- 0:14but they simply repeat this enough women
- 0:18are only earned 80 cents on the dollar
- 0:20and leave it at that
- 0:21that's what our culture wants is
- 0:22something they can grab in a kernel of
- 0:24information so they can feel like that
- 0:26they understand something and they're
- 0:28really being misled a lot and she said
- 0:39no it is the same amount of experience
- 0:42the same amount of hours the same jobs
- 0:45the same ages how much vacation time
- 0:47they take off how much time they spend
- 0:50at home with their family it's
- 0:51completely equal and men make more okay
- 0:54what maybe I said yep yeah okay so let's
- 0:57look at the wage gap myth for a moment
- 0:58when it when I did the research for why
- 1:01men earn more to find out whether that
- 1:03what age gap in fact was a myth I
- 1:05discovered that there are 25 work life
- 1:08choices that men and women make that are
- 1:10different each of those work life
- 1:12choices leads to men earning more money
- 1:14and each of those work life choices
- 1:16leads on average to women having more
- 1:20balanced lives usually a person having a
- 1:23more balanced life has a better life and
- 1:26so in many respects just to breathe to
- 1:29be brief about it men should really
- 1:32being trippy be trained to learn from
- 1:34women how to have more balanced lives
- 1:37the road to high pay is a toll road
- 1:40earning more money is not about
- 1:43fulfillment earning more money is
- 1:45usually about working more hours working
- 1:48at more hazardous jobs what the
- 1:50feminists and what the Bureau of Labor
- 1:52Statistics hasn't controlled for is the
- 1:54same type of sub specializations and
- 1:57years worked and then hours work so let
- 2:00me explain why that is not the case so
- 2:02for example you do have statistics
- 2:05saying doctors come in comparing doctors
- 2:08to doctors that seems like the same job
- 2:10being compared to each other
- 2:12when you look more closely at the US
- 2:14Bureau of Labor Statistics data you find
- 2:16that doctors are all doctors and that
- 2:19men are more likely to be lets say
- 2:21cardiologists or surgeons women are more
- 2:24likely to be general practitioners and
- 2:26general practitioners almost always make
- 2:29less than matter of being male or female
- 2:30then surgeons or cardiologists so you
- 2:33really have to compare cardiologist to
- 2:35cardiologists or but then even within
- 2:37Carly cardiology some specializations
- 2:40make more than other specializations so
- 2:43when you take the cardiology down to and
- 2:46compare cardiologist to cardiologist the
- 2:48wage gap reduce is reduced very
- 2:50significantly when you compare
- 2:52cardiologists to cardiologists in a
- 2:55certain specialty or a nurse to a nurse
- 2:57not just in general male nurses lower
- 3:00and more but you compare nurse
- 3:02anesthetist
- 3:04to nurse anesthetist and then you find
- 3:07that the nurse anesthetists make about
- 3:09the same as each other but still the men
- 3:11make slightly more why because they've
- 3:14averaged been working more years at that
- 3:16and on average they're working more
- 3:19hours if I'm gonna say oh wait a minute
- 3:22we took comparing full-time men with
- 3:23full-time women correct full-time though
- 3:26is defined as 35 hours per week or more
- 3:29you have to define within full-time what
- 3:33what 35 or 45 hours a week is worth men
- 3:37are far more likely to work more hours
- 3:39full-time than women are full time but
- 3:42feminists summarize that as all being
- 3:44equal hours so what's the difference
- 3:46between a person working 34 hours of a
- 3:49week versus 44 it is double the pay for
- 3:5344 verses 34 hours a week and so you
- 3:56have to pay you have to not just say
- 3:58full-time versus full-time as equal
- 3:59hours you have to look at the number of
- 4:01hours you have to look at the
- 4:03willingness to move to different
- 4:05locations upon demand
- 4:07when a woman is far more likely to be
- 4:10home with children it is not that women
- 4:12work less they work as much as men do
- 4:15but they divide their labor tweek
- 4:17between children and the workplace to a
- 4:20much greater degree so the brief way of
- 4:23understanding the pay gap is to
- 4:25understand that there is not a gap
