased documentary about exactly that topic? Most women interviewed had very rational perspectives and argued very reasonable, only the commentator, who happened to also be female, intervened with very biased comments that did not fit at all to what the women were saying.
This documentary is clearly directed to vulnerable women, and it's objective is to make those women feel less, feel opressed and it pressures the women who fall for it to be discontent with their situation in life, all under the context of gender inequality.
In reality, documentaries like this lead to the exact opposite of what they pretend to want to archieve, they divide our society under the umbrella of identity politics. It is really sad for both manhood and womanhood.

when talking about patriarchy, understand we are talking about a system. So in this system that puts women in the child rearing role, fathers are put in the provision role and this has consequences for both groups. The woman might be better at providing, not want kids, or have more passion for her career, the man may be a better caregiver, not earn as much and hate his job. But society pushes both to focus on one rather than what they want to do

And yes, some women are better at providing than some men, and some men might be better caregivers than some women, but on average it's the opposite, and that's not mainly due to society, but due to inherent differences, on average, between the genders.
If your argument would be right, the most egalitarian countries would have more equal role distributions than less egalitarian countries, which is not the case.
I dont want to be insulting, i know it is a very sensitive topic. And i know there is a lot of injustice in this world and a lot of it is against women. But that does not mean that every claim that is made for that case is right and justified.
@@1bullneck1 we do live in a partiachy. And we don't have egalitarian societies, we just have some that are more equal than others and by definition that means the role distribution in those countries is more equal.
It's very easy to use the argument of things that are "inherent" to genders until you look back in time and get outside of your culture to observe societies where women do things that are thought to be inherent to men and vice versa, or look back in your culture's history and learn what people thought women could not do biologically. Biological arguments have been used invariably to exclude women from ownership, trade, autonomy, education, leadership, etc. Over time with rebellion and fights and tiresome debates, we realize women can be involved in these things as competently or as incompetently as men.
Just a friendly reminder: giving an explanation about why such things exist, doesn't make it okay. It just means that we're aware society considers women as baby makers before accounting them as a valuable asset to the economy or the society. And with that knowledge in mind, the people in power just decided to turn a blind eye on the matter. Because if you can't see it, why correct a wrong that doesn't exist?
Things are changing with more and more millenials refusing to get married or have children, which is a good thing I suppose
Are women on average less valuable then men to the economy - yes, voluntarily they just don't want to sacrifice as much (i'm talking about statistics and average numbers). One is sure, they are equally important for the society. Your value is not just based on how much you earn, taking care of other people counts for something, you know

Wage Gap between single fathers vs married fathers vs men without kids?
I imagine a married man with kids is going to work as much as he can. Especially if his wife has decided not to work or work part time after having kids. This video talks about the choices women have, but how many men get a choice to go part time after his child is born? Or stop working and providing?
Very good question. To bad more people don't ask logical questions like this.
@@anneb889 when talking about patriarchy, understand we are talking about a system. So in this system that puts women in the child rearing role, fathers are put in the provision role and this has consequences for both groups. The woman might be better at providing, not want kids, or have more passion for her career, the man may be a better caregiver, not earn as much and hate his job. But society pushes both to focus on one rather than what they want to do
i would love to see a video on that as well. also it’s interesting to mention that for theyve done a few studies that for the most part women don’t like being with men that make less than them.
That hurts the narrative.
Dam...proud of Netflix right now...making this free. Well done
Yeah but there are missing information. So it is actually a very poor job, only classifiable as virtue signaling
Bia Pac ofc its Vox
Nick Smith You’re joking right?
the smiley face rock No he’s right they didn’t even mention that men are 20% more productive LMAOOO
Solid_Snake, I know many women who make more money than their husbands.
Could someone mention the reference of 2019 mega study debriefed in the documentary, please? D.
Equality is not about standing on equal footing. It's about acknowledging each other's strengths and weaknesses and working together to fill that gap.
You don't serve same course of meal to a Bodybuilder and a lawyer.
So you don’t pay a man and women equally? Or you think society should be based on one gender having the upper hand when it comes to higher paying jobs and positions? Sounds like a shitty power dynamic
Equality is about giving equal opportunities of everyone disregardes of what are one's weakness and strenght is.
@@arrrrr1689 opportunities right? But why are people asking for same treatment even if they are not doing same work after getting the opportunity?
Shouldve mentioned this was made by vox in the title
Well, is in the descripction
So if a man makes more cause women are having children, isn't it the man who is making more, but also spending more to take care of the woman and their children? They need to do a study on how much more money the man spends on the family compared to how much a woman spends. Willing to bet that pay gap gets annihilated.
