Response tells where that 11 cents is

Statistics show women are paid 89 cents for every dollar a man makes. Or 93 cents. Or 78 cents. Or 79 cents. Do a search, find a number.

The column at Assistant Village Idiot was on Youth Softball. The writer said:  “I was a terrible coach myself. I thought, given my 70's college psych training, that the key was to treat the girls the same way you would treat the boys.  This is untrue. Several of the girls still talk about it 25 years later.” A reader asked: “What did they say?” The author responded: “That I hurt their feelings but they were  afraid to tell me.”

In comments, Texan99 wondered about the mettle of girl players who thought the coach was too hard on them. She said:

“Good grief. I suppose they had no idea how much they needed to learn to grow a little bark, so they wouldn't enter the adult working world expecting everyone to avoid hurting their feelings, and therefore completely incapable of being a productive team member instead of an emotional sinkhole. I know women who to this day have absolutely no idea how to broach the idea of getting a raise, or how to make a case for why granting the raise will be advantageous for the boss, not just for her personal needs.

“9/10ths of the complaints I hear about gender pay inequality can be traced to this problem. Guys typically are taught not to sit around waiting in resentment until someone notices their special specialness and rewards them for it.”