- 4:28between men and women's pay there is a
- 4:31gap between mothers and fathers pet when
- 4:35do you get outside of mothers and
- 4:36fathers for example you have women who
- 4:39have never been married and never had
- 4:41children and men who have never been
- 4:43married and never had children control
- 4:46for education control for the amount of
- 4:49years they've been in the workplace and
- 4:50the women out earned the men a hundred
- 4:55and seventeen percent to a hundred
- 4:57percent 70 percent more earned by the
- 5:00women when there is a married with
- 5:04children male and female the woman is
- 5:08far more likely to put more hours into
- 5:11the work to the home and even if she's
- 5:14working full-time she's likely she may
- 5:16have been a fifty-five hour a week
- 5:17working woman before she's likely to cut
- 5:20back to just above 35 hours a week still
- 5:22be called full-time but she's now
- 5:25because she's now her she's still
- 5:27working as hard probably harder than
- 5:29ever before but she's working to make
- 5:31sure she's close to home therefore she
- 5:33can't commute into the city as easily
- 5:35she's making sure she's home on time for
- 5:38the children
- 5:38she's coordinating during the day with
- 5:42other activities and jump and juggling
- 5:44she is constantly working but she's but
- 5:48she's now dividing her labor between the
- 5:51home and the office the degree to which
- 5:54the woman is home if she's home working
- 5:56full time the man is working much more
- 5:59outside the home and therefore his
- 6:01income is going up if she's working if
- 6:04she if the woman is working full-time
- 6:06the woman the man's income doesn't go up
- 6:09nearly as much because the man puts more
- 6:11time into the home so when men and women
- 6:15are married with children they figure
- 6:19out a system that on in general leads to
- 6:22the father
- 6:23earning more money outside
- 6:25home and the women juggling more between
- 6:28the home in the office we all know this
- 6:30but feminists have taken what we see all
- 6:35around us all the time with the very
- 6:37sister and brothers of the feminists or
- 6:39speaking and they and they deny all of
- 6:43that to to keep the victim power of
- 6:46women earn less than men for the same
- 6:48work
- 6:49there are so many other dimensions of
- 6:51this that is that I've never mentioned
- 6:53by feminists you never hear feminists
- 6:54say well on an average even men with
- 6:58less education earn more is it true
- 7:02yes it is on average the man with less
- 7:04education is more likely to be working
- 7:07as a truck driver or a garbage collector
- 7:09where where he gets up at 3:00 or 4:00
- 7:12in the morning where he may work 60 70
- 7:15hours a week where he may subject
- 7:17himself to physical hazards because
- 7:19without skills that's what he feels he
- 7:22needs to do to earn money for the family
- 7:25whereas a woman likely to be collecting
- 7:27garbage working sewers working
- 7:29construction welding not as often
- 7:31usually working at Nordstrom's working
- 7:33at a supermarket working at a steady job
- 7:36that she can control maybe teaching
- 7:39where she can control it to a greater
- 7:41degree but because it's either more
- 7:42fulfilling or it's less likely to be a
- 7:44psychological take home job she's paid
- 7:47less because the more fulfilling the
- 7:50work is like teaching the more likely it
- 7:53is to be paid less the reason it's like
- 7:55that it be paid less is not because
- 7:57women are doing it but because it is
- 7:59more fulfilling and when things are
- 8:02fulfilling more people compete to do
- 8:04things that are fulfilling so the pay
- 8:06goes down the more people are competing
- 8:07to do it and so every single nuance that
- 8:11I've just spoken of zero of those
- 8:13nuances is in the public it's in the
- 8:17public consciousness and and so
- 8:20therefore by repeating the
- 8:22discrimination thing what we're teaching
- 8:24our daughters to do ironically is to
- 8:27become more traditional and less free
- 8:30let's look at that for
- 8:31let's say a husband and a wife are
- 8:33married and they just they just have
- 8:35children and so if they believe that the
- 8:38world discriminates against women the
- 8:40woman is more likely to make a choice of
