How can we stop female choice from discriminating against women?

[darvell]

Female choice is maintaining the raw wage gap between men and women, meaning that men continue to earn more than women on average, but not necessarily for the same work.

How can we counteract the pervasive misogyny in hundreds of millions of individual women, so that they make better (read: "higher-paying") choices for women as a group?

Women on average currently take too little risk of death or injury on the job, seek too much comfort and personal contact, and work schedules that are too short, flexible, and convenient.  They could easily trade some of those benefits for higher earnings, if we could make them want to.

Just sayin.

We can't, and that, in part, adds to the continuing debate surrounding the mysterious "sex-based" discriminatory wage gap.

In a free economy, we can't force all women to become neuro-surgeons and CEOs and all men to "Study" to become secretaries [these are just common, convenient example. I'm in no way encouraging Feminist activists to fight for quotas for women among neuro-surgeons or CEOs]. Therefore, the wage gap, as we perceive will always exist - at any point of time in the future. That is, as long as the ability of an individual to choose an educational/career path for her/himself is an option, a choice, this issue will exist.

What kind of solutions can we offer?
? Pay the neuro-surgeon and the secretary the same wage?
? Force all women to become neuro-surgeons?
? Force all men into becoming secretaries?
? Prevent people from lying, twisting, massaging, and exaggerating wage/income statistics?

We all know 3/4 of the ideas listed above are idiotic, and 1/4 is ideal, albeit being impractical. I'd rather prevent people from falsifying reports in order to promote their anti-male agenda, than give them quotas, wild-card entries, and affirmative action measures to "bridge" a gap which wasn't because of s-exism, to begin with.

I didn't mean to star this question, it's not that interesting.

I don't believe that the gender gap is due to sexism. I think that there are thousands of women who choose to stay at home as mothers.

Also, and I think this is the BIGGEST factor, women weren't encouraged to go to school a few decades ago. Because of that, all the old CEOs who make the most in companies are more likely to be men.
