As of today, New Zealand women are effectively working for free until the end of the year because of the 8.2% gender pay gap.

Based on that gap, the average Kiwi woman is paid 336 days for the equivalent of 366 days for men, according to the Ministry for Women.

So you're saying the simple formula actually measures the complex factors of upbringing, social perception, and opportunity.

You're right! This figure represents a serious inequality in the upbringing, social perception, and opportunities presented to women. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    "So you're saying" followed by nothing of what I said.

    I feel like I'm on twitter... If you like replacing other peoples words with your own, just have the discussion in your head. It'll save us all a bunch of time.

    Okay, so you're not saying that women's career paths are determined by inequality of upbringing, social perception, and opportunity. Drag is trying to understand. Can you explain what you actually meant to say, and whether you agree with the statement even if you didn't mean it?
