GoogleAI: According to current research, a significant portion of the gender pay gap is attributed to "choice" factors, meaning women often select career paths or make decisions that lead them into lower-paying occupations, such as choosing fields traditionally considered "female" or taking time off for family reasons, which can impact their career progression and earnings compared to men; however, experts emphasize that this is not the sole cause of the gender pay gap, and discrimination and systemic barriers also play a major role.

So, Zender - A you were incorrect. Not factual. You must therefore sterilize...

Secondly, a significant number of those career paths including (1) teaching, (2) Registered Dietitation/Nutritionist are low paying because they are historically female roles in society. It is definitely true that some part-time and full time work are chosen to allow family care. This is also true for some men. But it is not, contrary to your posit, the sole reason. Barriers and discrimination still exist.

"not the sole cause of the gender pay gap, and discrimination and systemic barriers also play a major role."

Ok. Show me the research that accounts for all the choices/variables and still shows a gap.

A note to those concerned about fascism, I'll just remind you that Biden tried to use OSHA to force 80 million Americans to get the COVID vaccine or lose their jobs.

It was people like Ben Shapiro 😲 that sued to stop that bullshit.

“Women’s work” and the gender pay gap: How discrimination, societal norms, and other forces affect women’s occupational choices—and their pay

Serious attempts to understand the gender wage gap should not include shifting the blame to women for not earning more. Rather, these attempts should examine where our economy provides unequal opportunities for women at every point of their education, training, and career choices.
www.epi.org www.epi.org

There are many reasons that the gender pay gap exists. Economists label these reasons as supply side (women’s choices) and demand side (employers’ choices), although it can be difficult to untangle the two or categorize them neatly as one or the other. Legal constraints, economic structures and gender norms have also played a role in shaping women’s preferences and choices. Sociologists may even argue that career preferences emerge in childhood from gender-specific socialization processes.

Right after you show us the data the controls for discrimination as a variable in order to isolate the impact of each specific choice/variable.

You pretty much lost credibility there. Children are required to vaccinate to go to school. There are many jobs that have health and vaccination requirements. Travel overseas can have vaccination requirements There was Supreme Court precedent (Jacobsen v. Massachusetts) that our handmaid tale, legislating from the bench SCrOTUS ignored. Not a mention in the opinion.

Frankly, the mandate should have been expanded to school children. Alternatively, the reward/bribe could have been elevated.

Ha ha, mother fucker, there's a transcript on the NYtimes website. From that transcript:

"
When we started talking the other day, we were joking a little bit about the threat level. And I think we said it was orange. After this weekend, where is it for you?

Maybe a slightly redder orange — blood orange."

And:

"Right. So look, this is the big problem. I would argue that currently we are in a constitutional crisis in the sense that there is one branch of government, the executive, that is not obeying the Constitution. And the question is: How do the other branches push back?"

"Now to be clear, I think the dereliction of constitutional duty on the part of Republicans in this Congress and in the previous Trump administration is above and beyond that. "

"So it’s really a question of previous administrations agreeing to be bound by the existing framework, if that makes sense. Whereas the Trump people have decided that they simply don’t care and are going to smash through it. And the problem is: That has a lot of follow-on effects."

"This is where it gets tricky. I think the question of what happens if a court says you can’t continue to dismantle this agency — and then the administration says: Try me — is kind of the big question. The short answer is: That’s what we call a constitutional crisis. And we don’t really know how it would play out. I think it is worth emphasizing that in the first Trump administration, I don’t know of any instance in which the administration flat-out ignored an order of a court.

Trump never said: I’m simply not going to obey a court order. He would post on Twitter about it and complain, but then his administration would comply. When we came into the second Trump administration, I was not actually that worried about him disobeying a court order precisely because of that.
I think there are aspects of the way this administration has governed in these first few weeks that make me more worried"

It’s the standard incel sea lion routine. You need evidence, they need a series of assumptions that feel correct to them.

I had hoped that these nitwits would have stopped chasing women out of STEM, but it appears that I’ll be dealing with low talent neckbeards in engineering for the rest of my life.

Being worried is not the same as an actual issue. Thus far, the Trump admin is obeying court orders and are NOT saying "We are going to ignore the courts and do what we want". IF that changes, we would have an actual constitutional crisis.

Listen to the actual podcast so you have full context, mother fucker.

Which women are being chased out of STEM vs simply choosing career paths that they are more interested in?

Do you think the lack of male elementary teachers means men are being "chased out of teaching" or are men just inherently not interested in dealing with young children?

There isn't even a threat of fascism. Trump & Co. are complying with court rulings. When they start saying the opposite, "We are going to ignore the court and do what we want", then we have a constitutional crisis.

Really, I have read that they are not.
