#WarOnWomen: NBC Now Claims That "Pay Gap" Even Extends to Girls' Allowances
— Ace

Shockingly enough, this microaggression started out on the leftwing blog Think Progress and made it to NBC's airwaves in nothing flat.

A day after the liberal website Think Progress wrote a piece complaining Â“ThereÂ’s Even A Gender Gap In ChildrenÂ’s AllowancesÂ” the folks over at NBC rushed to tie the issue to the Â“pay gapÂ” between men and women.
On Thursday, April 24, Today show co-host Matt Lauer hyped Â“We all know about a pay gap that exists for adult men and women in the work world, but there are surprising new numbers this morning revealing that that gap actually begins during childhood with the allowances we pay our kids. In a new survey, 70% of boys say they get an allowance. ThatÂ’s compared to just 60% of girls.Â”

Co-host Natalie Morales expressed shock at the so-called Â“pay gapÂ” exists among children and complained Â“ItÂ’s true. Even though another study finds that girls spend more time doing chores. So basically, girls are doing more for less. This sounds kind of familiar right?"

This is based on a single survey by a group called "Junior Achievement."

By the way, NBC can't accurately report the numbers of this silly single poll. 59% of girls say they get an allowance, and 67% of boys. The differential (according to this silly poll) is 8%, not 10%, as they claim.

Shouldn't they sort of get simple numbers right?

Meanwhile, not only has socialist Sweden joined the #WarOnWomen, but they've been fighting it for years.

Consider Sweden, a country where the goal of gender parity is close to a national religion...
The results are not what anyone could call revolutionary.... [T]he difference in labor force participation is not dramatic, and in most respects, Swedish women behave much as sisters do in the U.S.
Like Americans, Swedish women work substantially fewer hours than men; they are 2 times as likely to be part timers. They are the vast majority of social workers, teachers, and child care workers and a small minority of scientists (PDF) and CEOÂ’s (PDF). In fact, SwedenÂ’s labor market is among the most sex segregated (PDF) in the world and their wage gap shows it. Mothers take in only about 20% as men, much the same as in the United States.
The results in other countries committed to gender role busting are much the same. Iceland has been crowned the most gender equal country in the world by the World Economic Forum (PDF) every year since 2009. They provide many of the same supports as Sweden. So does Norway, third on the WEF list and famous as the first country to institute a 40% female quota in corporate boardrooms. Women in both countries are well represented in parliamentÂ—about 40%. Yet the ladies still work fewer hours than their male counterparts and they are two times as likely to be part timers. They remain segregated in more traditionally Â“femaleÂ” occupations. Their mommy wage gap? About the same as Sweden and the U.S.

14 It's also sad & amazing that Junior Achievement has also sunk to the level of being a left-wing agitprop mill. When I was in school during the days of Ronaldus Maximus, Junior Achievement brought students together to do science projects and models of business operations. Apparently there has been a change in leadership since then, no? About par for the course in a lot of things since then...

17 ...the ladies still work fewer hours than their male counterparts and they are two times as likely to be part timers... Funny that the article/study doesn't say whether this is BY CHOICE or not on the ladies' part. Most working mothers I know CHOOSE to work fewer hours so that they can be home with their children. Yeah, I know it's an inconvenient piece of information, but there it is....

Well I blame women for this allowance pay gap.

Afterall what is the usual single parent home? A single mom. Therefore for their to be unequal pay it is likely coming from women paying their sons more.

22 What the hell was the methodology to that poll, presuming there was one? Because saying that boys get allowances but girls don't is meaningless without knowing if a family with both boys and girls treats their children differently. If a family with all girls gives none of them an allowance and a family with all boys gives all of them allowances, that tells you not thing one about if the parents of the girls would give a boy an allowance and the family of the boys would not give the girl an allowance. How many of those families have a single child? Why is there a presumption that all families should pay an allowance? Are children of a certain age given an allowance but others aren't? For example, a girl who is 16 and has a part time job is not given an allowance because she has her own job but her 7 year old brother is given an allowance because he's 7 and cannot have a job. Or, in other words, this is all insane bullshit.

60 The most pathetic part of all this is that a plurality of women in Europe and the US believe this patronizing War on Women pap.

Women haven't wielded as much collective political power since the matriarchies of pre-history fell apart. If society doesn't then correspond to the expectations of the majority of women the question we should be asking is whether these expectations are in fact realistic.

