Also doesn’t wage gap only really start to show its teeth in the dying upper middle class?

Like wage slave fry cook are like 8-10 an hour no matter what the gently caress bits you have and I know from previous partners that like nurses don’t have a gendered wage gap, it’s all experience.

My perception has always been that wage gap affects people in like finance related fields (marketing firms, financial advisory, publicity etc.) and things like entertainment (again, only the fabulously wealthy, like you get 6 million as a woman when a man would get ten million, cry me a loving river).

I could see it taking place in STEM because it’s such a famous boys club but isn’t that all highly specialized expensive work?

What lower class/middle class sorts of jobs feature wage gap? Teachers? Engineers?

I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, I believe it does, I just genuinely don’t know what level of economic adversity it actually begins.

It begins with literally any job that pays over minimum wage

You have an unusually broad definition of finance (PR?), but it definitely happens in STEM and by no means are all tech workers upper middle class. Most are making 70K in an expensive city writing marketing web sites or maintaining ancient bullshit. Similarly, most people in entertainment are scraping by, with women scraping harder than men. Paralegals, sales, theatre, basically any trade (including programming), advertising, accounting, etc. It’s present in many more industries than not, and in basically everything between minimum wage and “career-track” positions.

(Even in the minimum wage positions, it’s been shown that men are given more schedule flexibility and disproportionate amounts of extra work or overtime options.)

The Hulu adaptation of Handmaid's Tale is turning into absolute schlock, but I do love how one of the antagonists is basically one of those interchangeable Coulter/Kelly/Loomer type CHUD Barbies who got her way and has to face some of the buyer's remorse of actually going back to the "good ol' days."

She's fun to watch but if they insist on showing Serena Joy's backstory they should at least do it for Aunt Lydia too. Ann Dowd is awesome.

I know it's from a few pages ago, but the Nazi from NG was known about for months before they fired him yesterday:

Northrop was alerted to Miselis’ involvement in the white supremacist group at least as early as mid-May when the firm was contacted by ProPublica and FRONTLINE journalists seeking comment.

Great episode on brexiters totally owning themselves, Paul Joseph Watson joining UKIP as everyone leaves it with the best joke about him ever:

He's slightly taller on the bucket but would be significantly shorter off it. I guess they should have found a bucket about 4-6 inches shorter for it to be spot-on. The Bucket Grip clearly didn't bring the full toolkit.

E: oh no this is going to devolve into someone counting the pixels in the bucket and using trigonometry to impute relative heights i'm so sorry thread

I can see him skating on this actually bad-jacketing him with the accusation even more strongly and driving a wedge between him and some of his fellow goons.