Honestly its stupid fight because father earnings are family income. Who cares if men earns 10k and women earns 0 or both earn 5k? At the end of a day its 10k family income.
based
@@michawolinski314 Not if you're single. If you're a single women and you earn 0, then there's really something wrong with the society
@@babyboomersanta92 Well if you watched the video they explained that the gap was mainly due to motherhood. So this is not an issue for single women who aren't mothers. And when picking a partner, women should make good judgements with the men they are sleeping with. They need to take into account if the man works, will stay and support, and is ready to raise children. I've found that if both man and woman work, then regardless of who makes more, the person who makes more should pitch in a little more just to be fair.
@@Dteezyt05 Huh what? I wasn't talking to you and I don't think you understood what I meant with my reply (and I'm too lazy to explain it so yeah but basically it was a kind of a joke but yeah have a great day tho)
If women are paid less than men, wouldn't companies just hire women so that the company can gain more profit than if they hired men?
There is no pay gap, there are just different jobs and rankings in that job.
So basically the solution is PAID PARENTAL LEAVE. My question is this: if I were an employer, why do I have to keep paying my employee if they're not going to be working for 3 to 6 months? Keep in mind that I have to temporarily replace them with another person and PAY THAT NEW PERSON AS WELL. I feel like this is so unfair towards the employer. Although as an employee I'd love to have that benefit, I can't help but position myself as an employer and be forced to pay somebody who will not be working.
I think paternity leaves and transferring more childcare responsibilities to the men would be the answer.
@@leanna8611 Yes, I completely agree with men taking more responsibility in raising children. Though I have to add that I don't believe they should be paid when they're not working.
@@aegontargaryen8934 sure, but paid or unpaid, paternity leaves are almost non existent in most countries. In Japan fo instance, when a member of the government took leave when his child was born, he was widely criticised by everyone. In my country too, I've never heard of someone taking paternity leaves.
Moving forward, I think we need to look at parenting as a combined effort instead of putting the responsibility mostly on women.
@@leanna8611 Transferring childcare needs to men makes it difficult for the male to maximize his earning potential which ultimately is a net negative for the family, it seems like asking men to prioritize this is just a way to self sabotage the earning potential of the male, which I would argue is a greater indicator of marriage longevity than a high earning mother, my reasoning behind this being, instinctively women marry across and up hierarchies so if a man is not earning enough this could actually threaten the integrity of the relationship. A study in Scandinavia I believe shows that when women get promoted they are twice as likely to divorce their partners, the effects on the man in this case were supposedly minimal. paternity leave wont solve the issue it'll just make the man a target for workplace discrimination in the same way women are, it really doesnt matter how much paternity or maternity leave we throw at people, it wont solve much.
It would have to be 100% state funded
they define the difference as if the money earned by the man was left to himself.
at no point does it mention that all the money that the man earns at work is destined for the family
I am a part time working dad, who chose to stay home to look after our kids, and let my wife earn all the money. My pay halved, but, The rewards of looking after you kids and watching them grow and become educated etc, is something money just cannot buy,.
exactly. there is more to life than work.
Great video ❤️
this is more like children make you make less money. Not women make less money.
Well, yes... and also no. Because of societal norms perpetuated by decades of patriarchy, women are seen as the “nurturers and caregivers” who must sacrifice their careers to care for their children. Children wouldn’t be an issue if not for these notions. As it stands, unfortunately, women do happen to make less money as a result of this. We need to eradicate these views in order for men and women at large to take on balanced roles as both care providers and breadwinners 👍
@@andpeggy9626 agreed but at least they have a choice. And physiologically woman are more empathetic (generally) then men which is why they make better carers such as nurses, and teachers. Which are all important jobs
Finlay Thomas they do have a choice, but societal pressures and the absence of paternity leave skew that choice. I also agree that there are fundamental differences between men and women, (for example, men are generally stronger) but quite honestly I don’t think men having a a tenuously agreed upon lower standard of empathy is excuse to foist the brunt of the childcare on women, and doing so is probably a bit demeaning to men honestly lol, but yeah I agree there is a probably a correlation between women and choosing jobs related to care, but also, that may partly just be the Placebo Effect- a product of society asserting that women belong in those roles...
Sorry for writing a novel! Haha
@@andpeggy9626 Feminism: The freedom to work in an office for most of your life so you can fight the patriarchy by paying someone else to raise your children.
Men will never have the choice to have children. Why must society be gender balanced across everything? That is not a rhetorical question.
@@andpeggy9626 Let couples have the Freedom to make those decisions. You can have that discussion with your husband now. No need to make a law forcing people what they should do.
