Talk about sexist! NY Post seems to think that only men believe the gender wage gap is BS

It’s #EqualPayDay, and you know what that means: even more uninformed whining than usual about women being paid less than men. The New York Post is evidently eager to contribute to the misinformation campaign — by suggesting that those who understand the truth are the ones who are misinformed:

Many men think the gender pay gap is fake news: poll https://t.co/f7ZHT94Zj8 pic.twitter.com/bsOkcFCxbN

The latest U.S. Census Bureau data shows that on average women make 81 cents to every dollar earned by a man. However, a new SurveyMonkey poll of 8,566 American adults found that 46 percent of male respondents believe that the pay gap “is made up to serve a political purpose.”

About two in 10 men go so far as to check the poll’s “fake news” box.

…

So what do women have to do to prove to men the gender pay gap is real — publicize their paychecks?

Women will have to do a lot more than that to prove to men that the gender pay gap is real. Namely, create a gender pay gap in the first place. Because there isn’t one.

That's an odd way of spelling "know".

This is where you finish the sentence with "and they are correct."
