The whole "gender pay gap" theory has been completely debunked. Yes, women earn less than men, on average. Liberals claim that alone, is proof of sexism. But the fact is, women work less hours than men, and are much more likely to put their career on hold to spoend time at home, than men. When you normalize for that, the pay gap disappears, it does not exist. Women who work tons of hours make the same as men who work tons of hours. WOmen who leave at 3:00 every day to meet the school bus, make the same as men who leave at 3:00 every day to meet the school bus. There is no pay gap when you remove the hours worked discrepancy. It's as fair as it can be. Those who outwork their peers, regardless of gender, will get ahead.

Now, in Hollywood, there probably are a lot less opportunities for women, because like it or not, that industry is based on looks, and women get pushed out faster than men. If women don't like that, no one is forcing them to work in Hollywood. If you're a woman, and you want to make a living in the movies, you know what you are signing up for.

As usual Jim your opinion is valuable but it is also a load of crap

The myth you speak of is more reality than your research unveiled. Unless of course you live in Denmark where women earn 2% more than men in equal circumstances. Next in line come Norway and Singapore where women are compensated at an 80% rate in the wage comparison. The U.S. however is ranked 65th in the world with a generous 66% rate that just climbed 1% in 2014. These numbers were provided by CNN but I hope you get the idea that you could not be more wrong,
As usual.
