re: Serious question about white male privilege

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
