WIA- I never said anything about the percentages- just pointing out that the op is substantiating th belief that men and women are earning different amounts, which I'm assuming is the definition of pay gap.

And like I said, feminists will agree with you and say that any difference exists because women are not encouraged to take those jobs when they are growing up, not because they are weak or lazy.

Exactly. It's the same as talking to slippery socialists. Even if you prove their argument to be wrong, they always shift the argument onto something else to fit their narcissistic world view. You will never win and the victims never change. I just sent the article to a male feminist (yeah I know, I really shouldn't bother). His response:

About the pay gap, well maybe a man and a woman in the same position roughly make the same these days but that still doesn't change anything about the fact that women are usually the ones stuck with the kids and thus unable to build careers like men tend to do. So society is pushing women in lower paying jobs. Just look at the cashiers in supermarkets. 90% female.

Apparently free choice doesn't exist in 2014. Women are being forced into lower paying jobs! It's evil conditioning! Women are just as good at maths and science but aren't encouraged to pursue those subjects at school because of the patriarchy! Engineering is a men's club that discriminates against women! Ad nauseum...
