It'd be nice to turn this thread back into a discussion from a circlejerk tho.


@ShinkuDragon was bored; googled Panama. Doesn't look like it's really better than the US on gendered pay. (gonna continue to ignore the race thing if you guys are ok with that, I haven't said anything about what any race should think)

women and men get paid the exact same here for the same job. women can study and do whatever they want. an aunt of mine works on the canal, a couple others are doctors, parent of a friend's an architect, and so much more to go on.

if women in general decide to get lower-paying jobs for whatever reason that's on them. over here everyone has the same opportunities provided you have the money for them.

edit: here's a funny thing about what you linked:

Gender equality vs. women’s empowerment
The third distinguishing feature of the Global Gender Gap
Index is that it ranks countries according to their proximity
to gender equality rather than to women’s empowerment.
Our aim is to focus on whether the gap between women
and men in the chosen indicators has declined, rather than
whether women are “winning” the “battle of the sexes”.
Hence, the Index rewards countries that reach the point
where outcomes for women equal those for men, but it
neither rewards nor penalizes cases in which women are
outperforming men in particular indicators

Truncating the
data at the equality benchmarks for each variable assigns
the same score to a country that has reached parity
between women and men and one where women have
surpassed men

how is a work about equality not measure the cases where women are "winning". regardless on if male or female, one being above the other means it's not equal.
