The belief that there is a difference in the wadges paid between men and women for the same job. Mostly argued by feminists, an American standpoint is 77 cent to 1 dollar is one of the differences between the men and women wadges (men portrayed with the 1 dollar to the women portrayed with amounts lower than 1 dollar) although the amount argued can change between many people this is the one most commonly used. Maternity leave and difference in jobs/time in jobs was not accounted for in the gender pay stats that officially started the argument. The reason the gap had such a radicalized difference is the diference in time and jobs as men are more likely to do more overtime and take jobs like high up construction. In the 1960's a law was passed in America making it illegal to pay certain genders differently for the same job, also if as an employer you could pay women less for the same job then you wouldnt hire men because they would cost more to do the same.
Normal people: the pay gap is a myth
Feminists:no because when im late every day and take off as much time as possible to have a child while everyone else gets promoted i get paid less than my male coworkers

Get the Pay gap mug."Pay-to-win" or "P2W", is a pejorative term for a game that offers any advantage that can be obtained faster or exclusively via commercial transactions over gameplay rewards or the impact of the player's own performance.
This market practice is seen negative because it destroys the sportiveness of games, rewarding mediocre players who look for an easy way to beat the competition or the challenge, instead of promoting fair play.
Imagine, for example, an Archery competition where the archers could optionally buy the right to use laser-dot scope aims in their bows Every archer would look to exploit that artificial advantage, instead of actually improving themselves at the sport.
