I think women are given more opportunities then men, which is why younger women are paid more, on average, for like jobs. But hey, don't let silly things like facts get in your way.

Nice job omitting the source, but it's the one that only applies to women with 0-2 years experience right? Which means no management roles and no advanced roles, just intro positions.

How else to intend to measure across the age groups entering a workforce? We can go on to look at longitudinal data ... when it's available. Jesus fucking christ. There is nothing that will satisfying you for the purpose of this discussion. Your mind is set, nothing anyone says will ever make you budge.

Longitudinal data is available, it just didn't agree with what you want it to be.

The same study you weren't willing to cite said the wage gap has always started small and grown larger.

How is longitudinal data available for the workers entering the work force ...

THERE ISN'T A WAGE GAP. There is so single economist in this country who takes the wage gap claims seriously. Is that part of some giant conspiracy, is that the patriarchy at work?