- 8:42staying home and being with because the
- 8:45man can earn more of being outside of
- 8:47the home so why not let him earn more
- 8:48because once you have children what do
- 8:50you care about how you what's most cost
- 8:52better than what's supposed to cost
- 8:54beneficial so you make a traditional
- 8:56decision about having the man work
- 8:59outside of the home if you think the
- 9:01man's got to earn more out working
- 9:02outside of the home if you teach women
- 9:05the truth which is that that a woman who
- 9:08focuses on in the on the workplace when
- 9:11there's children and the man is home
- 9:13taking care of the children that woman
- 9:15out earns her male counterpart out earns
- 9:19you say I say yes studies by UCLA and
- 9:24corn fairy show that women are promoted
- 9:28to executive levels vice-president are
- 9:31above at the fortune 100 companies
- 9:35before the age of 30 and much greater
- 9:38percentages than men are before the age
- 9:41of 30 promoted to vice-president or
- 9:43above at fortune 100 companies no one
- 9:46knows this because we've been focusing
- 9:48our binoculars on the issue of
- 9:51discrimination against women when a
- 9:53woman knows something like what I just
- 9:55said and checks it out the sees that
- 9:57it's valid the wife is more likely to
- 10:00say maybe I should be the primary
- 10:01breadwinner and when people know that
- 10:04children raised predominantly by dads do
- 10:07extremely well I don't mean just well I
- 10:10mean extremely well based depending on
- 10:13their demographic but because one and
- 10:15one of the reasons is that children
- 10:17raised by dads have such good boundary
- 10:19enforcement and so on but the mother
- 10:21never leaves children so a child raised
- 10:24by a dad is not deserted by mom whereas
- 10:28a child raised by mom can be deserted by
- 10:31a dad because the father won't get
- 10:32overly caught up in the workplace come
- 10:34home too late not come to the recital
- 10:36sometime and so on
- 10:37mothers don't usually do that there
- 10:39more likely to make sure that they come
- 10:41home and adequate amount of attention in
- 10:43addition to the attention that their
- 10:45dads are so ironically the feminists are
- 10:48making by creating victim power the
- 10:50feminists are encouraging unconsciously
- 10:53and unwittingly a much more conservative
- 10:56and limited flexibility between men and
- 10:58women yes that's exactly what I gather
- 11:02is if you're telling women that they
- 11:03they are earning less then they're more
- 11:07likely to stay at home lives not be the
- 11:09breadwinner you're you're angry until
- 11:11you make your choice as husband and
- 11:14mother and father to do what's best for
- 11:16the family and at that point is you get
- 11:19the feminist information and you go back
- 11:22to a traditional role because that seems
- 11:23to work best and that's really defeating
- 11:26that defeats women it defeats men and it
- 11:28defeats the benefits of the children and
- 11:30of course going back to the traditional
- 11:32role also provides feminists with more
- 11:34fodder to perpetuate the idea that this
- 11:37is a matter of patriarchal oppression of
- 11:40women so it's a cycle that repeats
- 11:42itself that's being exploited by
- 11:45ideologues rather than us coming
- 11:47together as a society and just
- 11:49understanding what the issues are and
- 11:51finding solutions to them and every
- 11:56single thing that I'm saying to you has
- 11:58cost me a fortune to say this basically
- 12:01it took me from earning a fortune
- 12:03speaking on behalf of women's issues -
- 12:05at one point being very minimal and the
- 12:08amount of income before I started to
- 12:10recover again but it is really a if
- 12:15somebody in a university speaks the way
- 12:19I'm speaking they are quickly out of
- 12:22that university if they're in the if
- 12:24they're in engineering maybe not but if
- 12:26they're in the Social Sciences they
- 12:27cannot survive in a university I'm not
- 12:30just talking about the US and Canada I'm
- 12:31talking about Australia England New
- 12:34Zealand Germany virtually every
- 12:37industrialized developed country Japan
- 12:41you cannot say what I'm saying and
- 12:43survive in a university
