    And it is the result of the test that decides the conclusion. A hypothesis is not correct nor incorrect, it is a educated best guess awaiting a conclusive answer.

    You are speaking from a position of bias.

    No, I'm quoting the study word for word.

    ...this study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers

    I do all the time and there are a lot of people including Barack Obama who claim there is a 22% wage gap that's the result of discrimination despite the complete lack of evidence.

    Evidence doesn't matter to feminists.

    There movement is politically correct. They can make claims without evidence. They can make claims in the presence of contradictory evidence even. They seem to have given up making claims based on bogus science. They've figured out they don't even need to create bogus science to support their claims.

    The AAUW has now joined ranks with serious economists who find that when you control for relevant differences between men and women (occupations, college majors, length of time in workplace) the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing. The 23-cent gap is simply the average difference between the earnings of men and women employed "full time." What is important is the "adjusted" wage gap-the figure that controls for all the relevant variables. That is what the new AAUW study explores.

    The AAUW researchers looked at male and female college graduates one year after graduation. After controlling for several relevant factors (though some were left out, as we shall see), they found that the wage gap narrowed to only 6.6 cents. How much of that is attributable to discrimination? As AAUW spokesperson Lisa Maatz candidly said in an NPR interview, "We are still trying to figure that out."

    There aren't more hateful people than Feminists which is consistent with a supremacist hate movement.

    There aren't people more hateful than feminists which is consistent with a supremacist hate movement like feminism or the KKK.
