1/ Notes on pay & gender: I had a friend whose wife was an extremely competent, well educated lawyer & elite lawyer. But she would not ask for a pay rise. This is basically a problem for women because they worry about “fairness” & whether they “deserve” something. #GenderPayGap
8/ Most women will always be softer, more empathetic, less competitive (or rather competitive in a particular way not necessarily connected to work), more reluctant to be pushy. They’re more emotional than men, and that goes into pay negotiations. They’re worried about fairness.

9/ But this isn’t the fairness of the philosopher John Rawls or Kant. It’s a much more subjective emotional perception that can’t be generalised into an ethical system. Conclusion: women are often paid less than men bc of their nature + pregnancy.
