Workplace Salaries: At Last, Women on Top

25. As a man, you are ineligible for most gender based scholarships

As a man, you are not a beneficiary of the money spent on the Women's gender equity funding provided by the Department of Education to schools.

90%+ of primary school teachers are women, so by the time the boys get to high school, they know that education isn't meant for them, so college is dominated by a 3:2 ratio by women.

For "everyone else" the pay gap is at most 5-7%, and even that ignores the effect that unemployment, incarceration, lack of education and willingness to negotiate for salary has on the result.
