re: Serious question about white male privilege

Sports is probably the only place where women aren't compensated the same based on performance. At least it seems that way.

why is it so difficult to just pay everyone a similar wage relative to their job performance?

Never worked anywhere that didn't.

The gap is there. It's getting better but it's there.

The study, based on more than 500,000 salary reports from its users, compared the pay of men and women with the same job title, at similar companies, in the same state, with similar levels of education and experience.
Even after making this apples-to-apples comparison,

They call that apples to apples, but it's not. It's closer to apples to apples, bUT not quite.

And that brought it to 95 cents in the dollar

I worked at a bar where females were favored. But I would make more tips because I spent more time doing my job and actually serving people

In my line of work women are favored. Pay is the same but they are exempt from most outside duties which is expected of all employees.

I wonder if they're going to demand equal treatment by paying the same insurance as men.

The wage gap is largely mythical. What they list is not wages but mean earnings for 'full time's workers, that men make like 22% more. What is not included are all the other factors, such as career field choices ( the top 10 highest paying majors are dominated by men, the top 10 lowest paying majors are dominated by women), the fact that women are more likely to take career pauses or take jobs with flexible hours or good benefits but lower pay. It's also does not factor in that on average men work about 4 hours more each week. Studies that do more analysis than just taking a mean take the wage gap down to like 3%, which is just about within the margin of error of such studies. It's already federal law that people of equal qualifications and experience be paid the same wage, which is what happens. The wage gap does not describe equal pay for equal work, but that's how it's presented in arguments

So you agree with some of the article but not this part ?

White males did have a great advantage when manufacturing/production was muscle and bone, and the major determinant for innate individual value. As a generality, men are more apt to be adventurous, to gamble for what might be...therein creative. Traditionally, women are more conservative, organized and careful...for both genetic and cultural reasons.

We got to where we are by men fighting, and women having children and holding the home down. Those genes don't go away quickly; though the Culture is changing fast. The whole 'white male privilege' is part of that Cultural change; more a petty ego mind game than empirically true nowadays.

Race/Minority wise...generally, White men certainly aren't privileged in Professional Sports. Genetically inferior in that respect. Obviously.

Just my 2 cents.

Whole lotta snowflakes in this thread.
