      It’s not a settled issue on which all economists agree.

      Well, it doesn't make much sense to wait until all the economists agree, and only then work for pay equality. In the meantime, we should support both the economists AND the activists in their work. Both are vital and important.

      When working for “equality” it makes perfect sense to work put if “inequality” exists in the first place.

      We know inequality exists. It's the causes which are not entirely clear.

      How do we rectify anything without addressing the cause. And we only know that that there's a difference between group averages as far as outcomes go. Why does that matter?

      Replying to @omniai @cjbanning and

      This is the reason why I had those words in quotation marks, it is not inequality in and of itself, in all shapes and forms which has to be rectified but inequality stemming from discrimination.

      There has to be some cause for inequality, though. And people are acting as if innate differences were the null hypothesis, rather than the demonstratum to be proven.

      Cole: do you think "innate differences" pay a role in determining which of these two can lift more? Or is it all about identity?pic.twitter.com/1Gd06oyRJR

      Replying to @RogSat @tjaffry and

      It stands to reason that when you separate individuals into groups based on physical characteristics (genitals) there will be statistically significant differences in physical characteristics (strength). Higher burden necessary to establish non-physical differences.

      No-one is suggesting non-physical differences! What would that even look like? There are differences in brains and hormones which make differences cognitively and psychologically. You've been sent much evidence for this and seriously, how could there not be differences?
