The long read: The coronavirus pandemic has been disastrous for women’s economic progress. But inequality was baked into the system long before lockdown

Who would have predicted that on the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act, British women would be back in the home, up to their ears in dishes, dinners and nappies, watching their careers evaporate as the pay gap widens?

Define gender. Apparently there are over 100 of them. Must be a big spreadsheet

Why “gender”and not simply Pay Gap? Fix the gender PG, you still have a PG?! Fix “disproportionate pay” across all demographics, the PG goes away for everyone. Why the narrow focus? Fixing the gender gap does nothing for the grossly disproportionate pay amongst women either. Hmm

Imagine thinking that employers care about what's in your pants more than the profit they can make from your skills Show me a job where you can pay women less than men for doing the exact same quality and quantity of work, and I will show you an industry that is 100% women

Perhaps it's killing the men on low incomes, therefore average male income goes up.

Coronavirus Disproportionately Killing Men. Women Most Affected

Men are more likely to accept dangerous work. Apparently, this includes office jobs these days... and popping out to Tesco.

Apparently women are cheaper so now men are more at risk redundancy.

Women get paid more as models. Hope that helps your bisexual females with male issues.

Gender pay gap was debunked move on...

UK coronavirus live: NHS to launch Covid-19 recovery service to treat long-term effectsThe 72nd anniversary of NHS will see clap for carers at 5pm, as day two of lockdown easing measures take place in England So as a key worker 15 weeks or so after having covid, still struggling to get over it and manage a full week at work. My trust expect those in similar position to manage it using our annual leave. Compassion for patients but yet again NHS management lack of compassion for staff Some of us will be watching this extremely carefully. The medical profession has a poor record when it comes to dealing with post-viral complications - especially the NHS. The pubs must have one hell of a spreadsheet of names!!
