And her insurance company was happy to start declining her claims for exaggerating for attention.

This joke is proving why the gender pay gap isn’t real. In the age of private equity and cutting all possible costs, you don’t think they’d swap all the male employees for female to save 30% on labor cost?

The research found that the great majority—some 80%—of the total pay gap between male and female earners in part-time and full-time roles was attributable to the differences in the way men and women pursue their career paths....
....One third of the work-experience pay gap is due to women working fewer hours than men, because they are more likely to be in part-time roles. Women are also more likely to take breaks between jobs, and they stay out longer each time. Combined, this results in women gaining an average 8.6 years of work experience for every 10 gained by men.
The other two-thirds can be traced to career dynamics. This starts early: Just over half of all men in the sample entered the workforce in top-pay quintile occupations, compared with 35% of women. And then the pattern continues. Women are more likely to switch to lower-paying occupations and roles during their careers.
Even among men and women who start off in the same occupation, women were 1.5 times less likely to move into top-paying occupations. For example, among those who started as brokers, women were apt to move into roles like credit counselors, and men into highly competitive—and better-paid—roles like fund management. In nursing, a woman-dominated profession, the patterns are similar, with 41% of men advancing to higher-paying occupations, such as medical and health services managers, compared to 20% of women.
In short, the data found that women consistently make trade-offs, choosing roles with more flexibility and less competition but also lower pay. Not all women, of course, or all the time, but often enough to make a difference.

Yeah I’m sure it’s the women choosing to make less money and have fewer opportunities. If only I’d thought of this sooner! /s

If only half baked comebacks actually countered real data. If you can't comment on the merits of the article, consider saying nothing?

Try thinking about the subject for like 5 seconds longer instead of copy-pasting this decades old take.

I don't think anyone actually believes women are paid 30 percent less than men given there have been a million studies disproving it and some even done at Google that reached the conclusion that they overpaid women and minorities. It's just a joke on a common trope, albeit a lazy one.

As a trans woman, I love that. Transness is such a rich source of comedic material beyond the tired transphobic r/onejoke

I feel like I’ve heard slightly different versions of this same joke a dozen times
