Gender Gap In Doctor Pay ???

A doctor in Texas has accused his female colleagues of laziness. You can read about it here:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/03/texas-doctor-sorry-gender-pay-gap-fair

My primary care physician and endocrinologist are both women. One has her own practice, while the other is part of a group. I suspect the "independent" one makes more money than the one in group practice, but I have no idea whether that is true.

The above report repeats this claim:

"These kinds of views … are not supported by actual data."

If that is correct, then show us the actual data. I suspect there isn't any. And if there isn't, why would a male doctor have such a view ... just because he's a man? I thought doctors were scientists and not ordinary humans, but I guess I was wrong about that, too.

By the way, it is my belief that the gender pay gap issue is serving as a smokescreen for the REAL pay gap issue: that which exists between We the People and the 0.01%.

Divide and rule, people. Divide and rule.

Happy Labor Day.
