You probably have. Itâs scientific fact. Identical resumes, different name. The one with the manâs name not only gets more interviews also gets more money.
And another case of a man telling women how they should feel is kinda the point of international womenâs day.

Its still present in this day regarding pay gaps:
I think it goes both ways. International Womenâs Day is a good way of highlighting the plight of women in countries such as India and Saudi Arabia. However, women who live in the west (at least here) and whinge that they have no equal opportunity are kidding themselves. I understand statistics often say women are paid less, but those statistics often donât account for women being mothers, thus losing substantial time away from âcareer progression.â The other thing I find interesting is that if people really could get away with paying women less, why would anyone hire men?
I work in a place where my boss is a woman, and the next level of management down have about 3/4 as women also.

The fact that itâs the mother that is the primary caregiver by default is another issue! And women lacking in management positions because of it is inequality. Plus traditional female dominated fields are paid less, but why is this? Are these careers less important or difficult the traditional âmenâsâ work. I work in a totally female dominated field but still miss out because I have a child. Most of the female managers donât have kids and thatâs a choice women often have to make. Career or kids. Men NEVER have to make that choice. Having kids benefits men in the workplace and disadvantages women.
Yes we have it much better then women in other countries as thereâs no outright sexism, but itâs there subtly EVERYWHERE. In work, in the media, in sport, in not being able to walk on the streets alone without feeling unsafe, in victim blaming. Just because itâs not outright doesnât mean we should stop fighting.

Gender pay gap exists in starting wages for graduates as well as over the work life. Its real and its â â â â . I wonât argue your other points but that one is demonstrably false.
Itâs also calculated for equivalent full time roles, doesnât take into account part time work. It does however highlight that there are more men in senior positions because many workplaces are inflexible about making these part time.
You donât even need any of those conditions though.
Equal role, less pay for women (generalisation)
