So my brother and I got to talking, he wholy believes women get paid 70% of what men get paid. I tried prodding him in the right direction by stating if this is done every eyar, vs once a year, and if the jobs are the same or if they compare industry only. Any other rebuttals i can use, or is he a lost hope? I feel any information i give him that goes against the women oppressed narrative will just be completely ignored

Great. Tell him to look at the self-employed.

Why do women choose to pay themselves less than men?

If you have him doing the research himself, he'll be biased in favor of his own findings. Might be enough of a bias to disrupt his programming.

Also, don't deny that discrimination exists. Sure it does. Some people are assholes. But discriminating against women is illegal, whereas the mayor of Chicago does so openly. The real question is how much of this is really discrimination.

I reckon it's maybe a penny. Maybe.
