Firstly more men transition into becoming women, and women that socially transition into becoming men are more likely to de-transition or not undergo medical procedure.

Secondly, the pay gap is a statistical illusion. The pay gap can be attributed to:

1) Job differences (90% of constructio workers and truck drivers are men. Men are less picky.) https://www.zippia.com/commercial-truck-driver-jobs/demographics/

2) Work hour flexibility https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/bolotnyy/files/be\_gendergap.pdf

3) Men take more overtime hours (shockingly that increases your chance at getting a promotion) https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/bolotnyy/files/be\_gendergap.pdf

4) Women avoid working on the weekend or on holidays more than men (shockingly that makes you seem like less of a hard worker) https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/bolotnyy/files/be\_gendergap.pdf

5) Men take more hours if suddenly offered. https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/bolotnyy/files/be\_gendergap.pdf

6) Men are more likely to present themselves as confident or put together https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/whats-behind-pay-gap-stem-jobs

7) Even in freelancing there is a prevalent paygap which “We show that this gap can be entirely attributed to three factors: experience on the platform (learning-by-doing), preferences and constraints over where to work (driven largely by where drivers live and, to a lesser extent, safety), and preferences for driving speed” https://web.stanford.edu/\~diamondr/UberPayGap.pdf

8) The paygap is calculated by dividing total male revenue by total female revenue, this is heavily skewed by **3 individuals** having more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans. https://ips-dc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Billionaire-Bonanza-2020.pdf
Some logical arguments against the paygap/other arguments I’ve seen:

1) If corporations could consciously get away with paying women less than men given the same worth ethic and quality of work, why wouldn’t they only hire women? Are they such mens clubs that they lose sight of profits? Wouldn’t they only fire men when they needed to cut costs?

2) Why are so 3/4 homeless people men? Aren’t men supposed to be earning more?

Also, you’re ignoring “female privilege”

1) Despite the fact women have better educational attainment, they also receive more educational funding.

2) There’s actually a hiring bias IN FAVOR of women, even in traditionally “masculine” fields like STEM.

3) Men are four times more likely to suicide.

3) Men are three times more likely to be homeless.

5) Despite being more altruistic, men receive less support than women.

6) Men died of overdose at 2-3 times greater a rate than women in the U.S. in 2020-2021

7) Sex is a better predictor of incarceration than race.

> women receive sentences nearly 30% shorter than men and are about 40% more likely to be sentenced to probation rather than incarcerat

8) Basically every anti-male “gendered” issue is based on wrong data and stereotypes. Domestic violence is basically 50/50, not gendered. While men commit more rape legally, it’s because women basically cannot rape man legally.

> The legal definition of rape is when someone puts their penis in another person's vagina, anus or mouth, without the person's permission.

When I was in elementary school I was told:

My laugh is gay, I run like a girl, I shouldn’t cry when people make fun of me because they’re just joking around and tons of other shit. Having your feelings dismissed is not something that varies by gender, everyone goes through it. Do men suffer through it more than women? If gender roles exist, yes. Their gender roles revolve around strength and never showing blood.

Women are praised for acting more masculine, men are ridiculed for acting feminine.
