that 77cents on the dollar stat is bs. It looks at overall income differences per field (which doesn't take into account the fact that women leave to have children, don't go as far in a profession, take 4 day weeks, because kids, blar dee fucking blar), not a like for like comparison of particular roles, where people tend to get paid the same. Women's studies courses probably wouldn't survive without that bogus stat so they keep propping it up.

it's not bullshit it's the point of this stat. to look at it generally and to hint at the idea that women are expected to do things (opposed to men) that harm their income, ie there's something in the gender that makes them earn less.

Where is Zeff? He got this quite worked out in some earlier thread, I remember. Seemed like he was emotionally invested too, so he prolly knows his shit.

Aww, I was expecting instant smackdown from dizzy not eugene. heheh.
