You have to love the web sometimes. Where else can you find someone who will tell you that women should get paid less than men because "periods cause mini-strokes and they call out for work often because of having periods"?

Minor strokes from having a period isn't common. Your argument is ridiculous. May as well talk about how men get too drunk on Sundays watching football and call out so they should get paid less.

Listen to what you are saying though. It's ok for women to suffer lifetime lower wages because they are the ones who sacrifice to make sure humans are having kids? And menstrual sick days? Have you ever been near a woman?

Well, the MAGA ones are at least. The gap looks better when you account for job selection etc. but it's objectively a real gap. Having kids is a huge reason for it from all I've seen. The woman is the one who usually sacrifices their job growth for babies/young kids.