We have a system very similar to Iceland, and when I was born my dad took more maternity leave than my mom, as she had a higher paying job than my dad, who’s was studying and had a part time job... I didn’t realize how atypical that is, but this video really puts it in perspective...
so make sure that, god forbid but if in case your parents decide to part their ways, your father gets equal custody over you as your mother does too.
And....
Iceland's birth rate is now below population maintenance, great progress
It is a typical - but not because the rules don't exist to allow it elsewhere, but because women choose to take the bulk of maternity leave.
I know a couple who were in exactly the same situation - with the woman earning more than her husband.....yet when he offered to take the maternity leave and allow her to go back to work to concentrate on her career and maximise her earnings - she told him in no uncertain terms where to go. She took the absolute maximum maternity leave she could for both of her children.
Maybe during an 8-hour childbirth, the man should take over and push the baby out for 4 hours so the woman can get up and go to work. Then the man can stay home on maternity leave to produce breastmilk.
The inherent differences between men and women cannot be denied. It is better to perform one's duty properly from one's place than to calculate who is performing more duty or whose duty is more important.
Where could I find the references?
I would have loved to see the 2018 Danish study also measure the effect on men's pay who take parental leave or reduced responsibilities at work after having a child. Instead, it measured only the effect on each gender group as a whole, so we're left not knowing whether the pay gap for motherhood is actually a pay gap for parenthood, affecting either parent who takes extended leave, reduces professional responsibilities, or drops out of the workforce altogether after having a child.
No one told the men to work
@@AM-vs6ff yet societis condemn them as useless when not working

pretty sure they could have used a better female icon than Hillary Clinton, someone self-made.
Bill Clinton didn't give Hillary her law degree, she earned it. Unlike Bill who was impeached for perjury & had his licence to practice law suspended, Hillary's career has been largely blemish free. Like it or not, between 1993 and 2017, Hillary Clinton was voted most admired woman 22 times ! So YOU might not think she's self-made or an icon, but America DEFINITELY does.

@@milenad.k.2238 Lol she is very farm from self-mad, getting a degree and practicing a law makes and getting most admired women doesn't make you a self made politician that she was in past 2 decades.
And lets not talk about the amount people(including women and children) that had to die because of here.
If pay gap exists, why companies just don't hire women? They can save a lot of money💰.
Did you even watch the video?
It's not a gender issue, it's a mommy issue.
they make it seem like being told to get a full time job is a desirable thing
They said it’s okay as long as you have a choice but then say the answer is to force men to take paternity leave? You should be allowed to choose and reward those who are more focused on their work life men and women alike.
Its not forced. If you listen it its encouraged so men are offered the paternity leave and they take it or they dont. It was frased in a way that it was hard to understand.
One point to make: equalize the number of men and women in high risk jobs (which pay more because of the risk), and then take some stats. Does anyone else think that might close this gap?
Another point: My wife and I are expecting in March! I'm very excited to work with her to raise our child. My wife works feeding dairy cows, and I work on a farm. She is already struggling with her work in only the first trimester of pregnancy. I have taken on more responsibilities around the home that she shouldn't do, for the health of her and our growing child. I will have to work more hours to maintain the same level of income we have right now. Where is the equality in that?
Please understand that I'm not upset with my wife in any way because of this. We made this decision together and knew what it would entail. My wife is ecstatic and so am I! We don't think our views, or experience, are represented in this documentary because they don't fit the narrative. That narrative being that a difference in median pay, between the two sexes, is claimed to be based upon the fact that they're different and that's it. There is nothing negative about being a woman, or about being a man, that isn't derived from some sort of prejudice. My wife is an amazing and powerful person, and her singing is beautiful. That's not the only reason I cherish her of course, but it's one simple example. I don't look at her as just a woman, but as an awesome human being. She and I agreed to make the decision to have children, knowing full well what comes with that.
Life on this Earth is a team effort, whether it is between men and women, between races, or what have you. We should start acting like it, instead of fighting against each other because of generalized surface characteristics. Treat each other like human beings, and find solutions in disagreements.
They want equal outcome you know doctor being paid the same as a gender studies bum or computer science major being paid the same as person with a degree in fashion or political science
Women don't want them. Coal mining is 98% male. Ditch-digging is 98% male. Boiler making, roof tiling, open sea fishing.... all men, all dangerous. Women are predisposed to safer, more fulfilling jobs. Which is why 92% of workplace deaths are men.
In my job women dont want to stay and work overtime. They are the first ones that want to go home. Meanwhile as much as i am dissatisfied working there i stay and work overtime.
Which job do you work in
that has nothing to do with gender, that’s about being a corporate slave. enjoy
@@LoveMeanKitties yes i am enjoying my overtime pay. As i will retire early with all the etherium I bought early last year. The real slaves subscribe to a victim mentality like femenism. Enjoy 😉
Very interesting
"Choice gap good, pay gap bad."
