Just had an epiphany this morning about this.
Enticing, forcing, pressuring women into the workplace to compete with men is exceptionally unfair. In addition to the points I've already read about, like depressing wages and disrupting male bonding, is is, in fact, not a fair playing field. Women can, if things go poorly, fall back on their ability to produce offspring, be a homemaker, sell sex, and in practicality, the state will always support them no matter what. Men cannot do this, and to force him to compete in the workplace against not only coworkers, but also the opposite sex with affirmative-action preference and these "backup plans" is completely stacking the deck. He has no choice but to try harder, to be a family's breadwinner. She has a choice.
So even though the "pay gap" is a myth, it should exist and should be even wider in favor of males who are supporting the next generation's upbringing.
