    Idk if this is a good source, but if it is then how can you really point to generally .99 to every 1.00 as a really significant issue? If you want to say that women aren’t getting the same opportunities for better job positions then sure that’s probably generally true. However I don’t think you can legitimately say that the adjusted/controlled wage gap is that bad. At least there are many valid arguments for why the unadjusted/uncontrolled wage gap is bad.

      I’m mistaken on that point then, though there is still a measurable gap. There is a large disparity in the “unadjusted” numbers which the article you sent notes is just as important as the adjusted one. It represents a power disparity. Ty for the correction

      Here’s another reliable source:
