How will the free-market protect women?

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

Women STILL get paid less for the same work. How in the hell would a free-market be any better if there is no protection for them?

Prove it.

That's nonsense. I was just having this conversation with my favorite escort and she informed me that she takes home exponentially more than her male counterparts. Especially during depressing economic periods.

Wrong. There is no evidence behind any of your assertions, ever, is there? That sucks.

The only one worth following is the one who leads... not the one who pulls; for it is not the direction that condemns the puller, it is the rope that he holds.

seriously what do you get out of posting here kylio?  you learning anything?  You arent coming up with intelligent responses or anything.  Have you even read an Austrian Economics book yet?

if your assertion is true, that women get paid less than men then how is that because of the free market when we are not operating in a free market?

how do you expect a free market to work when in commie Russia millions die!?!?!?!

Of course, you use a biased source.

Of course, you haven not proven the assertion in your original post.

That video doesn't even have sources. For one; more girls are actually into mathematics now than he gives credit.

Again with more assertions based on nothing but your great knowledge. Come with research or sources or something at least. And I guess since I used a "biased source," learnliberty.org, I expect you not to use any biased sources, like anything from a .gov or anything affiliated or funded by government. Time to put up or shut up, I'd say.

Please site the source(s) for your assertion that 'more girls are actually into mathematics now than he gives credit'.  Please qualify the implied comparison between X and now, links please.

Thank you kindly, bro yo yo.

Women still get paid less for work? Where are YOUR sources?

Oh and when you say that he used a biased source, what qualifies as a non-biased source? A government website? The CBS website? You must be specific.

Thomas Sowell thoroughly refutes this and hordes of other myths in his book Economic Facts and Fallacies. You should read it.

You'd think all these sexist men would pay women more so they can have the chance to sleep with them, y'know trying to hint to something, maybe they are making less because everyone's getting friend zoned, who knows.  I figure the market will protect them by selling them guns.

I had always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way. - Carl Jung, Man and His Symbols
