Clinton Foundation Pushes “Wage Gap” Myth While Paying Female Execs 37% Less Than Men

Rampant feminist hypocrisy which drives Hillary campaign in the spotlight again

While the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation is promoting the myth of the “wage gap” in the United States, the Clinton’s own foundation pays its senior male executives 37 per cent more than their female counterparts.

In a video promo for its ‘No Ceilings’ initiative, which was heavily promoted by YouTube and has since received well over 300,000 views, the Clinton Foundation enlists actress Cameron Diaz to claim, “In the U.S., women make just 78 cents to every man’s dollar.”

This is a completely fraudulent and debunked assertion.

As Christina Hoff Sommers documents, the “wage gap” constantly invoked by feminists, just like the campus rape myth, is completely contrived and falls apart when one drills down into the real statistics.

“No matter how many times this wage gap claim is decisively refuted by economists, it always comes back,” writes Sommers. “The bottom line: the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing.”

However, we can be certain that an even greater “wage gap” exists within the Clinton Foundation itself, where female staff earn just 63 cents for every dollar that male employees make, according to IRS tax filings reviewed by the Weekly Standard...

I get sick of this BS.

In my profession, you have preferential (less experience) hiring if you are non-white or female. The result is hired younger and therefore become more senior sooner which results in higher pay though out career.

Regarding the "debunked" issue: am I the only one who manages to be amazed at the flight from reason that has been taken by the vast majority in that even the most definitively debunked nonsense often manages to remain in circulation without apparent reaction from that majority? Just as in another thread where apparently the "Ron Paul is a racist" baloney is finding renewed circulation, it seems people are now so inured to outrageous behavior that they don't give it a second thought. That, or they are so intellectually and/or attitudinally bereft that they just cannot or will not yield a rationally sensible reaction.

How many times must we re-learn the lesson---politics does not run on logic, or winning people over with reason? What it actually does run on is emotion, propelled by demagogic rhetoric and constructs. The wage gap isn't supposed to survive rational scrutiny, its role is to play on female sentiment that men aren't fair to them, and reinforce women feeling they need government to protect them more.

We can eloquently rebut the substance 1,000 times (as Sam Francis used to say, like beautiful losers), but the wage gap as an emotional framework will remain solidly in place, until displaced by another controlling sentiment. This story about Hillary strategically does that, as it changes the meme context to "Hillary's a hypocrite on this issue." Disgust over hypocrisy replaces resentment over unfainess. Such a mood change short circuits her ability to demagoue the wage gap myth, and her incoherency should be played up wherever she tries to push the issue.
