@SocialWorkerLSW, you just repeated your prior claim regarding the pay gap without producing any supportive evidence to back up your claim after your claim has been refuted with evidence from left-leaning, centrist, and governmental sources.
For someone with a professional degree, @SocialWorkerLSW, you are awful terrible at reading comprehension. You also seem to not have figured out how to make a thread on Twitter. Are you sure you have a high school diploma? You're providing pretty convincing evidence to doubt it.
@SocialWorkerLSW You claim that in a 40-year career, women make about $400,000 less than men (archive.ph/KiOAH). As noted herein(
), over that same 40-year period, per the @BLS_gov, men would work over 353 days more than the women on average (bls.gov/news.release/a…).
@SocialWorkerLSW@BLS_gov To back up your statement, @SocialWorkerLSW, you cite Joe Biden's campaign website (joebiden.com/womens-agenda/). As some purportedly college-educated, you shouldn't be getting your information from campaign websites. That is propaganda and you should know better.
), "once 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…).
@SocialWorkerLSW@BLS_gov@nwlc It is also worth noting that per the @IPPR, 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).
). I already brought up some of the data that shows that the reason why women are the primary breadwinners is they choose to be (by divorcing their husbands and not for abuse).
@SocialWorkerLSW@BLS_gov@nwlc@IPPR@pewresearch@TIME@usnews@PolitiFact@PunditFact "[W]hen the wife earns more than the husband, the likelihood of divorce increases by about 6[%]… [and s]ince 12[%] of couples in the sample get divorced, this … implies that having the wife earn more than the husband increases the likelihood of divorce by 50[%]" (supra, p. 25).
), studies suggest that heterosexual women divorce when their husband's earnings do not meet the women's financial expectations and have nothing to do with the reasons you referenced (archive.ph/dqn2G).
@SocialWorkerLSW@BLS_gov@nwlc@IPPR@pewresearch@TIME@usnews@PolitiFact@PunditFact "Research showing that women commit high rates of intimate partner violence … against men has been controversial because [intimate partner violence] is typically framed as caused by the patriarchal construction of society and men’s domination over women" (Supra, p. 36).

@SocialWorkerLSW@BLS_gov@nwlc@IPPR@pewresearch@TIME@usnews@PolitiFact@PunditFact The "study shows the existence of male victims of female-perpetrated [intimate terrorism]. These men sustained very high rates and frequencies of psychological, sexual, and physical [intimate partner violence], injuries, and controlling behaviours" (Supra, p. 54).
@SocialWorkerLSW@BLS_gov@nwlc@IPPR@pewresearch@TIME@usnews@PolitiFact@PunditFact This study found "that among relationships with nonreciprocal violence, women were the perpetrators in a majority of cases, regardless of participant gender… [and] …both men and women reported a larger proportion of nonreciprocal violence perpetrated by women…" (Supra, 944).
@SocialWorkerLSW@BLS_gov@nwlc@IPPR@pewresearch@TIME@usnews@PolitiFact@PunditFact "Lower-bound estimates were calculated by counting only those violent behaviors that both partners reported or agreed on. Upper-bound estimates were formed by counting violent occurrences that either partner reported, whether corroborated or not" (supra, pp. 1703–1704).
@SocialWorkerLSW@Oneiorosgrip@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).
@Mephitus_Skunk@Yoginde87100660 However, "[w]hen all marriage cohorts are pooled, wives’ full-time employment is positively and statistically significantly associated with the risk of divorce" (asanet.org/sites/default/…, p. 716).

@caitskirby Part of the issue is there are two disabled communities that have vastly different needs (but they do overlap creating confusion).
The one I represent professionally has work-preclusive impairments; the other community is trying to not be discriminated against in the workplace.
@caitskirby The one trying to get into the workplace without being discriminated against pushes for "differently-abled," "handicapable," and so on as "disabled" implies they can't do the work that they want to have the opportunity to do (and they can actually do with little accommodation).
@caitskirby Those with work-preclusive disabilities are actively harmed by this can-do rhetoric because politicians and the public-at-large haven't figured out that there are 2 very different though slightly overlapping disabled populations.
