    If you ever want an example of how so called gender pay gaps can be explained by factors other than gender the Uber example is worth looking up

    What if someone is gender fluid? Do they get paid differently depending on what they identify as. One week paid as a man,the next week paid as a woman......

    On a serious note this is actually correct. Watched a Netflix documentary I think where they said Women are paid multiple times that of their partner (if a man) to do a scene.
    Whereas for a gay the only way to try and compete is to perform in gay scenes.
    Those that are refused are shown the back door.
    Weeheyy

    Especially in the fisting genre. I heard the gap is huge.

    If employers were able to get away with paying women less for the same work a man could do, don’t you think they’d be hiring women left, right and centre and favouring them over male candidates?

    What exists is more of an earnings gap than a pay gap. Men, as a group, earn more than women.

    This doesn’t mean there is some inherent bias where women are paid less than their male colleagues who are carrying out the same work. It just means a lot of engineers are male and a lot of nurses are female.***

    You might question why that is the case, but usually articles on the matter go nowhere near addressing such an issue. There was a study last year by the women’s institute that calculated the actual pay gap to be closer to 4% or something like that.

    Does anybody think that women who work for Aer Lingus are paid as much, on average, as the men who work for Aer Lingus? Do you think that they should be paid the same, regardless of whether they are in charge of the personal safety of the entire aircraft or if they are in charge of asking whether you want chicken or fish? I’m exaggerating to hammer home the point here, but this is the basis of an earnings gap.

    Here’s a scenario:
    Imagine a company of 200 people. 50 male scientists and 50 female scientists, each earing €100k. The rest of the staff is made up of ancillary work like cleaners, security guards, receptionists, typists etc. By some quirk, every one of those people is paid exactly the same, say €30k, regardless of job, religion or sex.

    This is the very definition of an equal pay workforce. All men and women are paid the same as their colleagues doing the same job, whether they are scientists or cleaners.

    If the ancillary staff are made up of 20 men and 80 women though, this skews the reading of the statistics. All of a sudden, the men in that company earn an average of €80k per year while the women only take home an average that is less than €57k.

    40% Paygap, outta nowhere.

    The irony is that to correct this imbalance, the correct thing to do would be to fire 30 women and hire the same number of men in their place.

    How’s that for equality?


    ***Overly simplistic and flawed, but you get what I mean
