Young women are now consistently earning more than their male counterparts for the first time, according to a report that warns of a social “crisis” gripping young men

Maybe DEI policies would help?

In all seriousness the impact of a male employment crisis is real not least in terms of deprivation and violence… including against women. It’s just it was never a crisis when women were paid less, it was *our* fault. Now this is women’s fault too!

Plus there’s this demand that women make ourselves smaller & poorer to protect men’s self worth… because men whose status is threatened can be a threat to women. When really, we need a class revolution.

Once when teaching about gender inequalities, a male student asked why women didn't rise up against men, considering all that men have made women suffer over the years

Sadly, yes to all that

I have rarely been more angry at reporting. "There's equality now and that isn't fair to men, who will probably kill women over it." With the implied solution that we should just go back to being less equal so the little babies can feel less threatened.

It’s so grim!!!

It's a repetitive trope. See general reporting of boys getting worse A Levels / Huggers. Always poor things threatened by bad girls. It's just now worked itself to the job market. Next will be demands women have more babies cos of fears re falling birthrate & Labour.

Now I'm confused!

Is it men or women who should be paid more?

🤪

And yet I show a bit of leg in the summer and get nothing.

See @manwhohasitall.bsky.social for more tips!

Suspect some dodgy data here. If 16-24 is it more girls with pt jobs? Research a decade ago showed similar followed by increasing pay inequality from 30. Playing to an interesting narrative?

Show a bit more cleavage ....

It always amazes me how quickly a problem.impacting men becomes framed as a crisis. It was fine for 50+ years for us to know but do nothing about the actual gender pay gap...

Brilliant!

So when men were being paid more than women for same role it was OK. But now it's reversing it's a social crisis?
