The gender pay-gap hype rears its ugly head again, thanks to advocacy “research”  sponsored by the AAUW (American Association of University Women), a feminist advocacy organization, as per a much publicized report, “Behind the Pay Gap.”

However, there are strong voices of disagreement, even women’s voices, who dare to challenge the AAUW’s gender-pay-gap view through the feminist gender-lens. Not only that, but some of those voices dare to debunk the AAUW’s long-standing gender pay-gap hype and hysteria.

Thanks to Gordon E. Finley, Ph.D. and Manumit, who pointed to it, the following is an exchange of opinions on the pay-gap issue that represents both sides of the argument, fact versus fancy, published in the Washington Times:

The original editorial that got the discussion going:

EDITORIAL: Fairness is not equality

Monday, July 14, 2008

Barack Obama has lately confused his adjectives when speaking to the supposed equality flaws in America’s employment system. What he should say and what this country needs is fair pay for women, which is not the same as equal pay. But that has not not stopped him from linking natural social behaviors to issues of equality in an attempt to convince single working mothers to cast their votes for him in November. If Mr. Obama’s profound logic was used, then it would follow that Mr. Obama himself is a hypocrite because the women working in his Senate office are outnumbered and outpaid by men….(Full Story)

An opposing feminist opinion (unsubstantiated, as is usual):

Equal pay for equal work is fair

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

In “Fairness is not equality” (Editorial, Monday) the author blames the differences between women’s and men’s pay on women’s choices and argues that research on the pay gap ignores “common sense” factors such as “occupation, experience, seniority, education and hours worked.”….(Full Story)

Carla Fehr obviously and totally missed the foundation of the editorial she took offence to, “fair pay for women …is not the same as equal pay.” She appears to be a card-carrying member of both NOW and AAUW; at the very least she expresses her opinions like one; just as Hitler successfully rationalized, if you repeat the big lie often and all-pervasively enough, it will be accepted as “the truth.”

Here is a more objective and more reasonable voice:

LETTER TO EDITOR: Pay gap vanished

Thursday, July 17, 2008

Unfortunately, what the author is citing (”Equal pay for equal work is fair,” Mailbox, Wednesday) is Web-posted, non-peer-reviewed advocacy “research.”

What she should be citing is peer-reviewed research published in the highest-level journals in the field. Had she skipped the Web and read America’s most prestigious peer-reviewed economics journal [American Economic Review], she would have found an article [’The gender gap in wages, circa 2000′ *] by economist June O’Neill, the former director of the Congressional Budget Office….(Full Story)

Gordon E. Finley wrote another article on the issue of the gender pay-gap:

Gender pay gap myths and 2008 , Sunday 18 November 2007, by Gordon E. Finley  (See article)

Here is a collection of related information at Fathers for Life that also soundly debunks the AAUW’s hype and hysteria on the gender pay-gap and has done so for many years:  “Pay equity for women doesn’t exist?“.

It’s not that the truth isn’t out there.  For the truth to prevail, all that is needed is to mention it often enough and not to rely on the mainstream media to look after that responsibility.

The mainstream media, catering to an all-powerful leftist, central and controlling ideology, just as the German media did under Hitler, lies, lies and lies unflinchingly.

Charlotte, N.C. (AP) - Jeff Carstensen was spooked when he learned his grandmother planned to buy him a $100,000 life insurance policy - and name herself the beneficiary.

“She told me that people of our stature have insurance policies on each other,” he said. “That way, if something happens to you, you take care of me, and if something happens to me, I take care of you. It was all too suspicious. So I got out of there any way I could, as soon as I could.”

…[The grandmother, Cecilia Flynn,] was charged last month in North Carolina with solicitation of murder in the July 14, 1986 shooting death of her fourth husband, Harold Gentry…..(Full Story)http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gHG3MzunhA7wcxcqqxhtTf4tUfzQD91TJCC00

From Roger Eldridge, Ireland

To put so-called Family breakdown in context I provide a few extracts from my upcoming book which sets out my hypothesis that “feminism”, “domestic violence” and the “gender war” are simply manufactured marketing tools.

“In order to pay the wages and make a profit the media has learnt that their clients - readers, viewers, listeners, must be good consumers or else the advertisers will go elsewhere. The best consumers are overwhelmingly women - Maureen Gaffney of the National Economic and Social Forum estimates that at least 90% of financial decisions and purchases are now made by women - so to survive and be successful editors everywhere must fill the spaces between the ads with content (what in the old days used to be called “News”) labelled WAWMAA - stories that reinforce what women like to hear - ones that say Women Are Wonderful, Men Are Awful.

It’s not that editors like women and dislike men, it’s just good for business.

The mantra of big business is growth so their strategy has to be always to maximise profit through sales. For every cent they pay to a woman they know they will get it back immediately in sales. For them to hire women rather than men, wherever it is feasible, suits their purpose.

It’s not that managers and company directors like women and dislike men, it’s just good for business.

Since the seventies governments have acted exactly like big business. They now claim taxes from virtually every purchase made so, if they want to expand their empire, they have a vested interest in ensuring consumerism is maximised.

That means it makes sense for government, like the media and big business, to have policies which use WAWMAA to justify the transfer of control of the Family income from the man to the woman. Hence the built-in bias in the governments family Courts - both in Custody and Domestic Violence cases - and Child Support laws and decisions.

It’s not that governments like women and dislike men, it’s just good for business.”
