After a couple of lawsuits from Females that believed they are underpaid compared to their Male counterparts, Google conducted a study to see how much Women were underpaid, but found out they were actually underpaying many Male Software Engeeniers compared to Women with similar qualifications and similar work.

The Wage Gap debate has been going on for a long time and still continues to this day, (Australia, Male Female Pay Gap).
You can find videos even as far back as 1981 of Economists debunking the wage gap. Even found in the 70’s, depending on how you break the data, women being payed more. The wage gap is a nuanced topic, where in some jobs women are payed more and some males are, in which hours worked and small details needs to be accounted for.
Wage Gap continues to be debunked for decades (Warren Farrell, Why Men Earn More), but some people still believe that overall there is pay discrimination in our society against Women.
My question is why do you think that is? Why are some people so resilient that discrimination can happen to Males (as in this case of google), even when evidence is presented. Some people think that Males fighting for equity is a joke. Even when evidence does show areas of discrimination, why do they still don’t want to accept it? It is something I wondered myself. Using evidence I found, doesn’t always work, especially for a decades old topic.
