I have now been informed why accounting for choices women make abt which jobs they do & what hours they work is a mathematical error when looking at it statistically & I'm quite willing to accept that it is but this might just mean that looking at it statistically is not helpful

Maybe that's responding to mathematical error with a mathematical error but I'm not at all sure this comes down to maths anyway. Surely a wage gap which persists when those variables are controlled for means more than one where it doesn't. In real terms. Apparently, that's naive.

Most interesting argument was that it denies women's agency to suggest they are free to make their own choices because this suggests they cannot choose not to enter jobs which are said to have high levels of discrimination. My head hurts.

I am just tired of this whole argument. Women are adults. Women are free agents. Each individual can pursue any career they want and demand that their employer compensate them adequately or find a new employer. This is not some sort of humanitarian crisis.

At this point, peoples’ statements on the “data” usually just reflect what they thought before they looked at it anyway. This is not good, just an observation.
