Statement 1: "I would be willing to give up some of my salary if I had to, so that equal pay in my workplace could be a reality." - Already my palm finds itself dangerously close to my face as the author failed to come up with a scenario where my personal success does not matter to me. I mean, are they assuming I am not only making more in my current line of work, but would lessen that just to be certain everybody could be at the same financial disadvantage? Or are we all imaginary CEOs with highly inflated salaries for this? Not a solution, statement 1. Not a solution.

Statement 4: "I know who Bell Hooks is." - Are they a rapper? That sounds like a rapper name.

Statement 9: "Women should be allowed to apply for a job if they fulfill 60% of the job requirements." - Um. Why? Shouldn't we all be attempting to find jobs we at least 80% qualify for, if not entirely? Man or woman, if an employer isn't looking to train somebody in fundamental aspects of the job from the ground up, some weirdly misguided sense of equal gender representation won't magically make the lack of experience become insignificant. #notfeminism

Statement 12: "I believe it’s important to encourage women to negotiate."...um...do they not already? Do we not naturally negotiate whenever we want something? It isn't as if women are these inherently submissive creatures. Way to push a gender stereotype, supposedly feminist quiz.

Statement 20: "I believe it’s important to compliment a woman’s intelligence over her looks." - Por que no los dos?

Statement 24: "I know what a “Bad Feminist” is." - Oh! Oh! Anybody who takes this quiz as an even remotely serious measure of feminist belief.

It's around that halfway point where I stopped reading. I never really started participating.

Dude, you make no sense sociologically.

Supply and demand has nothing to do with this. If you were to pay someone professing his job enough so that he would be willing and able to profess it, the world would be much more equal. You really should take a course on political and economical elites, because that's more of a reason certain professions get paid more then others. Everyone has the freedom to pursue, but has to make due with the wage that was set by society and you can't question that? That's completely rediculous. Your "common sense" that one should simply look for another job when one doesn't pay enough is complete bollocks. People don't just switch jobs that easy. For some people, that's a difficult process if one finds a good job at all in this job market.

The market is not controlled by the invisible hand, but by the peopel working in it. And there you'll find the reason the wage gap still exists.

Says I makes no sense sociologically, but gives this asinine idea that we should get equally paid throughout all sectors. Your utopian idea is far from realistic and is outside this world. It has nothing to do with supply and demand? When people need a product and service, they PAY for it. Do you think services are free and that the money companies recieve comes from the trees? I can't believe I have to explain this in such simplistic terms and it still doesn't register with you. If nobody had heart problems, do you think heart surgeons would be getting paid as much as they do? When nobody comes for a service or product, employers aren't making money. You expect me to educate myself when you have no idea about economics, let alone the reality of how people get paid. Why would I question how things are structured? It's simple as I need to state over and over: You get paid more for a job when the service is highly in demand and there aren't many workers. And once again, if small jobs were paid equal as dangerous, difficult jobs, no one would work those dangerous and difficult jobs. SO, tell me: In your utopian world, who is going to apply for these necessary jobs? They are needed because of the DEMAND of the services and with a short SUPPLY of workers, who will do the important jobs that keep the homes and facilities running? My common sense is certainly more realistic than your utopian worldview which is out of this world. A lot of people do go for different jobs and different studies. I'm an example of one of them and so are the many I have met in College who changed majors/career fields.

I'm not utopian my friend. I just know how the world works. Keep telling yourself supply and demand. Of course if no one wanted a certain service no one would provide it, that's basic economic stuff. I studied economics before, I know how it works.

But you seem to completely forget another factor. Personal entitlement. People have an idea in their society how much something is worth or how much someone should be paid. That idea can be enforced or discouraged and the very way a society is structured makes it so that how much a certain job gets paid actually varies very little even depending on supply and demand.

Next your going to tell me a CEO deserves to earn over 50x the wage of someone at the bottom of a company.

Men aren't paid higher due to being men as feminists say, it is because they choose professions that have higher pay. Who said both professions are of the same skill and qualification? In general women prefer arts while men go for science and both go in big numbers to pursue commerce. Science requires more reasoning, logic and skill and a lot more hard work than arts, so professions in this field pay more. If women chose sciences in large numbers like men, the wage gap wouldn't exist.

Brain surgeons aren't useful for everyone, but they are highly specialised, payed a lot to study their subjects in college and have studied hard to be where they are. The same is not true for street cleaners. If what you said was right, people simply wouldn't opt for going into medical fields when hey can earn the same by cleaning streets. Then when a person would require a brain surgeon, where would they find one? Same is true for all specialised fields. The higher income in these fields brings hard working people to them.

Question 24... do I know what a bad feminist is

the next question should just be more vague and ask "why though?" without any explanation.

a proud 17/50 I though I would get a lot less and that they would curse me for the score...

But yes, most points were ridiculous.

If you knew how the world works, these arguments you present wouldn't be so unrealistic, bro. Having taken economics before doesn't mean you know your stuff. I was a previous math major beforehand, that doesn't mean I'm an expert in Calculus or Topology. Also, actual economists know their stuff more than the both of us and many say that the gender wage gap doesn't take variables into consideration (also noted by Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers).

Personal entitlement doesn't mean you can demand your work be paid at the same rate as other necessary occupations. That's just plain ridiculous. Do you think a McDonald's sales associate can demand he/she be paid the same as a brain surgeon? Again, if this occured, NO ONE would become a brain surgeon since it cost a huge investment, time and discipine to become one. Then what will happen when there's millions of people with brain problems and there's only .01% brain surgeons to accomodate them? I'd like to hear what you propose.

First off, which occupation are you comparing this CEO to? Secondly, if you've read my actual arguments, I never said anyone deserves what they get paid, I'm saying they're getting paid the money they get for a reason. If one isn't satisfied with their earnings, they have the feedom to leave and pursue other alternatives.

The investment point is something else. Education should be free, in many countries it isn't. And I get that in the Anglo-Saxon world, it's a huge investment.

But I get the impression that we're discussing I parallels, I think the major point of difference is that you think the job market is more flexible and one can choose to go for a higher paying job while I state it's not that easy at all and they're societal factors with more influence in the job market then you think.

It isn't really something else though. But yes, education is not free in many countries. I took the chances and have my B.A. degree. I sure owe a lot, but I'm making progress. Most students owe more than 3X what I owe, depending on what College or University they attended.

We are discussing parallels. That isn't what I'm saying though. I'm saying that we all have the freedom to choose different career paths to accomodate ourselves. Not everyone is unhappy working at whichever occupation they hold for the average earnings they make.

But think about this: How much do female models make compared to a dangerous occupation such as a miner or petroleum engineer where men mostly occupy? One of the top female models earned $42 million in a year. Thing is, this job is based on revenue and how much money the model can bring in. Men don't complain about that on the news though. They know how reality is and look to make a living regardless. If we entered a major depression, I'm positive fashion models and even agencies wouldn't be employed at all because  peope who normally spend on fashion wouldn't think or care about fashion when they have to think carefully about maintaing their lives. 

That's why it is crucial if people want to talk about equal pay, it remain in the same company under the same title. I understand you want to see increased wages in low paying sectors, but it isn't as easy as you think.
