A clever piece of twitter bottery
Scans corporate accounts for Women's Day support tweets and then goes and finds the gender pay gap for that company and tweets that.
Egg on lots of faces

Nice, and it's not all bad news

In that example they may get paid more
but I bet they still struggle to get lids off jars.

It's been keeping my piss nicely boiling all day.
Although the Young's Pubs figure of 73% dates from the middle of first lockdown when they only had about 38 people. Still...

Obviously they're constructively comparing the same job role
And not just taking a cheap shot to rile people up and be cool?

Given that equal pay was supposed to happen decades ago, so what.

To be fair, he has a point.
Dave might be in Procurement making £40K a year, while Janet might be a Buyer and on £26K a year.
Or maybe Dave and Janet are both in Procurement, and Dave has been with the company for 10 years, while Janet only started at the end of last year.
I'm not suggesting for one second that sexual/gender discrimination doesn't exist in the workplace, but this bot is making the problem seem far more severe than it actually is.
There's research to suggest that women are generally less likely to negotiate a wage rise than men. Maybe that's down to perceived/actual discrimination in that workplace, or perhaps women are just less likely to be as proactive/assertive as their male counterparts.
I'm sure that when it comes to stay-at-home parenting, it's still overwhelmingly the mother that decides to cut back on their hours/take an extended sabbatical from their chosen career. Not saying they should be penalised for that, but you certainly aren't going to make much in the way of progression, either.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm in no doubt that I'd be on a significantly smaller salary than I am now if I hadn't negotiated for raises during my annual reviews. I'm still to meet a Boss that has offered an employee more money without any kind of prompting.
I'm sure somebody will trot along on their high-horse at any moment to berate for for being a massive sexist, though. Oh well,

For a centrist you have very predictably right wing views on everything.
Where do you stand on abortion?
I'm curious because being anti-abortion seems to be one of the pillars of American right wing radicalisation, but it's a hard sell to those socialised with British values.

It has been shown
that if men take an extended time off work, when they return they are penalized more than women for a similar gap, as far as wages and promotion opportunities are concerned.
It's also true that, up to the age of 30, the median wages of women are greater than that of men.
It's only after a significant portion of them leave work for an extended amount of time to have children that the wage gap appears.
All of these are true statements. Read into them what you will. My apologies if any of these facts cause dissonance with anyone's chosen world-view.

Women's lifetime earnings are less than men
largely due to childbearing being an exclusively female role. However. if men take an extended time off work it could be because they went to jail, or took an extended holiday (sorry "went travelling": I am a traveller, you are a tourist, they are trippers).

Testicles are only 0.08% of the average male bodymass
which means they are being overvalued by approx 37x

seriously though

If women are being paid less than men
for the same job, you can report that to the police because it is illegal.
My wife recently wanted to reduce her hours working, so she could do more 'quality of life' activities.
I reminded her she was an agent of the patriarchy and contributing to the problem of women having a lower median wage.
She laughed and then got on with her day. I love her.

Hahah, great stuff
We need more of this sort of thing every time that some fuckwitted PR person wants to hijack a social justice campaign for cheap publicity.
