This.<p>Any time someone trots out the &#x27;79 cent for every dollar&#x27; canard, their credibility goes to zero. Ie they are either too stupid to properly research the issue or actually intend to obfuscate it.<p>The real wage gap is about 3% (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;time.com&#x2F;money&#x2F;4009768&#x2F;wage-gap-men-women-equal-pay&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;time.com&#x2F;money&#x2F;4009768&#x2F;wage-gap-men-women-equal-pay&#x2F;</a>). But most of that comes down to choices made by the individuals - hours they work per week, career interruptions, etc.
