re: If the Wage Gap Exists, Why Do Companies Hire Men?

Men don't often get pregnant and leave.

Yeah, and too often this is assessed from a "men don't hire women as much for higher positions because of this." I'm sure that is partially true, but women tend to stall out their careers more often and with more regularity (on purpose) than men do.

Which, to most normal people, is fine. Rational people will go "yes, men and women tend to have different priorities, and it makes sense that over time men would outpace them in earning capability." SJWs go "WHY DO YOU ASSUME WOMEN DONT WANT BLAHBLAHBLAH" and hence we tune them out.
