Reader’s Comment: BBC presents the gender pay gap myth uncritically

Great article Laura thank you.

Now how do we get this out in the mainstream as the IFS study result was the first item on BBC Radio 2?

I groaned when I heard it, same old story.

But the rebuttal needs to be swift and gets no coverage, leaving the country with the illusion that this pay gap is some diabolical male plot rather than a result of choice and input, giving further undeserved leverage to the feminist agenda and potentially disadvantaging men further.
