Nevertheless, when members of the media publish statements like "Women earned 77 cents for every $1 earned by men," I am saddened by the apparent disregard for "the whole story." In average, that figure is true. But, that is only an average and there are plenty of cases where women outearn men. Don't believe me? Great, check the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Read "Why Men Earn More" by Dr. Warren Farrell. The media takes great effort in promoting women's victimization because it sells and makes money. But, it is not the whole truth. In Corporate America, the truth is that women (and minorities) are given every advantage to succeed. By definition, men (esp. white males) are not diverse. Women are hurt by grand statements which promote their victim status, but men are hurt too because they (we) are seen as the enemy. All of us. I think it would behoove you to tell the world the complete story of women's vs. men's earnings. What have you done to promote equality? Thanks and God bless you.
