Science DiscussionsThe conclusions of the study found that men with old-fashion attitudes about gender roles (traditional view) earn about $11,930 more per year than men who view women in the workplace as equals (egalitarian views). The Washington Post reports that this study shows men are also “victims of gender-related income disparities.” Women are usually the ones called victims of wage differences, traditionally the ones that make less money then men in comparable jobs. [The Washington Post: “Study Ties Wage Disparities To Outlook on Gender Roles ”] The Post article adds, “The study raises the provocative possibility that a substantial part of the widely discussed gap in income between men and women who do the same work is really a gap between men with a traditional outlook and everyone else.” Specifically, in an equalitarian (equal for men and women) workplace men earned on average $22,795, while in a traditional (not equal) workplace men earned on average $34,725—a difference of $11,930. In an eqalitarian workplace, women earned an average of $21,373, however, in a traditional workplace, women earned an average of $20,321—a difference of $1,052. Thus, men in a traditional setting, earn $14,404 more than women earn. In addition, men in an eqalitarian setting, earn $1,422 more than women do. The difference is almost ten times as great between the traditional and equalitarian settings. Women, on the other hand, still make less money than men do in either situation. Page two continues. |
