Comment on Women in Iceland including the prime minister go on strike for equal pay and an end to violence
bioemerl@kbin.social 8 months agoThey want more pay because they're paid less.
Pay isn't just given to you. If you don't work the same hours you shouldn't be paid the same.
If you demand you get paid the same regardless, you're a selfish asshole, not fighting for equality.

They would still work the same hours. What is your argument?

They currently aren't working the same hours. When you control for job choice and hours worked the pay gap goes away.

Yes, they are. That's the point.

At this point you're just asserting a falsehood. There is little else to say.
