Are women still oppressed???

Relatively true my friend.
However oppression of women is all over the world. Women don't even have equal pay in the UK.

Women are much more likely than men to take leave to care for a baby. Women are much less likely than men to work overtime, and less likely to push themselves into prominent corporate positions. Companies will obviously be favoring the worker who works the longer hours and takes less paid leave. This is why, on average, men earn more than women. The problem comes when women and men are putting in the same hours and women receive significantly less than their male peers. In fact, women are much more likely to be paid a higher salary than men if they persist in their work and do not have children or take leave. The cases of women working the same time as men being paid significantly less than their male peers is miniscule, and is obviously subject to other variables I haven't mentioned.

Check the facts. Men earn more. My teacher told me herself that the male teachers in the department earn more than the female teachers. If you were to have a male and female candidate with the same exp, grades etc. the facts state men earn more.

So the fact that "your teacher told you herself" is the basis for your argument? I'd struggle to find any leading economist that would agree that on the same hours and time, women earn significantly less than men. Male teachers don't have babies, so wouldn't be taking leave for them. Therefore, men would be working more time and subsequently deserve more pay.

Aye, but women are still oppressed.

OMG MY TEACHER IS NOT THE BASIS OF MY ARGUMENT. Oh **** my capslock broke.

The UK's gender wage gap stands at 9.4 per cent in 2016 according to the ONS ... Back in 2012 women earned 9.5 per cent less than men.

Women share the same rights as men in the United Kingdom. Black people were oppressed by Americans centuries ago, they were systematically enslaved by a system with legal backing. Their rights were null and were regarded as less than human. That is oppression.

This is the definition of oppression, "prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or exercise of authority." You are saying that women, as a gender, are being wholly oppressed by by a system of authority. What would you say to the women in prominent positions, such as JK Rowling? Theresa May? What about the 18 female billionaires in the United Kingdom? Black people would never have gained such prominence in the horrific, oppressive society that they lived in. Women occupy many of the same roles as men, graduate and receive better grades than men (on average) and occupy some of the most prominent positions in the United Kingdom. Nursing, Pharmaceuticals, social care, community management, psychology, veterinary medicine and other fields are dominated by women. You could equally claim that men were being "oppressed" using this logic. There is no oppression of women in countries such as the United Kingdom, and by claiming debatable incidents of "sexism" with no solid factual backing completely disregards the problems truly oppressed people face.

Tell me, why should a person who does less work, takes more leave, is much less likely to do overtime should rightfully earn more than a person who rarely takes leave and rarely works overtime? There is a pay gap, it is not relative to the same amount of hours and time. (with variables applied)

Oh yeah lol I forgot sexism doesn't exist!!! Silly me!

That would be illegal. So unless the school is openly breaking the law, there's something else responsible for the difference.

Men tend to negotiate for higher pay, take less time off, work more hours, etc. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for pay disparities that don't have anything to do with discrimination.

When these factors are controlled for, time and again the pay gap shrinks to practically nothing.

Importantly, the gap only really becomes significant for married women with children. The gap for single, childless women is something like 5% and even less if they're younger.

It's mostly about choice. Women just choose to work less, hence lower average pay. That and they get pregnant.

No because not all women get pregnant and take time off. If a woman works the same hours as the man and has the same stats, why should the women who is clearly just as hard working, be paid less?
