Mate, you know that the '75.5 cent' fact isn't true, right? I mean several economists have proven that statistic wrong. Here, let me explain. First of all the study that you got this statistic from say that they only counted full time workers, however, what can be seen as 'full time' varies from job to job. Also there are statistics that say that men are more willing to work more time a week, in fact, there are statistics that say men work 40 hours a week while women usually (keyword is usual, there are a few women who work ALOT, one of them being my own mother) work 30-35 hours a week. If your article that you pulled this fact from had taken this fact in account then the pay gap would have lessened. Also there is the simple fact that women and men tend to choose different paths of education in college with women leaning more towards artistic and care centered jobs while men choose jobs that focus on mathematics and science (if you say that the reason why women don't pick other paths of education in college because they are discouraged then how do you explain the overwhelming amount of women who are veterinarians). Men are also more likely to ask their bosses for a raise as well which also lends to them making more money, to go along with that it is highly evident that men choose to take on more risky jobs be it as a warehouse worker, a construction worker, or even a stock broker. In order to compensate for the amount of danger these employees are in they are paid more. Therefore, if you take in ALL of these factors into account I think that most people will see that there is a rational reason as to why women don't earn as much money as men other than there being some secret organization of white cis gendered male identifying individuals plotting to oppress women for the rest of time (MUAHAHAHA). Also if women want more equality with men in terms of work and opportunity then why don't I hear more women shouting and protesting to be more represented in 'dirty' occupations such as sanitation? Or why don't I hear more women wanting to be able to join combat units in the military (we have all seen what has happened with the first combat engineer)? Seems like people shouting for things such as 'equal pay' only want to have all the the benefits and rewards without putting in the work.
