I'm in particular talking about the 23 cent wage gap between men and women. There is no wage gap. The fact is, that number was taken from the difference between average wages for men and average wages for women. It does not take into account position, work completed(hours worked), seniority at a position, or even success of the company the position is held at. When those factors are taken into account, the wage gap is beyond tiny. It's so small that it's to the point of being an irrelevant digit, something that our money system doesn't account for(We're talking tenths and hundredths of a cent here). The wage gap is actually more close to
It's simply showing that, on average, men are earning more money. This could be pointed out as caused by any number of reasons. It's called an anonymity skew. Basically, what that is, is a person can use that information to make a wide variety of assumptions that could, based on the information provided, have a lot of merit and validity to it, just because the information is so anonymous.
Someone could argue that it's because men are more readily hired to better paying jobs than women, and tend to be allowed to remain at those jobs longer(IE: aren't laid off as often).
Someone could argue that it's because women are forced into a stereotype group of college degrees and jobs that focus them into lower-paying professions, such as education and psychology.
Someone could also argue that it's because women tend to take more breaks, and are more likely to stay home with their children when they have them.
And, based on the information used to make the "23 cent wage gap" point, those are all very valid.
Note: I'm not saying that inequality doesn't exist. I am, however, saying that this particular point of inequality is an actual fallacy, and it's been disproven by other studies. The reason that it keeps being used time and time again is because it's a compelling story. That's about it.
