Would lowering the minimum wage for men only fix the wage gap?

The minimum wage is so low that it's not a living wage. Both genders should be treated equally, and our government needs to do something about the fact that quality of life here is going to ****. Corporations are socially irresponsible and greedy, they exploit their workers and all these CEO type assholes are getting rich off the labors of the little guy, they spend all their time swinging a golf club while the employees are laboring in the trenches and getting paid in pocket lint. I would be such a good president, but it's too bad I can't be pres because I plan on skipping the country as soon as I get a chance lol! :)

I don't think that's the right way to go. Both genders should be treated equally and have equal rights. They should both have the same minimum wage. It is not the fault of companies or the government(in most cases) that women get paid less. Often times, for whatever reason, women seek after the jobs that pay less(only because they like the work). Perhaps we could make it that the jobs women often seek after are paid more, but I don't know. Really, women could go after jobs that pay more, such as being business owners. As you can see here https://www.census.gov/econ/sbo/02/cosumsof.html men outnumber women in the business world still by quite a bit. I think this is mostly because most women do not want to run businesses, not because they can't do it.

NO. The standard of living makes the minimum wage different depending on where someone lives. In Calfornia, the SOL is much higher. If it were standardized for all, then more people would be poor and/or unemployed living off welfare.

Women get maternity leave, unfortunately it's not paid in the U.S., but they still get it. Their job is secure and they get any benefits that they should obtain had they still been working if not having the baby. Men do not have this. There will be never be gender equality, though I think they should improve many aspects of it.

You would have to lower it to $3.00 per hour to convince these cheap corporations to hire more people. They wouldn't hire more people, they would pocket the extra money. The only thing that will fix the wage gap is by closing it. Maximum wage.

It might increase the number of jobs, but I don't think it would do anything for the wage gap. Short of paying women during maternity leave or fixing pay rates I don't think the wage gap can be fixed, but as I asked you before, why does the wage gap need to be fixed?

That's the most rediculous thing I've heard since making a flame retardant suit out of gasoline.

Most people on minimum wage are teens like me. I don't think I deserve any less for what I do and it wouldn't fix the gap.

Men need to be shown how worthless they are since they're too pathetic to demand fair treatment. So I think what should happen is any time a man makes more money than a woman, his salary is subtracted and the rest is divided up to the women, until all the women make more than any of the men.

Only a very tiny fraction of the working population works for minimum wage - and most of them are teenagers for whom the minimum wage is most appropriate.

So, even if there were a wage gap, this would not correct it.

No.

Giving men paternity leave and expecting that they would take roughly half the time off required to do parenting duties would go a long way to closing the gap though.

I endorse the opposite. Men should make more because its tied to their attractiveness. Just how women spend more time in the washroom. Men spend more time at work.

This is why women will never beat us. We have nothing. Nothing is handed to us, sex is not free for us. We gotta grind to achieve anything.

Women don't need to and thus never evolve like us.

Power is tied to our attractiveness not women's