69 My dad had two girls, no boys, so I have no direct experience with this, but on the face of it I would guess that the boys would be more likely to be doing things like lawn mowing, which is a task for which parents might otherwise pay an outsider. As for girls doing more chores around the house, I suppose this is possible, but I think little girls are more likely to spend (by choice) after school hours with their moms, who might be doing things like laundry and cooking. So I'd be curious to know if the "doing chore" time being reported is on their own or with their moms. I used to like to spend time with my mom polishing the silver and setting out the good dishes for special meals. I wouldn't consider that a chore, just time with mom.

87 I've been typing, but the survey bears no resemblance to the conclusions and it's all just too stupid to comment on coherently.

Meanwhile, I would like to bring NBC's attention to the families where instead of an allowance, girls get killed by their fathers/brothers for wanting to dress like American girls and/or talk to American boys. This is way more disturbing than some families choosing not to give their children cash on a regular basis.

If they wanted more, we had plenty of jobs they could do to earn it --- outside of regular chores they were supposed to do just to be semi-civilized. Now, one of the girls did bitch about being paid much less to clean the (tiny) laundry room than her brother got to clear brambles off the walk. So I went socialist one time, paid them the same, and had her do the brambles while he did the laundry. Heh. Heh, heh.

125 By the way, NBC can't accurately report the numbers of this silly single poll. 59% of girls say they get an allowance, and 67% of boys. The differential (according to this silly poll) is 8%, not 10%, as they claim. Actually, that particular claim is correct. The differential is not in absolute percentages, but in relative percentages. To simplify, let's say that 1% of girls get allowances and 2% of boys get allowances. It is correct to say that the differential is 100%, because compared to the number of girls 100% more boys receive an allowance. Here it is 59 to 67, which is actually closer to 14% than 10%, but who cares. ( I know, I know, you were promised no math on the blog...)

The answer is: don't give children allowances. Allowances can instill a belief that one is owed something merely for existing, which is a bad, bad idea.

I never received an allowance, but I was paid for things like cutting the lawn.

134 The simplest way to show that the pay gap is 100% bullshit is this: If women only got paid 77 cents on the dollar all else being equal, no man would ever get hired for any job. It would be in the interest of every company to only hire women. BOOM!! You just saved 23% on labor costs.

They didnÂ’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didnÂ’t have nothing for their young girls to do. Continue reading the main story Â“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?Â” he asked. Â“They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And IÂ’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didnÂ’t get no more freedom.

178 I don't believe in allowances. Why train kids to be on the dole? I've got no kids of my own, but talked with a friend about his son staying with me for a while after he'd slipped off the path. I told my friend that the deal is: I will stock the house with food whatever else the son needs for one week. On his arrival, I will hand him a bill for the advanced supplies and a list of stuff he can do to pay for them and earn more. The rest is up to him.

Posted by: Damiano at April 24, 2014 09:11 AM (j0wOO)

179 I wonder also how many kids (like me) were explicitly told they don't get an allowance, but that it was a fee for service related to chores. Sometimes, parents just buy stuff for you that you want. If what you really want is clothes, they tend to do it. If it's toys, they want you to buy it on your own. The bottom line, though, is that you don't ask the kids, you ask the parents.

199 Speaking of the #WarOnWomen and those who are completely out of touch with reality... Fox News is about to launch what I can only presume is an attempt to capture some of the "The View" type of audience. The show will be called "Outnumbered" and will feature a panel of four women and one man. First: I would venture a guess that the women who are watching Fox News during the middle of the day are not interested in The View or soaps or Ellen or whatever else is running in the afternoon. Otherwise, they would be watching it already. Second: If they hope to capture some of the audience who are watching the aforementioned shows they are kidding themselves. Do they really think those who enjoy Whoopi and Babwa are going to tune in to FNC just because they offer a female oriented show? It's still FNC fer chrissakes! Third: Does anyone else remember the weekend experiment a few months back when Fox aired an all-female show? It was like listening to nails on a chalkboard. Worse! It was like listening to someone tearing paper. Slowly. It was simply ghastly. As with the NFL and their pink cleats and their Alyssa Milano designed jerseys, pandering to women will result in pissing off the loyal fans. I count myself among them.

200 What this boils down to is how parents define the money they give their boys compared to girls. I would guarantee that the 8% still was getting money from their parents but it was at a moments request rather than chores = $ = allowance. Please, show me a time where a little girl is denied anything from a doting father or mother for that fact? I certainly don't see the streets awash with girl children in rags playing with a piece of wood or scrap metal in the front yard all while male children are living in the lap of Mattel luxury.

A regular income, however small, allows kids to learn to tithe and to budget. It also lets you dock the allowance if they haven't done the bare minimum of cleaning up after themselves. (Hmmm, I guess if you make the allowance dependent on that, it isn't really a pure allowance/handout. So maybe we didn't give them true allowances after all.)

