and i agree that sometimes women who have 6 months off work(maternity) and more sickdays(due to mentruation) than a man should not be paid equally if they are not performing to the same standard as a man.
however to equal the balance men should too have equal paternaty break rather than forcing women to only have a couple months off to try to be as competitive as men.
many work places have introduced flexitime so that if a mother has to take a kid to the dentist she can make up the time later in the day. this is not gender bias by saying work from 11-7 instead of 9-5 because lil jimmy has a 9am appointment.
women have tried to say its gender bias by thinking that if they cant go home at 5pm like others they are being mistreated. without realising they didnt turn up til 11 which is the opposite of being mis-treated.
i found many times a female cleaner thinks they deserve the same pay as a man in a higher position, purely because of some gender difference.
the pay should reflect the skills, talents and labour required to perform the role and the work load results of that task.
in real estate men who sell more houses have it where women get angry they are not getting the same bonuses as men and think its a gender bias scenario. reality is a female real estate agent should try to sell an equal amount of housing if she wants equal bonus.
sometimes women dont realise that to have 6 months of maternity pay is half a years salary. and many men usually have to pay the company for extra time off for equal paternity time. so women should treat maternity as a bonus and not a 'right'
yes women have the right to have kids but when personal life impacts the business the business has the right to find a replacement. and keeping someone on should be a bonus.
many men dont get the chance to just say to their boss they want 6 months off-full pay to have time with family
many times i have seen the gender bias try to be used to try giving women alot more bonuses, pay rises, promotions, special treatment, than men.. purely out of fear of being sued due to some sexual harassment/gender bias/ inequality accusation.
as long as no employer has a 'all boys club' that only highers men. then women do have the oppertunity. but i see no reason why a nurse should feel she deserves the same pay as a doctor. when she has only had basic training of taking a blood sample. when surgeons spend upto 10 years training
The first part of what you're talking about is actually one of the reasons behind the 'wage gap' and the (I think they call it this) the 'manager gap' It's because people don't want to promote young women to manager position / higher positions because they think that they're going to get pregnant, which leaves the business with the responsibility of training another person for the position that they thought they had already filled.
Wage gap is bullshit. It's a mad up stat that's abused by people for political reasons. If both men and women did the same job and women were willing to accept 25 percent less or 10 percent less or 15 or whatever for the same work, then those GREEDY GREEDY COMPANIES that the left loves to talk about would only hire women.
