The most common and widespread examples of jobs don't count towards the general debate of gender pay equality?

Is it possible we could be having the wrong discussion?

I'll be the first to agree with you that things get more in-groupy as we approach the upper echelons of society. And then, it isn't hard to figure out why it's people of the more commonly aggressive sex who happens to dominate over everyone else, as they have been for thousands of years.

I don't think it's fair to use what's going on up there to make a point about the majority of the world population. I know it's what everyone does, that people refuse to detach the decisions and actions of the rich from the rest of the people who share a trait with them (I mean, there are only two sexes [sexes, genitalia, not talking about genders], obviously about half of the world is going to have something in common with whoever's on top).

I promise you, the vaaast majority of men are just as mistreated by these humans as the majority of women are. Oh, it's not identical treatment; they've discovered equity of torture.

But hey, let's not notice that while a small percentage of the males are making more money than females (and both females and males in this tier making more money than practically everyone else) that the majority of men are also more likely to become homeless, go to prison, or commit suicide.

The masses barely decide how their lives are meant to be lived, we can't blame a near half of them for what goes on among the 1%.
