ASHE SCHOW: A Modest Proposal For Closing The Gender Wage Gap. “Every reputable study suggests that working age women earn less than men mostly due to the choices women make in their careers. The scientists know this, the economists know this — even the White House knows this. And so I humbly present my own proposal for closing the gender wage gap, which I hope will not only solve the problem but also satisfy voices on all sides of the argument. As a society, we must begin telling women what subjects they can major in, what colleges they can attend, and what jobs they can take.”
This is brilliant. Of course, some individuals’ choices may be frustrated, but it’s for the greater good.
