Also, the part of the paper you’ve cherry picked suits your narrative

Yes, I chose the part of the paper that supported my argument.

So what? Is it out of context? Nope.

The point you’ve made here seems to be ... if anyone wants to make money you have to give up your life to do so.

You literally sell your time (life) to get money. That is what a wage is. Want more money? Sell more time.

I'm not saying that is a bad or good thing. I'm stating straight facts.

It's missing context, so yes, it's a problem. With the entire context, there IS a wage gap. But you just cut that part out for the little anecdote that suits your needs. Nice. A+ I bet your teachers loved you.

Okay, next time a woman you know complains their male coworker makes more, go ahead and tell her to work more, I bet she'll just love that. Especially if you word it juuuust like that. "Sell more time."

Which I included in my post. No context missed, glad we cleared that up.

No, I'd tell her to lawyer up because the business better have a legal reason.
