@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure "[P]aid less"? Try working less, @NoahZukowski.

"[O]nce we control only for one variable—hours worked—and compare men and women both working 40-hours per week in 2017, more than one-third of the raw 18.2% pay gap reported by the BLS disappears" (fee.org/articles/a-new…).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure Did you know that “unmarried, childless women under 30 who live in cities” already out-earn men pursuant to @TIME Magazine (content.time.com/time/business/…), @usnews & World Report (usnews.com/debate-club/sh…), and @PolitiFact's @PunditFact (politifact.com/punditfact/sta…)?
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact "What’s especially interesting is that women working 35-39 hours per week [in 2017] earned 107% of men’s earnings for those weekly hours, i.e., there was a 7% gender earnings gap in favor of female workers for that cohort" (fee.org/articles/a-new…).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact The problem is that if you add up both the unpaid labor and paid labor, men work more total time than women creating a #GenderedLaborGap pursuant to the @BLS_gov's 2017 American Time Use Survey (bls.gov/news.release/a…) and @pewresearch data (pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018…).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch According to the @BLS_gov, "[o]n the days they worked, employed men worked 49 minutes more than employed women. … However, even among full-time workers (those usually working 35 hours or more per week), men worked more per day than women—8.4 hours, compared with 7.9 hours."
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Pursuant to @BLS_gov data in the American Time Use Survey, the average man is getting the equivalent of over 26½ (8-hour) days of experience more than the average woman is getting on the job (bls.gov/news.release/a…, p. 2).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Dividing the total hours worked into 8-hour workdays, using the @BLS_gov data from the American Time Use Survey, it's almost as if men (on average) are working 13 months a year to women's less than 12 months per year (bls.gov/news.release/a…, p. 2).

This adds up over time.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Now, looking only at full-time workers, pursuant to @BLS_gov data in the American Time Use Survey, the average man is getting the equivalent of over 16 (8-hour) days of experience more than the average woman is getting on the job (bls.gov/news.release/a…, p. 2).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Dividing the total hours worked into 8-hour workdays, using the @BLS_gov data from the American Time Use Survey, it's almost as if men (on average) are working nearly 12½ months a year to women's less than 12 (bls.gov/news.release/a…, p. 2).

Albeit slower, this adds up fast.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch American Time Use Survey (with 2017 as an example) shows that women on average are not spending enough more time with their kids, doing chores, or anything else to justify women's lack of time working.

On average, men just work more in America (considering both paid and unpaid).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Let's do the math:

Table 8A, column 1: Men: Women:
Household activities: 1.31 2.34
Caring for household: 1.01 1.85
Work-related activities: 5.46 3.37
==========
Total: 7.78 7.56
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Now comparing the men from Table 8B to the women from Table 8C (where the youngest child is under 6):

Women care for and help household members 2.08 more hours per day than men in the most extreme case presented by Table 8A, but men work 6.43 hours more per day than women.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Similarly, comparing the men from Table 8B to the women from Table 8C (where the youngest child is under 6), women do household activities for 1.91 more hours per day than men in the most extreme case presented by Table 8A, but, again, men work 6.43 hours more per day than women.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Let's do the math: Men: Women:
Household activities: 1.26 3.17
Caring for household: 1.42 3.36
Work-related activities: 6.57 0.00
==========
Total: 9.25 6.53

Equal, @NoahZukowski?
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch By comparing the men from Table 8B to the women from Table 8C (using the youngest child under 6 column), we see the situation where women are unemployed and spending the most time caring not only for the children but the whole family.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Other @BLS_gov data (see below) indicates that 61% of families have both parents employed (bls.gov/opub/ted/2017/…), but does not indicate whether the mothers are working full-time or part-time.

The American Time Use Survey does have an answer in Table 8B.

