Who fucking truncates their percentages?

Simple math tells us that the landslide winner was "Did not vote."

Thats awesome, but thats also not the final count

I believe the final count was 228/290, which is also 78% roughly.

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 3

232/306. Again the joke was funny regardless

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

So 76%. Still right in it.

Closing the gap! Used to be 77. Now they are almost to 79. Progress!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Actually its widened because now Trump has 306 to 232, so 75.8% XD

Death of progress haha

the difference is that the wage gap doesn't exist while the electoral gap does

There is a gap but not nearly as wide. This helped me understand it a bit better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it0EYBBl5LI

Yes there is? Even accounting for the different jobs thing, there's still a gap.

You feminists and your numbers and reality. Here's a woman saying otherwise, using some out of context statistics. Take that, liberal.

Easily explained by lifestyle factors. Women are offered the same pay for the same jobs.

there's still that rule 34 thing that I saw

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

~4%. BLS figures. We should get rid of this 4% difference, yes. We should also stop trotting out the false 74-78% figures.

When accounting for all relevant factors, women make aprox 2% more than men in major U.S. cities.

Source for this? My gut instinct is that this sounds like statistics fuckery.

http://content.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,2015274,00.html I include marriage as a relevant factor bc it affects women differently

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

It's also specifically for young women too, between 22-30.

Not when you take into account overtime hours, time taken off and employees asking for raises, which women statistically don't do as often

9 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 7

Okay? And you don't wonder why that might be?

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 15

Statistically, men offer to work more overtime and women offer to not work as many hours. Women also statistically ask for raises less often

9 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 4

Yeah, I'm asking why you think that is.
