CAMEROONPRIDE: this is people abuse feminists , you clearly didn't watch the video. Anyway she's explainig the wage gap , meaning she accepts that there is a wage gap but at least she is not whining , because she knows men work more and women take more break. .capiche
Stating facts is whining? Ok.

CAMEROONPRIDE: dumb azz men work more overall. besides maybe you guys should learn how to negotiate a contract .
Did you read my links? No because even adjusted for time work and other factors there still is a gap.

A poster from FB and a YouTube vid definitely is better than facts from the UN and US government ok sir I hear.

biolabee: I have experienced discrimination, racism subtly when I was on a study
In nigeria all the females I have worked with earn the same as a male with the requisite qualifications

So when u speak of wage gap based on gender, I am yet to see it in nigeria

This is why I ask you [b]do you have a personal experience of wage differential based on gender or do u know anyone who has suffered it[\b]

Note I have asked fellis, bukatyne and 99cent and they have never being able to answer directly
I only work part time because I'm in school, and the job is just something to do so I'm not overly concerned with pay. In my actual field then yes I will be more concerned about pay differences.

CAMEROONPRIDE: you are the one who made the claim, so show us the facts to shut our mouths.

biolabee: Thanks but I asked u specifically to know if u are being paid less than a male rather than recycling or peddling some others' words

IF u dont want to answer ,,,, fair enough

I will like to hear if any female that is qualified for a role as a male was paid less than the male

Then we can talk
Have you experienced descrimination or racism before? If you say no, does that negate the fact that others have?

Its called an average, some women are paid fairly while others are not, but on average many do not receive a fair wage. Its a simple point really.

Next, in Nigeria at least, is there any transparency to see how wages are distributed? If no then how do you expect anyone to know who makes what.

biolabee: Can you use specific examples please

In your field are u paid less than a male yes or no
Google.com I'm not going to belabor a fact that can be found in .0000009 seconds.

CAMEROONPRIDE: this has been debunked
With what facts. Please not some loon with a blog.

CAMEROONPRIDE: maybe you can explain better because your sisters really didn't do a good job
If two doctors one male and one female do the same job and amount of work should they not be paid the same?

From high level jobs to menial work women are often paid less for their work even if they produce the same quality of work as a man.

I don't know why guys get so insane in the head over the word feminism. I think its a lack of understanding of what it entails.
