I see the gender pay gap lie is rearing its ugly head again. As usual, the parties spreading pernicious fibs deliberately mislead people and ignore key factors.

Women have babies and then tend to want to spend time with their infants, which means they do less paid work than men. Aggregate result: men earn more money than women over their working lives. What is unjust about that? Normal part of life and based on peoples choices. 

These liars are so obsessed with the idea of equality for its own sake, that they do not give a damn about what people actually want in life, including most women.

Headline: Little change in gender pay gap over past 25 years, study finds

Average person sees headline and thinks: "gosh, women are being treated so unfairly!"

But read further in and what we find is bizarre Marxist utopianism that most people wouldn't agree with or want. For example:

"The researchers called current policies "inadequate" because they "implicitly accept traditional gender norms", taking it as a given that women are in charge of childcare which they said has kept society "trapped in a bad equilibrium"."

No! Those gender norms derive from biological facts and are based on what couples decide to choose for themselves and their families. Note how these idiots see families - being autonomous and strong units - as a bad thing. There are couples where men stay at home more than women to raise children and that is fine if they prefer it that way. 

Of course, the demand is that governments do more to force change on companies. So expect such action from this weak, brain-dead government and any Labour equivalent. Then more rubbish foisted onto companies.

Naive people can feel all warm and cozy inside at the thought of these rainbow targets and making the companies more diverse and "representative". But these artifical objectives, which are espoused by narrow minded extremists, come at a cost. They make our companies and economies less efficient and productive. In the long run, we all end up poorer, and that will include the average woman.

Let's leave companies to choose the best and most talented staff unhindered, to drive their competitiveness, and leave people and families to make their own choices about private matters.

And it is high time that we see more questioning of lobbyists like the IFS and less crappy "research" in the first place. I hope public money hasn't been spent on this damaging tripe.
