TSR girls, how do you feel about getting paid so much less than a man in the future?

Like these roles?

She isn't moaning about it now, is she? Or the time when she got paid more then the main guy in Hunger Games? Instead she was bitching about a couple of % in profit share in a movie where she was fifth lead.

I was thinking of broking as an example because it's my background. You are told "it's not for women" and often paid accordingly. Plus the men are aggressive with business, promotion and pay rises. They do what they cab get away with.

I'm not talking about this but you just said;

She was previously given a worse profit sharing deal than she thought she should have, she was unhappy and so she did something about it.

Then later, she ended up with a deal where she got paid more than her co stars and did not complain about how she was being given more money, crazy.

So your relevant point is?

Exactly, and this is what the gender wage gap is based on. Woman earning 0.77 to a mans dollar. It doesn't say 0.77 to a mans dollar per hour does it? No. It's the total earnings is what the gender wage gap and not the rates of pay. If it was the rates of pay then it will be debunked instantly because it is ILLEGAL to pay woman less than men per hour. Woman experience demotion or worse because they go from full time to part time and some companies just can not accommodate for the loss of hours. They clearly will tell you that your job is not guaranteed once you return back. This is not just for woman, this happens for men too or anybody that takes has a change in lifestyle that causes a loss of profit for the company

Exactly, many companies do break the rules which is why if they were paying woman less, in a capitalist economy they would therefore employ more woman. It doesn't take an economist to realize you can maximize profits by paying less.

Love the way its so obviously special pleading
Gay men earn less? Discrimination
Lesbians earn more? Lifestyle choices.
Woman earn less? Sexism
Men earn less? Lifestyle choices.

No it's not. The gender pay gap issue typically involves (as in this case) a statement saying that "X earns £ABC less on average than Y", where the £ABC is taken by dividing total earnings divided total people.

If the GPG discussion was about an individual being paid less than another individual in the same job for same number of hours, then the debate is settled. It would be illegal if that were to occur. It's not exactly anyone's fault if that silly sausage doesn't reporting the employer to the police. AND, indeed, if it were true, in a capitalist economy you'd get more employers paying for such a cheaper source of labour.

She got paid less in that movie because of her lower ''star power'' and the importance of her role, not because she was a woman. But she doesn't seem to mind when she gets paid far more than her male colleagues. Typical feminist hypocrisy.

A great example is ''Pretty woman'', when Gere got paid far more than Roberts because he was already a big star. Ten years later when they reunited for another movie together Roberts got paid millions more than him since she had become the bigger star.

Because big companies never do anything illegal do they? It's more men getting pay rises promotions etc. than difference in pay slips so is not illegal. Sorry I should've made myself clear I meant the controversy over the gpg not the actual definition of gpg.

Here is a simple one with simple explanations and looks pretty

If you want a real paper
http://humcap.uchicago.edu/RePEc/hka/wpaper/Gayle_Golan_Miller_2011_gender-differences-executive.pdf
There are many ACTUAL papers on this. Not just studys on the internet posted by some news article, if you have the time and are willing to read these papers with an open mind then you will find the truth. If you don't want to read these papers then you can keep believing the gender wage gap and keep fighting for something that is impossible to change unless woman change themselves.

As I said, the gender wage gap is the TOTAL earnings of men and the TOTAL earnings of woman and a simple division to find the average earnings of both. Men and woman get paid the same hourly. Go into any workplace and ask, doubt they'd tell you but if they did you will see.

Please post a link to one of these studies (from a reliable source) just so we can see that there are differences in studies. Otherwise people are right to assume you're talking rubbish. I just want to see one of these for myself as I only ever see people talk about them without being able to source them.

Used to what? Not having equal rights?

I don't like labels but I do know that women should have equal rights to men with pay being included, obv.

Being real, who's going to 'mind' earning more?! Especially when, as you 2 exceptional examples have not demonstrated, that there is a industry wide problem that has it's foundation in the notion that women are less enjoyable to watch on the screen.

I've read the first one (will read the second one later but don't have time atm) and totally agree with everything they're saying- how can I not its the ons - I know that most of it is lifestyle choices and thats what I said to begin with when saying I was more worried about getting the actual job than the pay because it's not just women's faults it the systems fault and you can't just blame women for finding it hard to dig into industries which have been all male for centuries women need to do more but so do men we should be working together on this.

The UK has one of the highest gender gaps in Europe even though it's been almost half a century since the Equal Pay Act was introduced.

£300,000 less for being a woman?!


Society is ****ed. Completely ****ed.

Stop provoking people and trying to stir up an argument, men do more work on average, so they get paid more. Nothing more to it.

Not for being a woman.



This.

1. Gender pay gap is about people in the same jobs doing the same hours so most of the above information is irrelevant.
