It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

This has the same energy as Paul Krugman saying inflation doesn't exist if you simply ignore the cost of food, clothing, shelter, fuel, utilities, and transportation.
Exactly my thought. You're supposed to adjust for irrelevant variables.
Once you do the very scientific work of simply ignoring all variables that contribute to the gender gap, it no longer exists!
He turned Twitter into a fascist echo chamber and now he is completely unaware of how bad it looks when replies "!!" to a lukewarm gender pay gap penalty that is probably never ever gonna materialise.
the data is clear: boys go to college to get more knowledge, girls go to jupiter to get more stupider
Counterfactual: In a free marketplace of ideas, some boys will choose to go to Mars to get more bars.

If you control for the fact that we have labeled specific jobs for women and have systematically denigrated and underpaid women for those jobs, you can clearly see that women just happen to take lower paying jobs and thus there is no pay gap! I'm very smart.
"...particularly the most important variable: how much I personally assume and/or want this to be true."
If businesses could pay women less to do the same job they would preferentially hire women and the pay gap would disappear.
Yes I think perfectly rational actors is a valid assumption to base my whole field of study on why do you ask?
A significant portion of the pay gap is that women's work is underpaid, and men over represent in bullshit overpaid jobs.
The gender pay gap doesn't exist but also I think it would be very bad if there were a law requiring it to not exist.

In Brazil companies have to report the average and median of salaries of employees, by position, and self reported race and gender. I'm the BI analyst on the company I work for and HR asked me for a python script to do that, I was hoping they slip up and send me the complete salary company information but their smart asses send me the salary column with just 100 for everyone.

I mean if true that's cool. Extremely critical support.
Once again, gender-based pay discrimination is already against the law in many European countries. Obviously doesn't fully address the problem, but works fine, not a huge deal.
I went looking for this plan, because I wondered if the fine would actually be more than the gaps in question. News articles from 2019 linked to her website, but she's since removed it. Her error message:
