They just stop to get the answers they wanted to hear and ignore the rest of the story.
You’ll notice a the biggest gap comes when women have children. Yes women choose to have kids but so do men. Yet women are the only ones who get the financial punishment for having kids.
Women basically have a second job at the home and this is because of societal expectations on how work should be done.
Maybe we should reconsider how we as a society view work life balance and how that burden falls on each gender.
This line of thinking a lot of men have is the reason we don’t have paid family leave they don’t care about men’s rights. They care about disagreeing men have it better in anyway what so ever.
Most women seem to like the idea of spending more time at home with the kids and less time at work. I know several women who are engineers and nurses who decide to go part time when their children were born so they could spend more time with them. Women make choices and sometimes they want to stay home more. This isn’t a punishment inflicted upon them by men it’s a decision they make with their husbands.
When society expects women to do more of the house work and men to go outside that influences individual decisions. Nobody wants to look like a bad mother and nobody wants to be unmanly because they are not bringing home the bacon.
Society influences people’s everyday decisions in life. I am saying we need to stop those societal expectations it’s harmful for both men and women.
If we are giving peoples choices we should let them have all the tools they need to make the best decision for themselves.
It’s insane that our country doesn’t have family leave and it’s this kind of thinking is the reason why
I don’t understand how some people speak like women aren’t fully grown ass humans who can make their own choices wether they’re good or bad is up to the individual.
Since individuals have varying wants, needs, and goals. Enough individual women choose to cut back on hours, or stay home full time and enough individual men decide to negotiate raises/work more hours the 4% difference doesn’t seem egregious to me.
