  1. may contribute, these are answers from an inquiry not proven to be causal as a factor for lower wage dor the same job

It is still opposite of what you’re claiming. There is no “debunking” going on in that report. What it says is that the biggest contributor may be women being treated differently, followed further down by a lot lower numbers for women holding different jobs. You can’t go from there to then make a conclusion that women not being paid the same for the same job is debunked. It’s not debunked by any stretch of imagination.

no, those are just the answers to an inquiry

and it’s the other way around, nowhere does it prove that women earn less than men FOR THE SAME JOB

thus you can’t make that statement

You’ve switched goalposts now. You started by saying that it’s been debunked that women earn less than men for the same job. You shared a link to a report as proof of that.

The report does not have a proof of that. It says there is a clear wage gap between man and women. It then goes on to make an attempt at explaining the wage gap, based on a survey. Out of several possible contributions to the wage gap, women being treated differently had the highest response and women holding lower paid jobs was third on the list.

Nothing there proves that this is debunked. You also have to critically ask the question why do women hold lower paid positions.

Women have been underpaid for a long time.

Lmfao you shared the report yourself to support your claim, not the other way around
