The gender pay gap according to the liberal left

Hi All,

Beth- works as a waitress  for £9 per hour  and works 33.5 hours a week, flexibly and on shifts as she has children and is primarily responsible for getting them to/from school and taking them to the doctors when ill. She's happy with this arrangement.

John- works for £9 per hour and works 45 hours a week, flexibly and on shifts. He is the primary bred winner and is a waiter. He is happy with this arrangement.

Liberal left world : There is clearly discrimination going on her. John earns more than Beth!

Voice of sanity : Huh? They both get paid the same hourly rate....

Liberal left world : No it's sexist discrimination . John earns more than Beth per week ! Gender pay gap!

Voice of sanity : But, but that's because John works more hours than-

Liberal left world : Sexist ! Beth should get the same pay as John !

Voice of sanity : But she works less hours....

Liberal left word : It's the only way to reduce inequality and prevent women being treated badly by the system.!

Voice of sanity : But that means an inequality for John and is being discriminated against

Liberal Left world :  That's okay. Providing Beth is not discriminated against and is being treated equally.

Voice of sanity : But she isn't ... oh never mind. Nice weather we're having...
