As of today, New Zealand women are effectively working for free until the end of the year because of the 8.2% gender pay gap.

Based on that gap, the average Kiwi woman is paid 336 days for the equivalent of 366 days for men, according to the Ministry for Women.

    I feel like the simplistic representation is the right one here.

    Life isn’t simple nor is this issue. Nearly anything can be misrepresented if boiled down a simplistic view. For example “foreigners aren’t from here, so they don’t belong here” is a simplistic take with a simplistic conclusion which is able to galvanise a good portion of society.

      This isn’t even a strawman, it’s like an entire fucking straw city.

        Is it really that difficult to understand an example of a bad simplistic take to drive home the fact that simplistic representations aren’t good?
