@eshansingh1 Why? I see many people criticizing the measurement of the wage gap, but is this inherently sexist? Or did you refer to other comments?

@DJClayworth That is exactly the answer DonQuiKong gave.

Also, do we know that unemployment rates of women (note unemployment means only those who are actively looking) are not lower than men? What is the evidence on this? Seems to be a crucial assumption in this question..

I would say this actually comes closest to what I intuitively believe is going on (+1). However, the way you write it it's difficult to make sense of it in economic terms. How would we capture this? There is a difference between the "objective" marginal product and the marginal product observed by employers?

@reirab I think no one is considering the raw wage gap. Even the person opening the post mentioned adjusted wage gap.

@nick012000 How about citing some academic studies when making such bold claims?
