    you’re right, i guess i didn’t consider:

    1. we’re clearly genetically predisposed to certain jobs, it’s probably in our DNA, just like capitalism itself
    2. jobs have set payments that come from nature itself; we don’t invent jobs we just discover them.
    3. jobs that happen to be discovered by women more naturally have lower payments by sheer coincidence.
    4. there’s nothing we can do about this
    5. this set of indisputable facts can be observed with empirical methods and it’s also complete coincidence that this happens to favor the men who are overrepresented in government
    6. oh hey that’s also just plainly what men are predisposed to do, being in power; women just don’t like being in power which is why they didn’t have voting rights until like last Friday or something.
