Every year feminist activists attempt to stir up a new controversy in order to fabricate public outrage and keep their agenda visible on social media.  In 2024 one such controversy was the supposed pay disparity (which they call the “gender pay gap”) between women’s professional basketball and men’s professional basketball. 

The notion of the gender pay gap has been thoroughly debunked in the western world.  The original theory was rooted solely on the average pay accrued by all men vs all women and was a statistical misrepresentation of reality.  When those numbers are broken down, the fact is that men work longer hours, they work more difficult jobs, more skilled jobs, they take less vacation time and they don’t have babies so they don’t need paternity leave.  All of these factors and more add up to a higher average salary for men vs women. 

It has everything to do with women’s choices and nothing to do with some nefarious patriarchal conspiracy to hold them back from success.

Because the overall gender pay gap argument has been destroyed and is no longer taken seriously, feminists then tried to search for specific examples of pay disparity in gender segregated professions.  Professional sports is one of the few venues in which feminists could present a male vs female one-to-one comparison and say there is a distinct lack of fairness.  Except, that argument assumes that male athletes and female athletes perform at the same level.  The fact is, they do not.

Women’s game performance and abilities are far behind those of their professional male counterparts.  They are two separate universes in terms of entertainment.  This is an issue which no one in the mainstream wants to address – The women’s games are mostly terrible to watch.

If it wasn’t for Caitlin Clark, no one would have watched. They only showed up for her games and only tuned in to her team. Even then you can’t watch a whole game because they play Jr. High School Basketball, only not that good.

Bill Burr is freaking hilarious, but says what needs to be said here, it’s worth the listen
