The world divides into two: those who believe a gender pay gap exists, and those who don't.
Those who don't say women are doing different jobs. They are working part-time, prioritising home/family, do not want the high level responsibility and work load associated with high profile jobs. Thus women choose lower paid jobs because they prefer the conditions.
Those who believe it exists say two people presenting the same show or headlining the same film should be paid the same but clearly are not.
My position: women do different work and this largely explains the observed pay gap. But where the world is set up for men to succeed, women have to pick up the 'crumbs' they can. SO the pay gap doesn't truly exist, but that isn't because of women's choice.
As befits my character, I like to have my views tested. DO you agree?
