Gender Pay Gaps & Self-Deception: Why So Many Women Are Free Activists & Volunteers

"While the gender pay gap is unfortunately legal and a very large aspect of our corporate culture, there exists other smaller yet mighty reasons for why men are paid more than women.

Men demand to be paid: literally and also figuratively, through the ways they approach life. In turn, many women want to be loved, accepted, or acknowledged through free labor. Attention is that important to them. That, or they expect everyone to approach them about compensation, promotions, raises, and additional responsibilities that result in a higher pay bump."