Let's check that out.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Let's do the math:

Table 8B, column 1: Men: Women:
Household activities: 1.23 1.90
Caring for household: 0.93 1.52
Work-related activities: 6.35 5.01
===========
Total: 8.51 8.43
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Maybe women are forced to stay home with their kids and that causes the gap. If true, women with no kids should be working the same amount as men in the workforce as there is no reason not to since there is no reason to be on call and no extra household or child care duties.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Let's do that math:

Table 8A, column 4: Men: Women:
Household activities: 1.54 2.21
Caring for household: 0.07 0.07
Work-related activities: 4.11 2.83
===========
Total: 5.72 5.11
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Consider just workers:

Table 8B, column 4: Men: Women:
Household activities: 1.34 1.80
Caring for household: 0.04 0.05
Work-related activities: 6.17 5.29
===========
Total: 7.55 7.14
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Whether you consider all currently childless folks (Table 8A) or just the ones working (Table 8B), women spend less time on paid labor and related activities and women spend less time working considering both unpaid domestic labor and paid labor added together. The pattern holds.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch Women being less productive than men (and that contributing to the pay gap) is apparently not news.

@LexyTopping writes "[m]en should work less and their employers and the government should help them to do so in order to close the gender pay gap" (google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch @LexyTopping On page 5 of _The State of Pay: Demystifying the Gender Pay Gap_ (May 2018), Institute for Public Policy Research writes as part of their 3rd recommendation that "[c]hanging men’s working behaviour is a crucial component of closing the gender pay gap" (ippr.org/files/2018-05/…).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch @LexyTopping "To reduce the gender stratification of full and part-time roles, and reduce the maternity penalty, employers could… introduce dedicated, paid paternity leave…, to advertise roles as flexible by default, and to encourage men to partake in job share arrangements." Id., p. 5.
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch @LexyTopping The @IPPR continues stating that the pay gap "doesn’t take into account any of the drivers of different pay levels, such as age, qualifications, experience or seniority, or type of work" (ippr.org/files/2018-05/…, p. 6).
@NoahZukowski @PotipharJo @CodeLaure @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @BLS_gov @pewresearch @LexyTopping @IPPR "As such, a firm-level gender pay gap does not indicate discriminatory practices, and is not unlawful" (ippr.org/files/2018-05/…, p. 6).

Is reasonably expecting (and getting) more pay than men (on average) despite working less than men (on average) a privilege, @NoahZukowski?

There is a faction in both parties that want to get rid of disability benefits for disabled citizens, disabled workers, and disabled veterans in order to teach young men the value of being responsible; women aren’t responsible.

Veterans are irresponsible moochers to these folks. Image

@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite The Department of Labor gets similar numbers in their surveys.

In both surveys, when considering both paid work and unpaid domestic labor for the household, men (generally) work more hours than women consistently (whether or not there are children in the picture).
@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite If you add up both the unpaid labor and paid labor, on average, men work more total time than women creating a #GenderedLaborGap pursuant to (as an example) the @BLS_gov's 2017 American Time Use Survey (bls.gov/news.release/a…) and @pewresearch's data (pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…).

@Stoicsense2 If you know the history, then you know why this keeps happening despite laws saying that equal or shared parenting is possible. Many of us were told lies.

What is the real purpose of child support?

Why are mothers given preferential custody orders?
@Stoicsense2 The law changed in what’s now the United Kingdom🇬🇧 (granting women custody of their kids after divorce) because of the whinging of an adulterous ex-wife () and the United States🇺🇸 soon followed with the Talfourd Act (named after the British🇬🇧 reformer).spartacus-educational.com/Wcustody39.htm
@Stoicsense2 The reason child support exists is not for the sake of the children.

Child support exists because women — unlike men — were viewed by society (including by women) to be incompetent in handling their finances and incapable of working enough to care for children by themselves.

@melJsaysso I think it is time for a history lesson.

@AaronHeikkila, @BigHeadMafia,
@vhjvh70477682, and @newboots1977, you all may find it interesting.

Mel Jones (@melJsaysso) has read this before.
@melJsaysso @AaronHeikkila @BigHeadMafia @vhjvh70477682 @newboots1977 tl;dr — the reason child support exists isn’t for the sake of the children.
