    Also, the part of the paper you’ve cherry picked suits your narrative

    Yes, I chose the part of the paper that supported my argument.

    So what? Is it out of context? Nope.

    The point you’ve made here seems to be … if anyone wants to make money you have to give up your life to do so.

    You literally sell your time (life) to get money. That is what a wage is. Want more money? Sell more time.

    I’m not saying that is a bad or good thing. I’m stating straight facts.

    In addition to being less likely than men to say they are currently the boss or a top manager at work, women are also more likely to say they wouldn’t want to be in this type of position in the future. More than four-in-ten employed women (46%) say this, compared with 37% of men. Similar shares of men (35%) and women (31%) say they are not currently the boss but would like to be one day. These patterns are similar among parents.

    The wage gap exists because women have reasonable expectations for work-life balance (one reason). Men are culturally expected to rise and grind.

    This isn’t the win that wage gap enthusiasts think it is. It’s essentially saying:

    Wanna get paid more? Be a corporate whore.

    Correct. Why would anyone go for a worse option for themselves?

    Edit: A benefit to one group does not mean a detriment to others. This is not a zero sum game.

    The funny thing is that the left could offer so many things for men:

    • address mental health issues
    • paternal leave / support for fatherhood
    • Less dangerous work
    • rehabilitation in prisons
    • a free lamborghini
    • address homelessness

    All of which are mostly men issues.
