Women just naturally take worse paying jobs. It's in our nature.

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

The way things are set up, the more important and vital something is to the actual functioning of society, the less it is paid. The reverse of that is the more parasitic or net-negative the job is, the better paid.
Hedge fund managers are a massive net negative and are paid the most. 
And mothers are arguably the greatest net positive and that’s unpaid.
No wonder chuds want there to be more mothers, regardless of material conditions and society's support or lack thereof... more unpaid labor.

this is because while women do be shopping they instinctually know they must be shopping using their husband's (who they show infinite deference to as is the natural order of humanity) money.
This has the same energy as Paul Krugman saying inflation doesn't exist if you simply ignore the cost of food, clothing, shelter, fuel, utilities, and transportation.
I still don't know what the fuck is left to Paul Krugman after that.

Did you ever consider... having a phone is greater luxury than being a medieval king? 
Having all the knowledge of the world in my pocket, so that I know that I am well and truly fucked. Truly a blessing from m'lord.

I'm gonna keep myself warm with the thought that peasants didn't know the luxury of flavor blasted cool ranch doritos.
They couldn't even imagine mountains of plastic trash that sticks around decades after its manufacture, all in the shape of teenage mutant ninja turtles that love pizza.
Exactly my thought. You're supposed to adjust for irrelevant variables.
Once you do the very scientific work of simply ignoring all variables that contribute to the gender gap, it no longer exists!
The only variable they care about is "ARE THE FEEEEMALES DOING THIS WORK?" and then making sure they're paid less so they can try to pressure the feeemale into being their unpaid mommy bangmaid helpmeet. 
He turned Twitter into a fascist echo chamber and now he is completely unaware of how bad it looks when replies "!!" to a lukewarm gender pay gap penalty that is probably never ever gonna materialise.
It's a drop of piss in an ocean of cryptofascist piss at this point, even to him. It's just the background hum of the self-congratulatory echo chamber he's bought for himself.
the data is clear: boys go to college to get more knowledge, girls go to jupiter to get more stupider
Men are the logical and rational members of the species 
which is why they have measured and nonemotional responses when they see a feeemale in their treats that doesn't look like a cartoon porn character.
Counterfactual: In a free marketplace of ideas, some boys will choose to go to Mars to get more bars.

If you control for the fact that we have labeled specific jobs for women and have systematically denigrated and underpaid women for those jobs, you can clearly see that women just happen to take lower paying jobs and thus there is no pay gap! I'm very smart.
"...particularly the most important variable: how much I personally assume and/or want this to be true."
Men are the logical rational ones that have zero emotional problems ever ever ever, and we're not superstitious either. I know this because MBTI tests show me as a solid INTJ. 
If businesses could pay women less to do the same job they would preferentially hire women and the pay gap would disappear.
Yes I think perfectly rational actors is a valid assumption to base my whole field of study on why do you ask?
A significant portion of the pay gap is that women's work is underpaid, and men over represent in bullshit overpaid jobs.

What could a handjob cost, one horse?

The gender pay gap doesn't exist but also I think it would be very bad if there were a law requiring it to not exist.
The gender pay gap doesn’t exist, but if it does it’s a good thing
Why is that the flow and pattern of so much fascist shit? "It didn't happen; if it did, it didn't go far enough/it should happen."

In Brazil companies have to report the average and median of salaries of employees, by position, and self reported race and gender. I'm the BI analyst on the company I work for and HR asked me for a python script to do that, I was hoping they slip up and send me the complete salary company information but their smart asses send me the salary column with just 100 for everyone.

Once again, gender-based pay discrimination is already against the law in many European countries. Obviously doesn't fully address the problem, but works fine, not a huge deal.
I went looking for this plan, because I wondered if the fine would actually be more than the gaps in question. News articles from 2019 linked to her website, but she's since removed it. Her error message:
