PART 2 OF 3- CONTINUED

Let’s be honest. We all KNOW that women make less than men (and minority women make even less than white women). In an imaginary world, even if the 78 cent statistic wasn’t completely accurate, we still KNOW that there’s a disparity. And disputing the *numbers* is akin to me telling you, “my neighbor takes down his pants and shits in my front yard every day”. And you telling me, “actually, he doesn’t shit in your yard on the weekends or National Holidays.” The dude is still shitting in my mother fucking yard. And if I went and shit on your garden gnome, I bet you’d get it.
And then there’s any number of other arguments including that men are doing more work, getting higher levels of education in higher paying fields, don’t take off for maternity leave, are generally more aggressive in their careers, or any number of other things that people might say to justify the wage gap. The problem with that is that in an enormous amount of cases, women are less likely to be given an equal shot at their careers as men are.
And it doesn’t take statistics to prove this; young girls who show “executive leadership skills" are more likely to be chastised for this, and called “bossy” then boys are. This starts very young and certainly doesn’t help their chances of wanting to pursue leadership positions or be a strong force in the classroom (and later, in the workforce). The U.S.’s paid maternity leave policies are potentially the least helpful of any other developed nation, which does not help mothers #leanin to their careers. And with such small numbers of states and companies supporting paternity leave, it sure makes it hard for fathers to stay at home with their child and allow the mother to focus on her career if thats the path they choose.

Now I'm not saying that women shouldn’t take time off from working to be with their newborns or that they shouldn’t even be full time stay-at-home moms if they want to. What I’m saying is that we need to give women an equal *chance*, from the start of their lives, to pursue their careers aggressively and without hesitation.
