Men earn more than women in eight out of the ten most common jobs in Dutch small and medium-sized enterprises. The wage gap ranges from 3.7 percent for administrative employees to 14.3 percent for warehouse workers. There was no change in the average wage gap in these ten positions in 2023 compared to 2022. On average, men earn 6 percent more, the MKB Kennisplatform reported in the run-up to International Women’s Day tomorrow.
Absolutely.
On a side note, if we were to frame the inherent biases of feminist movement today vaguely as “matriarchy”, does it also not work against all men blindly? With “patriarchy” you have elites and white Anglo men benefitting exclusively. No matter what, non white men that are not 1% elite keep suffering and bearing the burden of societal struggles and selfish elite factions. What are we supposed to do, when feminists openly say men and their struggles are not their responsibility? Would non white men not want to protect themselves?
YES! Finally I hear something good. Radical and reactionary elements backpedal us from societal progress towards equality. Biases in academia need to stop, so that we can quantify society objectively instead of trying to force ourselves towards a particular end result.