267 No, he *is* a public figure, thanks to his own actions and the people who chose to make him a symbolic hero fighting the Administration. No, he's not. Ask 20 people in your extended social circle if they've even heard of the guy. Most of them will say no. The rest will say, "Isn't he that guy from [State that probably isn't Nevada]?" Now, ask 20 people in your extended social circle if they've heard of, say, noted Homophobe Alec Baldwin.

275 If that's your take-away from what he's saying, you've bought into the left's lies.

He's not a politician, he's not a public figure. He's just a guy speaking his mind. The point he actually makes (about the destruction of the Black family (at the hands of Democrats)) is valid.

As for the... less than artful way he put it? Yeah, I'm going to disagree with Sven. Barack Obama is far more culpable for Oregon burning babies to create electricity than I am for a single word that comes out of Mr. Bundy's mouth.

282 Sorry, AllenG, but when he decided to cast his failure to pay BLM fees as some sort of protest against the Administration, he became a public figure. If I have a disagreement with the feds over fees or taxes, I'll use an accountant and lawyer to fight it within the system. I might even call my congressman and ask him to champion my case. But if I decide "Hey, I do not recognize the Federal government's authority over my affairs, so I'll just not pay them for a couple of decades" (because, after all, I have no legal case) and then they call me on it so I'll drag my neighbors and grandkids and pregnant women into some showdown -- I'm a public figure at that point.

283 According to Chris Hayes, burning carbon is the moral equivalent of supporting slavery... In Â“The New Abolitionism,Â” Chris Hayes of MSNBC observes that just as the end of chattel slavery meant that Southern slaveholders lost what they had come to understand as an income-producing asset, the fight against climate change requires that fossil fuel firms surrender their right to extract and exploit carbon. Â“So in order to preserve a roughly habitable planet,Â” Hayes writes, Â“we somehow need to convince or coerce the worldÂ’s most profitable corporations and the nations that partner with them to walk away from $20 trillion of wealth.Â” HayesÂ’ essential point is that the threat of expropriation is so potent that fossil fuel firms will fight it tooth and nail, which makes the battle against climate change truly cosmic.

308 Again. Here is the quote: Â“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,Â” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, Â“and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids Â— and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch Â— they didnÂ’t have nothing to do. They didnÂ’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didnÂ’t have nothing for their young girls to do. "And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?Â” he asked. Â“They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And IÂ’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didnÂ’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.Â” Pretty clear that he is a racist. You can hear how he demands to own slaves to feed his cattle in the hot sun. KKK!!!Confederacy!!ELEVENTY!!!

Posted by: Daybrother at April 24, 2014 09:41 AM (sKRGS)

309 The thing is, I'm pretty sure the reason that girls get less allowance, based on my experience, is that they are just outright given more things. I had an allowance when I was a teenager. My sister didn't. She just got money whenever she asked. I drove a Datsun 710 I bought myself. My baby sister was given a brand new Jeep Wrangler. And had her gas paid for. And when she ran out of gas on the road, as she did every 2-3 weeks, I got to go fill her tank so she could get home. I was actually expected to do stuff for any money I got, my sister not so much. According to that study, the fact my sister got no allowance, and I did, is some sort of inequality. Well, yes, but not the direction they think. I'd hazard a guess that many of those girls who don't get an allowance got lots of outright gifts. And they probably think they are still not getting enough.

312 This "poll" is the stupidest thing. It's ridiculous on its face. Only if you have a family with boys and girls, and those in the same age group do the exact same chores and have the exact same grades in school and have the exact same needs Â— and the boys are paid more in allowance Â— only then can you make this claim. Maybe. But every family is different and you just can't analyze families the same way you can analyze businesses.

314 This was an online poll per the PDF available from Junior Achievement, thus making the "survey" non-scientific to the point that you cannot even assign a percentage for sampling error. Meaning that the difference between 59% of girls and 67% of boys could very well be completely random chance. Yeah, good idea to jump to giant conclusions based on THAT.

315 Oh, and yes, this is indicative of the REAL problem this country faces, which is the complete and utter failure of the media. It is beyond the pale that a person who would even remotely consider themselves a "journalist" would take this one survey, handed to them by a liberal activist blog like Think Progress, and then run with it like its actual news. That's nothing short of disgraceful. And frankly, until this problem is solved, I will be shocked to see a Republican win a national office in this country. The media narrative is so far in the tank for Democrats that it would take a near act-of-god for them to lose. As if you need further proof than the re-election of the incompetent in chief, Obama.