"Let's close pay gap! good!"
"Let's close choice gap too, without removing the choice. Only consequences."
wait what!?
“But women are chosen to be the single parent even if they’re not fit to do the job” Yes, that’s a result of women being expected to do job of child rearing purely because of their gender. Societal expectations of women vs. men play into the gender pay gap, which the video touched on. They’re arguing that women working the same job as men are paid less because the woman is unnecessarily obligated to take care of the children on their own, while men are expected to not take care of their children and continue to work. They admitted that actual gender discrimination in pay is a very small part of the overall picture. The majority of these comments make it clear that you didn’t even watch the video.
Still a choice. A big part of the problem, is couples not discussing this before choices are taken away. It is too late to have equal footing in the decisions on kids yes or no and if yes how many, AFTER she is pregnant...
Women are paid the same as men for the same work. It's just that women don't work as hard as men. So you can stop whining now. You're not a victim. Check your female privilege.
That's because your gender is BORN and designed to care for children.
Just like I'm BORN for power and strength
Which my records confirm
You have 15- 20x less (ie 1500-2,000% less) testosterone and are more empathetic and far less aggressive.
You also have longer attention span for repetitive, menial labor.
Don't tell me you're not far more suited to for childcare.
First of all what's so wrong with women being expected to do the major part of child rearing?! The woman carries the child for nine months in her womb, the baby becomes naturally attached to it's mother and vice versa, the baby also feeds directly from it's mother even after birth (breastfeeding). This is also very necessary for the child's early development. The child grows to appreciate this and so does the rest of society, everyone is happy with this arrangement except for SJWs whose wish is to destroy society and human life.
@@kestonagboro4262 it's wrong to expect it and then not give her a choice. If a couple intends to have a baby and she doesn't want to take care of it I think that should be discussed before conception.....but, if she doesn't bring it up and there are no extenuating circumstances...then it would be fair to have such an expectation "by default"
What is the name of the back song
Very good video. I can see fathers really being more loving and involved with their children because they have been allowed to share in all the wonderful stages of their children's development. It will be much healthier for the family as a whole and society will be stronger for it. Well done, Netflix!
Yeah nice one Netflix, stir up more derision and anger over a misrepresented problem that can’t be solved due to biology. What could be better.
Once you calculate "hours worked", the gap goes away..
There isn't a gap because of any other reason that hours worked. Discriminating against men so women can get jobs they aren't qualified for or interested in isn't going to help men at all. The diversity and affirmative action movement if anything has harmed the nation and forced jobs to get outsourced to different nations.
This is why I am not having children. Not only have I never had the desire to, but it holds you back in every aspect of your life. You aren't you anymore, youre a mother. Plus Im Latina, I'm already paid less compared to white women.
can we get a go fund me for this BAME
This is probably the stupidest argument I have seen in my life. Not having the desire to have kids is one thing but to think that a child will “hold you back” and that you aren’t you is just absolutely egoistic and it says a lot about how much ambition you have in order to chase and achieve your goals. There are so many empowering women who are both mothers and achieved what they wanted in life and they are still THEMSELVES. I won’t even comment on the fact that you use the fact that you are Latina as an excuse in some way...
@@aneliyashtereva4730 your comment is also stupid because you are assuming its a one size fits all, just cuz you know women that can do it doesn't mean every woman can, some young women especially those of color, not only have to support themselves but their families also, based on her unique circumstance, if she feels having a child holds her back, who are you to judge?
@@aneliyashtereva4730 stfu, talking out of your ass and making assumptions lol
Decipher Euphony Notations lol this is definitely not what I meant with my comment :D first of all being of color is not a reason to be backed down this is like saying if you are a person of color you can do this but you can’t do that based on your unique circumstances. Everybody is living their life with their own unique circumstances, with their own desires and needs. Secondly, I am not judging anybody - imo everybody has their own right to choose what they wish to do with their life, but definitely not use skin color as a way of excuse why they cannot accomplish their desires :) do whatever makes you happy
Great video.
The Rwandan case is interesting to me, because I have long seen the good side of bad things. Years back, I read a study about the gender makeup of CEOs and the top three were in the Caribbean and South America. And I immediately thought this must come from slavery. For example, on my island, about 95% of women are black and our women have worked for 300 years. I do not know a single woman in my generation or my mother’s that does not work. Obviously, slavery and genocide are horrific things, but sometimes they have an odd perk, here and there.
So when people are doing worse, it's because of slavery, but when people are doing better, it's also because of slavery? Amazing logic.
Ahh , that Vox Production is just.... Awesome
