Why do you hate women, kagatob?

The best part about bar graphs is that they tell the entire story. All the details are right there staring you in the face.

Brilliant.

And to Orruar, do "we all sit around thinking" what any poster's opinion is on any topic? Of course not, but that doesn't stop anyone from posting on this forum. Don't be dense, a quoted reply is just as valid as an original one.

Not true. I have actually lost sleep due to obsessing over what Orruar's opinion on a subject is. He is the most important.

My favorite part of the graph is that it goes into great detail and breaks it all down by the types of degrees individuals have, how long they have been working at their perspective professions, their starting salaries and how many times they've gotten raises/promotions. But no, their general education level before even entering the workforce in the first place is king amirite?

After companies spend money training women, they leave. They get pregnant, and leave. Their health care costs soar, while the company is out a valuable employee they spent money on training. From a sociological perspective, this is a big reason women earn a little less. It kind of sucks, but it is somewhat validated. This will eventually change I think.

Your point being that, on average, you suspect that women study in programs that are less important or less capable of providing the same level of income?

You feel that the stats are skewed by liberal arts degrees and womens' studies scholars?

So you're suggesting that the grandfathered in, undeniably patriarchal male dominated upper echelons of industry skewing these statistics are NOT a sign of existing gender bias effecting the current female workforce?

The statistical flaw you're describing here effects both the Male and Female numbers, and thus - being subject to the same degree of error on each side - properly represents both sides relative to one another. You're correct in saying the numbers may not be saying much themselves, but the difference between the two sexes - given the same potential for error - certainly does.

Why do you hate women, Kagatob?

That's why they take an average.

Well Grader, how about you form a new tech startup and hire all of these women? Logic suggests that if you pay them a male wage, you'll get all of the best female programmers on the planet and destroy your competition. Then you can retire to a tropical island and sit on a beach drinking those fruity unbrella things.

Not a bad plan. But if we pay them a male wage, how long until they're growing dongs for themselves and wiping us out for good?

I'll have to think about this.
