Women CEOs make more than Men - SunsetBengal - 05-28-2016 How can this possibly be? According to politicians on the Left, we are led to believe that Women are underpaid. Buh, buh, but income inequality, war on women! http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/breakingnews/story/2016/may/25/female-ceos-make-more-men-second-straight-year-overall-numbers-remain-small/367696/ RE: Women CEOs make more than Men - BmorePat87 - 05-28-2016 It's a shame the article went on to explain that a small sample size (women only make up 5% of all CEOs) is contributing to the skewing of data and that there still remains an issue of gender parity in the corporate world... It also fails to address the implied claim that women are not underpaid as this is only dealing with 17 of the 72 million women currently working in the US. There are some legitimate argument against the claim that women are underpaid, and many focus on the psychology of men versus women (women are less likely to negotiate or ask for higher pay or raises, etc), but that's also not addressed by the article.

No sir. What this actually shows, is that Women who indeed want to be at the top, do very well, when they get there.

So the problem is women don't WANT to be at the top. ![]() RE: Women CEOs make more than Men - bfine32 - 05-28-2016 (05-28-2016, 11:03 AM)GMDino Wrote: So the problem is women don't WANT to be at the top. Not all women. Some find fulfillment in being a homemaker, serving in lower-level positions, or positions of less responsibility/workload to obtain an equal balance in quality of life; similar to some men. I actually have a retired COL (one step from General) who works for me and has zero desire to progress because he is a huge advocate of Boy Scouts and is always taking time off. But that was a valiant attempt to paint someone a sexist. Keep fishing, sooner or later you are bound to catch something.

RE: Women CEOs make more than Men - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 05-28-2016 I think everyone deserves to be treated fairly. I'm sure you feel the same way. RE: Women CEOs make more than Men - GMDino - 05-28-2016 From the linked article: Quote:But only a small sliver of the largest companies are run by women, and experts say gender parity at the top remains way off.So a slightly misleading title....

Reminds me of when Cincy's Best tried to prove that slavery was not that bad for black people becaue some black people owned slaves. RE: Women CEOs make more than Men - Brownshoe - 05-28-2016 Meh, I hate this gender wage gap stuff. Yes, women earn less than men on average, BUT they don't get paid less for the same work. The gender pay gap is made by comparing all earnings of men and women even if they have completely different jobs. GENERALLY speaking women take more jobs like, nurses, social workers, ect... while men normally take jobs in manual labor, or STEM (which normally pay more). Men also statistically work more OT than women too, which makes the gap even farther. There are already laws in place that force employers to pay women the same as men. Should we force more men into jobs dominated by women, or force women into more jobs that are dominated by men? I think that people should be able to choose what job they want, even if they get paid less for said job.

And here in lies the biggest problem I have with people who spout off constantly about the "wage gap". They offer no real solutions. So what should we do? Give men pay cuts across the board, cuz you know equality ![]() RE: Women CEOs make more than Men - SunsetBengal - 05-28-2016 (05-28-2016, 11:28 AM)GMDino Wrote: From the linked article: Well then, here.

RE: Women CEOs make more than Men - Benton - 05-28-2016 CEO pay is a bad example. The vast majority are grossly overpaid, regardless of how they pee. And given the snowball effect of pay at the top over the last 20 years, you won t get a viable comparison. By the time someone gets fired or removed, they've already made (usually) much more than their predecessor. |
