ah yes because you're backing up everything you say with sources, and not just spouting shit
this is the first time you've tried to cite something to back yourself up, and the thing you chose to cite agrees with me.
"most of the raw earnings differential": you know that "most" doesn't mean "all", right?
so what we have here is you saying something that's wrong, me telling you it's wrong, you proving to both of us that it's wrong, and then you complaining that i'm telling you it's wrong
either you're utterly inept enough to get burden of proof completely ass-backwards, or you're deliberately misinterpreting it here because you're arguing in bad faith
obviously i wouldn't accuse you of being utterly inept because it would be rude so i would ask that you conduct yourself in a manner befitting the high standards set by the rest of your "wage gap is a myth" folks
to clarify: you're making the claim that women are genetically predisposed to behave in a certain way, so it's you who gets to back that up
i'm pretty sure i know the exact study you're citing (well not citing, vaguely gesturing towards) which is why i'm so confident that it's nonsense
if it's the one i'm thinking of, they completely misuse a statistical indicator so badly that they literally invert the trend in their data
i'll make this really simple for you. you need to make a convincing case that either:
otherwise, we've just demonstrated systemic sexism present in the wage gap
(i know you won't reply to this because you know that you can't make that convincing case; this is more for the benefit of future viewers)
