"13% of the population commit 50% of the crime" is the right wing version of the wage gap
@RehnSturm256 The numbers are real in both cases
@matrix @RehnSturm256 Except the wage gap is due to women working less hours, in less well-paying jobs, as opposed to actually being systematically discriminated against. Adjust for the relevant variables and the wage gap pretty much disappears.

@ChristiJunior @RehnSturm256 And the crime rate is due to blacks committing more crime. I know that.
It's the surface level interpretation of these numbers and group thinking that makes these statistics similar.
Meanwhile, the surface level interpretation (explicitly advanced by feminists) that women are paid 23% less than men for equal work, of equal quality, is not only completely false based on the statistics, but doesn't even make sense when viewed in complete isolation - if employers could seriously get away with paying equally valuable women workers 23% less than men, then hiring practices would look very different from what they do today.
