I tried to register but it wouldn't let me. :cry:
Basically I would urge you to hammer away at the fact that the .73 cents on a dollar is based completey on the MEDIAN income of men and women. The feminist take this stat which by itself means very little and try to infer that this must be an indication of discrimination against women. This is total bullshit. Every reputable party who has investigated this has been very clear that the median income has absolutely nothing to do with discrimination. This of course doesn't stop the feminists from screeching their propaganda all over and whipping women into a victimhood frenzy. It's disgusting and intellectually dishonest. And so it goes.
The important variable here is that we all have choices about the work we do. Farrell's book is a great source to show that women tend to choose work that will allow them flexibilty and therefore a "better" life, that is one that they have more control over. Men otoh make choices that simply make more money. Choices like working dangerous professions, working longer hours, commuting farther differences, working more overtime, working more continuous years at the same job and on and on. One of the most brilliant things about the Farrell book is his pointing out that among non-married men and women there is no wage gap difference. In fact women earn more than men. It isn't until the men marry that they feel the heavy burden of responsibility to earn more money in order to provide for their families. Of course feminists know this very well but choose to not publicise it. :wink:
Farrell takes 25 choices that men and women make and shows that if you take these variables into account that wage discrimination does indeed appear. It shows that it is the men who are discriminated against!
The book is focused on showing women how to make more money by making difference choices but also is about showing men ways to make choices to help them move towards better lives.
