Gender pay gap

The Gender pay gap is the average difference between the pay of men and women. In the US, the non-adjusted average woman's annual salary is 79–83% of the average man's salary, compared to 95–99% for the adjusted average salary (the adjusted values represent how much women and men make for the same work, while the non-adjusted values represent how much the average man and woman make in total).

It's used by "Social Justice Warriors" trying to imply that women still face discrimination in the work force, which is certainly not true and even the opposite nowadays in the west.

Reasons

• Women choose less lucrative and less brain-demanding branches to work in.
• Women work less, and if they work, they'll more likely have a part-time job.
• Studies have shown that women are less likely to negotiate salaries or ask for raises compared to men, which can lead to lower starting salaries and slower wage growth over time.
• Men tend to work longer hours on average, including more overtime.

Women still get favored in the work force (Women-are-wonderful effect)

Genereally speaking, due to women's mental and physical limitations, they're expected to do less, going as far as "lazy girl jobs" getting created.

A study "suprisingly" found that women are favored for jobs in stem.
