Talking about gender pay gap is ridiculous. Most women and men lives together in marriages and they basically share the same budget to rise kids.

Is this article a spoof article? I’d like to see links to the actual study.

Find this incredibly biased, there are deeper inequalities that are preventing women from not entering jobs that are higher paid

Stop harassing young boys Guardian.

Lol you’re done now.
