…they’d do the things men do to earn their pay. Pursue challenging disciplines. Work long hours.
I’ve said this before. This woman amplifies.

“A serious dialogue about parity in the workplace can begin only when we liberate ourselves from the widely propagated but utterly false assertion that “for the same work, women receive 77 cents for every dollar a man earns.” The 23-cent wage gap does not take into account the factors that justify different pay (http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf), like occupation, education, tenure on the job, and hours worked per week.”
“…"social science" as one college major and reports that, among such majors, women earn only 83 percent of what men earn. Horrifying—until you notice that "social science" includes both “economics” and “sociology.” Economics majors (66 percent male) have a median income of $70,000; for sociology majors (68 percent female) it is $45,000.”
“Europe’s comprehensive family-friendly polices do bring more women into the workforce—but they tend to work part-time and remain in low-level positions (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aeaweb.org%2Faea%2F2013confer ence%2Fprogram%2Fretrieve.php%3Fpdfid%3D257&ei=JmVYUaeDCeHN0gGnm4G4Cw&usg=AFQjCNGWuVc4C6bBxnDVK5Qmbj3VNax7xA&bvm=bv.44442042,d.dmQ).”
“American women are more likely to work full-time and to achieve high-level jobs as managers or professionals.”
“Talented young women who aspire to be rich and powerful would be advised to major in economics or electrical engineering rather than psychology or social work. They should be prepared to work 60 hours a week at the office rather than combining shorter hours with home, family, and other pursuits they find fulfilling. Those who stick with this course will find that their W-2s are equal to those of their male counterparts.”
Taxcutter says:
Ask Carly Fiorina or Oprah Winfrey. Or maybe emulate Jack Welch. He was hardly born with a silver spoon, son of a railroad conductor. He got an engineering degree and worked staggering hours for decades to become CEO of GE.
