Embracing the Full Spectrum of Empathy: Understanding Beyond Our Borders

In the intricate mosaic beam of human connections, it’s not uncommon for us to gravitate towards the familiar. We recognize ourselves in the faces of those who resemble us, find comfort in voices that echo our thoughts, and extend our empathy more readily to those within our own circle. This natural inclination, known as selective empathy, isn’t borne out of a desire not to exclude but form an…

New Blog Post here! - Thought on Being “Biracial”

Many biracial millennials feel as if they are caught is some sort of cultural limbo. They are asked, “which side…White or Black …Asian or White…(whatever combination) do you identify with?” and although many factors in my life would have tempted me to take sides, I do not identify more strongly with one side of my heritage as opposed to the other...

what r some of the reasons people believe there should b a gender wage gap?

I'm going to cite an article for this, since this is an extremely unbiased blog because of our rubric. According to this article HERE some of the reasons they think there 'should be' or 'there isn't' a gender wage gap is because:

1) women choose to have children and be mothers so they get paid less because of the expectancy of them settling down to have children. 

2) The fields that pay more are mostly male-dominant, which could be reasons from the fact that more men get hired from bias or because women just don't want those jobs.

3) They say that women will not go for dangerous jobs including things like logging or iron working, which are yet again male-dominant

These are three ways that people, including this article, say that women are in fact paid as much as men, or that there isn't a wage gap. But notice, one of the things they say is that it "almost disappears" almost meaning... you know, still actually there, which concerns me. Being almost there means women are still being paid less than men. Is it any more fair if the difference is 77 cents or 93 cents? Not exactly. And yet again, since there is a gap of percents between men and women's pay, should that mean that men and women have different taxes, especially on income? That's up to you to decide, anon. Thank you for asking, though! -M
