Why Men Earn More 3 – The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap
This is a talk given my Dr. Warren Farrel at the Cato (www.cato.org) institute on Tuesday, February 1, 2005 entitled:
Why Men Earn More
The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gapand What Women Can Do About It
A presentation from his book of the same name

Cato offers the real video stream of the lecture I have captured here on this events page:

Synopsis:
Warren Farrell, the only man to have been elected three times to the National Organization for Womens New York board of directors, is the author of such books as The Myth of Male Power and Why Men Are the Way They Are. In his new book, he argues that women earn less than men on average not because they are discriminated against, but because they have made lifestyle choices that affect their ability to earn. Why Men Earn More argues that although discrimination sometimes plays a part, both men and women unconsciously make trade-offs that affect how much they earn. Farrell clearly defines the 25 different workplace choices that affect incomes–including putting in more hours at work, taking riskier jobs or more hazardous assignments, being willing to change location, and training for technical jobs that involve less people contact–and provides readers with specific, research-supported ways for women to earn higher pay.

@KevinSolway you so right

If men were paid …
If men were paid for satisfying women’s sexual needs, and mowing the lawn, then the pay gap would increase again!

why …
@prschuster
why would you get paid for something you use your pay for? getting paid for taking care of children is just illogical.
July 13th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
It seems that the …
It seems that the biggest determinant here is that women are more likely to focus on family than on career compared to men. If people were paid for raising children, then the pay gap might be closed, but that’s not how the economy works. That’s just my impression from what I’ve heard.

Ir work as management in a CVS pharmacy. I get payed more than most of the females in the area with the same position. Want to know why?
Because I work all the night shifts, for more than 60 hours a week.
I get payed more than my female co-workers because we WORK HARDER.
Feminists always overlook that someone can get payed more than another in the same field if they work harder at it than the others.
go figure.

Every job I’ve ever …
Every job I’ve ever had, I’m a man, has paid the same to the women doing the same job. Only in the top 5% is there some disparity. Pay is based on the difficulty of the field. I have worked as a nurse and been severely discriminated by the female nurses.
July 13th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
by that logic …
by that logic janitors should be paid as much as ceo’s.. the question isn’t does pay discrimination exist. the question is WHY someone’s pay is discriminated against. this shows that gender is not the predominant reason for pay discrimination.

I am also clarifying my position.
So it seems we both now have a clearer position!

I’m not having a go at you, I am merely clarifying my position for all to see.

To further clarify: the reason for my comment was to tell pinegrove that in my opinion he made a good comment. That is all.
July 13th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Yes I know you hate …
Yes I know you hate comment ratings. My comment was not meant as a criticism. I think you have good reasons for not liking them.
In my opinion they are not so bad, but I understand your thinking.

B.T.W. An institution like Feministing may say they support freedom of speech (because that is mainly to do with the government), but they do not value the exchange of ideas since they filter peoples feedback and ban opposing views under the excuse of them being trolls.
July 13th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
And as someone who …
And as someone who allows video comments automatically, allows comments automatically, allows all comments to be seen equally, answers people regularly and cannot remember when I last banned someone. Youd better believe it when I say that I value free speech and the exchange of ideas.
July 13th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
I despise comment …
I despise comment rating. More than anything else they are abused and used to censor opinions that go against the majority supporters of a video.
They are wrong and should be removed from youtube.

I was going to thumbs up your comment, but it has been disabled!

“never married women are winners and never married men are losers” tells the feminist story in a NUTshell.
