This week, the gender pay gap statistics for 2007 will be published and the figures will undoubtedly show that men overall get paid more than women.
This will lead to the annual siren call in the media from feminist fundamentalists (Minister for Women, Shadow Minister for Women, Commission for Equality and Human Rights, Fawcett Society etc) whose misuse of the figures would shame a GCSE statistics student.
They will harangue every man in the country because they will say it is all down to sexual discrimination without any proof. They will then call for more rights for women which not only is against the ethos of equality but also will discriminate against men.
As part of the gender pay gap week, this site will confront and publish material that exposes the myths of these feminist fundamentalists.
American Warren Pharrell, Ph.D. has exposed the lies and myths of feminists in his book 'Why Men Earn More" (link).
You can also watch a classic intervew here:-
The rally annoying thing about this is the Equal Opportunities Commission's various research reports on this are very clear: The main issue is the different jobs men and women do. Women predominate in a few sectors(where they are usually the majority) A lot of this has little to do with anything other than people choosing work they want to do. In effect there is no difference in young people's pay. The differences appear once women choose to leave work to be mothers. With the high price of housing i'm sure fewer will do this in future and the "gap" will close as most women work over the same period and pattern as men.
