Gender Pay Gap

[Husar]

Woman usually work less hours

*fewer

This whole farce is based around the utterly inaccurate assumption that every man and woman views their greatest achievement in life as maximising their earnings. Perhaps there is more to life...?

A lot of this revolves around children. Women both have them and often choose to put their careers second to their children.

How about the question is how much time do men and women get to spend with their children and see the gender gap there.

This is true and I thought about it.
The problem here is that earning less has other consequences, such as poverty, especially after retirement. And/or dependence on others, e.g. abusive men, to avoid poverty. When a grandma can't even afford to buy small gifts for her grandchildren, this "more to life" aspect begins to fade in the face of depression.

It's not that there isn't more to life, just that in capitalism, access to it often requires sufficient capital...
Like, imagine the men who don't see their children often could afford a better lawyer, might help as well.
