Why Men Earn More - The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap

This is a talk given my Dr. Warren Farrel at the Cato (www.cato.org) institute on Tuesday, February 1, 2005 entitled:

Why Men Earn More
The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gapand What Women Can Do About It

A presentation from his book of the same name
http://www.amazon.com/Why-Men-Earn-More-Startling/dp/0814472109/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226349227&sr=1-1

 

Cato offers the real video stream of the lecture I have captured here on this events page:

I have reproduced this material without permission under fair use. The aim is to present information on how womens own choices lead to the wage gap which thus stems from their own liberty. I make no profit from these video views and all intellectual material is to Cato.

Synopsis:
Warren Farrell, the only man to have been elected three times to the National Organization for Womens New York board of directors, is the author of such books as The Myth of Male Power and Why Men Are the Way They Are. In his new book, he argues that women earn less than men on average not because they are discriminated against, but because they have made lifestyle choices that affect their ability to earn. Why Men Earn More argues that although discrimination sometimes plays a part, both men and women unconsciously make trade-offs that affect how much they earn. Farrell clearly defines the 25 different workplace choices that affect incomes--including putting in more hours at work, taking riskier jobs or more hazardous assignments, being willing to change location, and training for technical jobs that involve less people contact--and provides readers with specific, research-supported ways for women to earn higher pay.

    I realize this isn't yours, but something interesting to consider is that jobs in the "Hard Sciences" are typically composed of more men than women. It could be that "Hard Science" jobs are viewed as more valuable BECAUSE men are typically the ones to do them.

    No. That's just a conspiracy theory.

    Hard science is valuable because it's hard. It gives you many useful things. Our lives are totally different due to hard science.

    The problem isn't that the feminists put too much importance upon male dominated occupations, but rather that they put too little importance upon female dominated occupations. How is raising the next generation considered to be so lowly in their minds? Surely, if a woman desires a different path, that should be open to her in our society, but to denounce the importance and necessity of raising offspring simply spits in the face of both biology and God alike.

    Must go and buy for a copy of Warren Farrell’s book, and perhaps pay for a ticket to Walter Block’s lecture, just so that I’m helping out with their female maintenance money. I suspect that I have just had the piss taken out of me, oh well - “Now and then, there’s a fool, such as I am, over you...”

Please add 5 and 5 and type the answer here:

The umbrella in particular is remembered as the symbol of the nineteenth century’s disturbing obsession with individualism. In Bellamy’s utopia, umbrellas have been replaced with retractable canopies so that everyone is protected from the rain equally.
“In the nineteenth century,” explains a character, “when it rained, the people of Boston put up three hundred thousand umbrellas over as many heads, and in the twentieth century they put up one umbrella over all the heads.”
