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

Feminine jobs are paid less. That's what the statistics show. I hate how the media presents it. From a marxist perspective, the correct framing is that feminine jobs are paid less, which is directly supported by the data. It seems like bourgeois media are intentionally warping the framing to make it sound like women are paid less for the exact same title and position as men, which isn't what the data shows. They are equivalent in education level, but not title or role or job. Garbage truck drivers and hair dressers are paid differently because society does not value feminine jobs as much as masculine jobs (and also capitalism has more leverage and takes more advantage of feminine labor).
The synthesis of the bourgeois media framing is that recruiters and employers are being too ruthless when they are hiring women, or women are not negotiating hard enough on the job hunt, when the actual problem is that women without a degree make 75% of what a man without a degree makes, and it's the same for higher education levels. Engineers and other stem jobs make more than the careers that are typically favored by feminine people.
It's a great marxist teaching moment I think, because the real problem is labor class and capitalist oppression, as usual.

If there is no pay gap than the proposed policy wouldn't do anything, so why do they care?
