There is no doubt women had been discriminated against in the past with regard to earnings they receive.
The question is whether they still are, when anti-discrimination laws have been on the books for years and penalties are severe. Yet, women still tend to earn less.
But there can be valid reasons. Because many women leave jobs in mid-career for maternity reasons. That distorts statistical averages. Others prefer to spend more time with family.
Still, there are more variations in certain professions than others, which makes household concerns not the sole explanation for income variation. Hostile environment may often be possible. The discrepancy varies by profession.
Women’s needs may vary within those jobs, especially where measures of hostility may actually exist. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
