WTF. The so called wage gap was partially explained because men work more hours, work more overtime and take fewer holidays, These are government statistics so how the hell did you come to that conclusion? Who do you think built your villages, towns, cities, country and all its infastructure and utilities?

One more thing if men are seen as being more creative don't you think there is a reason behind this thought, I don't know maybe like the entire history of human civilisation.

Working longer hours is not the same as working harder. It has been proven time and time again that longer hours does not correlate to the same productivity gain. Maybe women work smarter.

Are you saying that women can't built villages, towns, cities, infrastructure and utilities? So by your reasoning men can't raise kids? Since historically that was always the female job. Who raised, fed, clothed, nurtered, kept safe the men that build your county?

There are differences between men and women. Men have a tendency to be more specialized while women have a tendency to be more balanced.

These are only tendencies. Where do you fit?
  Men with more specialized brains Women with more balanced
brains
Advantages More likely to become geniuses and experts Better at managing, generalist thinking, and "intuitive" thinking (ie. aware of many aspects of a situation).
Disadvantages More likely to become absent-minded experts, and be poor managers Less likely to excel as experts
Careers where this tendency is a real advantage Musician, Craftsmen, Specialist in any field, and any career using spatial sense President, CEO, Manager, Supervisor, Mother, Nurse, Secretary, Lawyer, Cook, Teacher


Examples are easy to find.

  • Hospitals are almost "run" by nurses. Specialist male doctors ask the generalist nurses what is happening with their patients.
  • Secretaries are exceedingly important at keeping most organizations operating smoothly, thereby making the CEO and specialists successful.
  • Most men do not seem very adept at being house-husbands, which involves keeping track of many things happening at the same time.

Yet why is it that the nurse is seen as the lesser while the specialist gets the big paycheck and recognition? Same for secretaries?
Kinda ironic females are better suited to be president or ceo, yet they are in the minority. (14%) only 24 out of the top 500.

The world was always run by men, that doesn't mean they're the only ones or the best ones suited to the task. There's certainly a lot of room for improvement, and more balanced thinking is definitely needed on all levels.

Men found and build up companies out of those 500 companies how many were founded by men? At least 95% of them. All of the biggest companies were founded by men and over 95% of patents are by men. So you are saying men should found a company, take financial risks to make it work then the moment it becomes successful hand the leadership of his company over to a woman, just no. Also you can't do maths because 24 out of 500 is 4.8 % not 14%.

Nurses are more valuable than doctors and surgeons lol, They get paid less because their  job requires less qualifications and skill. Lastly where the hell did you get the idea that women are more suited to leadership? The whole of human history would disagree.
