It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

When I jumped into the data it was the data behind the 75% of every one dollar study from about 8 years ago, which was a broad look across all employment and not specific to stem. I think it's fair to say maybe the data I'm referencing is outdated now and I shouldn't have assumed it stayed the same or was the same in every labor sector.
I know there are still differences in the same exact title/role/job that favor men, but at the time of the data in the 75% of every dollar study the framing was based on data that compared garbage truck drivers with hair stylists and that seemed very dishonest to me, especially when there's such a great marxist framing that could have been used instead.
That's true, women are paid less on average than men. I was just surprised that they compared such completely different jobs in order to get to that 75% for every dollar figure in that study. I had assumed they were the same jobs from the way the results of the data was framed. I thought it was interesting that the data was framed in that way, and thought maybe they did that because they know capitalism will never be able to resolve the difference in pay between a hair stylist and a garbage man so why shine a light on something that goes against their class interests.
