Your hypothesis may be flawed. The female workforce is higher than the man workforce.

Hypothesis #1 - The better paying "male jobs" are often very dangerous. A woman's ability to attract a mate has much less to do with her income than it does for men so there's just no reason to go into those areas.

Okay but the dangerous male jobs aren't the ones that are paying more by statistically significant factors.Hypothesis #1 - The better paying "male jobs" are often very dangerous. A woman's ability to attract a mate has much less to do with her income than it does for men so there's just no reason to go into those areas.
It's the financial sector and a few other sectors that really throws off the curve in favor of the men. And a lot of real shit jobs that throw the curve against women.

Many do. You can make good money as a roofer. You've just got an above average chance at dying. The same is true with logging, fishing, steel workers, other areas of construction, and so on. Those jobs are some of the most dangerous the United States has to offer in fact.Mist_sl said:
Do you have any idea the kind of sociopath you need to be to be a top earner in the financial sector? Women just don't have enough psychopaths to be well represented in that field.

Wooshed over your fucking head. We're not talking about differences in pay for the same job. We're talking about the fact that stereotypically female jobs just happen to pay less than stereotypically male jobs.

So was listening to Daniel Dennett's very good book "Breaking the Spell". At one point, he says that it is easy to fall into the trap of many sociologists and psychologists, of "insufficient imagination" once you have found one possible explanation for a phenomena.
Which really seems to fit my opinion of at least Mist on this. She has "the explanation", so rather than see a study that contradicts it or adds something to it and say "Hurm, interesting, maybe that is a factor", she instead says (absent of any proof of this) that they must be doing their statistics wrong.

We're just more willing to accept that women are capable of evil these days rather than ignore it/fail to believe it to be the case.

Also, since this is the feminist thread apparently, what is up with some of the feminist youtube channels seriously hating on atheists? Seems that atheism and feminism movements have much in common. Certainly religion is a MAJOR factor in discrimination against women and it seems that there is a direct connection between the more religious of a society to the less rights that women have.

Men got killed too.
The difference is that it was easier for a woman to be unorthodox than a man. A man was allowed to decide to be unorthodox. A woman would stumble into heresy through ignorance. A man also had more defensive support for his unorthodox behaviors and ideas. Because.... literally... Patriarchy.
You'll notice that I'm agreeing with you with the exception that I think the reason is different than what you assume. My ten second analysis allows for your observation and arbitrary's observation to both be correct.

Can you link to something? Something with numbers and such? This is partly snarky and partly because I find this stuff interesting
