Well woman usually don’t get paid as much so like say there are two construction workers, a man an a woman the man would be getting payed about $2,000 more than the woman and it’s really dumb
Because of the past views on women being subservient and less than, they weren’t paid nearly as much as men, weren’t allowed to work in more physical based labor, and weren’t able to reach as high in status as men. Although, times are finally starting to change and the glass ceiling has gone away in some companies, or has been raised. Women are starting to be paid more, though it’s still not equal to men.
