What about the gender workplace hours gap?

The Workplace Gender Equality Agency has a lot of work to do on its statistics following Senator David Leyonhjelm's questions in Estimates. The agency publish a gender pay gap based on ABS data, but they don’t account for the fact, revealed in the same ABS data, that male full-time workers tend to work longer hours than female full-time workers.

To not look at hours worked is intellectually dishonest and deceitful. Scumbags

They should have worked longer hours to get more information

"workplace gender equality agency"


staffed entirely by women.

This entire meeting was essentially "the dog ate my homework" excuse.

This is what a degree in gender studies looks like.

Did anybody noticed that the Workplace Gender Equality Agency panel is ALL women??? So much for gender equality.

[overhang]

This was so embarrassing to watch. "We don't collect that data" = "We collect only the data that supports our beliefs"

[philipjgilbert]

OMG, these women were so under prepared with their argument 🤦🏻‍♂️, that senator was so patient with them 👍

[spursbucswhitesoxfan]

"Why do you not look at hours worked?"


"Because it would totally destroy our argument."

What ever these women are being paid it is too much. That is what I have learned form this video.

The irony of these women talking about people who sit behind a desk being unproductive is comedy gold.

I tried making this argument to a woman who claimed she wasn’t a “feminist”. It was pointless. She kept repeating the rhetoric of “77 cents on the dollar” yet when I brought up different occupations, education levels, hours worked between men and women - even cited or showed examples of WOMEN themselves backing the argument (ala Ronda Rousey pay gap clip) - she would keep repeating “where are the stats”. I showed her the stats and it still didn’t matter.

This idea about the pay gap is so deeply rooted now that it’s almost impossible to argue.

Why is a panel who's role is monitoring/enforcing 'gender equality' only represented by women?

[Aspartame]

When your best argument for being caught in a political lie is to suggest that women who work 8 hours do as much work as a man that works 12.

[mjribes]

So, in other words, there is a major hole in their dataset which undermines the credibility of their entire report.

[TomNook.]

This is the most chill, low key roast I have ever seen

[stfclm]

Interesting how they assume that only male employees "sit at their desks" doing nothing and being paid. Sexist much?

[darrenbradley]

It sounds like this woman sits at her desk for many hours avoiding her responsibilities and job description on a daily basis.

[arielle_australia]

Your taxes are paying for these women’s salaries, people.
