Funny but inaccurate. As Larry Elder pointed out, if women were really paid less, a factory owner would fire all his $20/hr men, hire $14/hr women and get to watch women all day!

Here's a good joke. Apparently one of Bill Clinton's favorites. A guy wearing a ski mask walks into a sperm bank with a gun and tells the lady working behind the front desk to open the vault. The lady pleaded with him, told him he must be confused because this was a sperm bank, not a real bank. But the man didn't let up, so she complied.

Inside the vault, he ordered her at gunpoint to drink a test tube of sperm. So she does. Then he holds the gun to her head and orders her to drink another. So she pops open another tube and downs it. Finally he orders her to do it one more time, and she does. After that he asks her, "How do you feel?" She replied, "I feel fine, I guess."

The man pulls off his mask revealing himself to be her husband and says, "See, it's not so bad, is it?"

Completely retarded cartoon.

Women get paid less doing the SAME job, not doing a lesser job as shown in this skewed and retarded drawing.

Would you change your mind if you saw data going the other way?

The data I've seen is that adjusting for confounding factors like diversity in assertiveness levels, negotiation skill, and IQ removes the effect.

I'm not saying that's the final data, but I'm doing something truly extraordinary which advocates aren't and never will in the future: saying there should be an intellectually honest discussion about all the data, regardless of where it goes.

Job performance should be the only thing that matters with pay. I thought you were all about merit.

Negotiation skill and knowing how to make people like you are part of performance in a free market. How to Win Friends and Influence People was published in 1936, so anyone who hasn't read it can blame themselves and the sub-culture they grew up in. It's not a coincidence that Hollywood's sometimes-highest paid actor is so smart about proactivity and likability.

If pay discrimination was really the case, wouldn't even modestly skilled business administrators fire all non-discriminated workers to cut down on their largest expense, labor costs?
