@Lamp,
Those aren't actually problems here... I imagine in Iran, they would be, hence why they should live there (so they can see their delusions come to life). Western feminists make up problems that don't exist.
The "wage gap" can be explained as follows:
1. The average woman has 1.8 children in the US.
a) It's usually the woman who stays home to raise the child.
b) This means women typically take 10-20 years either stopping work
to raise a child or taking a reduction in hours to raise a child.
c) This is time which would otherwise be spent gaining experience and hours, for which employers pay more. Fewer hours = less money. Fewer hours= less experience= less money.
2. Women have different work habits.
a) Women tend to gravitate toward different professions like child care and education.
b) Men tend to gravitate toward higher paying fields such as oil rig work, where the pay reflects the dangers of their jobs. More risk = more money/compensation
c) Men tend to be more competitive for work and for raises. More competitive= better pay. Freakonomics did a fake job application where one version of the job offered a pay fluctuation where applicants would have to compete for the higher starting wage based on performance; fewer women applied to this than to the control group.
3. Women have had a right to equal wages per hours/experience/employer&job as men since 1963 by law. If nearly every woman really was being paid unfairly, the resulting lawsuits would crash every, single business and the result would be unsustainable infrastructure.
In short, women earning less money on average is the result of individuals' choices, not the policies of employers.
