There are also several variables that people have to take into consideration with the pay gap, such as Single women/men vs Single parents (men/women), and married couples. Single women and men tend to spend more than ones who have children.
But who are we kidding, statistics don't mean anything. :V

Oh America, you so crazy.

Re: "Women don't need to be payed equally because money is more important for men."
This reminds me of arguments made by dumbass college boys "hurr hurr Women don't need money cause we're the ones buying our girlfriends stuff. We're the ones that buy them drinks. If you want to make the same money then buy your own drinks"
It's the same idea that women only spend money of frivolous shit, that they're a bunch of fucking magpies that you have to catch and train to be a housewife. fuck that.

Re: "Women don't need to be payed equally because money is more important for men."
It is an incredibly condescending mentality. I have never met any woman like that.
Repealing the Equal Pay Act is incredibly stupid, and this sort of trend shows what happens when a country becomes complacent. You go so long with certain privileges you forget what it was like, back in the "good old days" before you had them, so the incentive to protect them decreases, and the incentive for change threatens keystone human rights protections like this.
I don't think the income gap is caused by sexism, however. I think it's caused by a lack of social mobility. If most of the top 1% of earners are men, and they control a disproportionately huge share of the nation's wealth, even if the middle classes and lower classes have closed the pay gap for all intents and purposes. How come we never see the "median income gap" instead of the "average income gap"?
The problem, in my opinion, is not that men are in a bro-club that gives each other patriarchal high-fives and raises and then bans women from the golf courses. The problem is that even though social attitudes towards gender have improved in the last 50 years, and most men see women as equals, our economy is very bad at creating opportunities for social advancement, and wealth tends to stay in the same hands. Wealth that was largely owned by upper-class men in the 1960s is still largely owned by men now, because it is self-preserving, and because many New Deal mechanisms to prevent the consolodation of wealth were repealed from the 80s onward, leading to the highest levels of inequality in this country since the 1920s.

Only Zeke or Fay have the power to convince me to do that and there are -special- conditions that have to be met first.

I have a vagina and can spit out someone's horrible existence who will then succeed then strike down on me with unequal rights- without women there wouldnt be men to discriminate against us. QUICK LADIES! PACK UP YOUR UNDERGARMENTS WE ARE GOING TO MARS!
Re: "Women don't need to be payed equally because money is more important for men."
Any serious study already uses the median when looking at wage gaps. Wikipedia actually has a remarkably sourced article on this for the US. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male%E2%80%93female_income_disparity_in_the_United _States) Whether or not an gap appears really depends, however, on what you decide to control for when comparing wages. If you do everything--demographics, education, experience, family status, occupation, and hours worked--then the wage gap largely disappears. However, it does not completely vanish and whatever remains is usually interpreted as being due to discrimination, as other possibilities have been eliminated. Of course, controlling for absolutely everything eliminates from consideration that discrimination could play a role in things like hours worked and occupational choice.

My theory is that men earn more because we're too dumb to know when to take a break from working :v

No. Because it's still American cheese - or, based on my experience of the stuff, "dairy-based cheese substitute". Saying Wisconsin cheese is the best cheese in the USA is like saying someone is the most handsome man in the hospital burns unit...
American cheese bears as much relationship to actual cheese as a packet of mixed nuts does to the Wisconsin legislature
