cmv: Gender pay gap is not a real problem

There is no actual reason that we should expect the pay of both genders to be equal or even close. Both genders are not the same and have different capabilities and even different desires.

In a free market economy different demographics will not be the same in terms of economic achievements because people are simply different. 

Men usually work jobs that pay more. There are way more male engineers than there are female engineers and engineering is an example of a profession that pays highly. 

There are also way more female teachers in public schools than there are male teachers and this is a profession that does not pay as much

The reason men are more likely to become engineers than women and women are more likely to become teachers than men just boils down to personal desires

There is NO systemic discrimination against women 

There is also another aspect which is totally acceptable in a free society in which a man *might* get paid higher than a woman and that may simply be due to intimidation  and psychology. Men may be better at demanding a higher pay while women may be somewhat kinder or don't bargain as much or are more "agreeable" than men are, but this is probably far from the main reason.

So why do female dominated jobs pay so little? Why do we value the work of teachers and child care professionals so cheaply compared to programmers? Teachers are literally shaping the next generation of our society. Comparatively most programmers aren't doing anything that important.

We place incredibly low value on the work that women do because we're used to taking it for granted. That doesn't mean that it isn't skilled labor or hard work. It means that we've spent centuries taking it for granted.
