Serious question about white male privilege
Posted on 2/17/17 at 3:57 pm
Posted on 2/17/17 at 3:57 pm
We are constantly informed by the media that women and minorities are paid less than white men.
I think this is false based on my personal experience as a woman in a medical profession. I know many women in leadership positions who are very well paid and none of them are feminists.
Women are more likely to pause their careers because we are privileged with the responsibility of birthing babies. That time off affects the average salary and opportunity to get merit raises. It's not unfair at all.
Why is this so hard to understand?If you disagree or have a different experience please explain it to me.

That's what the left doesn't want you to do. Or if you do, they want you to abort it immediately. Can't have anything coming in the way of a woman and her career!

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

It's not hard to understand for most of us. You are probably analytical, like most republicans. Some Democrats are all emotion; they can't be reasoned with using just facts.

white male privilege = caucasiphobia.

Since white males are being attacked left and right by our culture, I'd say the privilege part is no longer.
And this isn't new...this has been going on since the early 90's. Covers of Time and Newseek...Public Enemy #1, the white male.

The left needs victims and lots of them. Without a permanent victim class they would never have a chance in any election.

Because we are born with an innate sense of superiority. It's in the cosmos, the ether...
So to speak.
Although...women do make better grades and are the majority at most public institutions. And single women with no kids make more than single Males with no kids.. but I digress. We all understand that sometimes there are more important things to do
Than work 80 hours a week. But...equality.

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

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

I want my White Privilege because I must have missed it when they were passing it out.

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

I have never understand white male privilege.
It may have been a issue over 20 years ago.
Maybe I am not around enough minorities.

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.
