Newman: So it seems to a lot of women that they are still being dominated and excluded, to quote your words back to you.
OK... so male domination - a subjective experience of 'a lot of women'- is a complex issue.
Quote:Peterson: It does seem that way. But multivariate analysis of the pay gap indicate that it doesn’t exist.
Newman: But that’s not true, is it? That 9 percent pay gap, that’s a gap between median hourly earnings between men and women. That exists.
Peterson:
Yes. But there’s multiple reasons for that. One of them is gender, but that’s not the only reason. If you’re a social scientist worth your salt, you never do a univariate analysis.
You say women in aggregate are paid less than men. Okay. Well then we break its down by age; we break it down by occupation; we break it down by interest; we break it down by personality.

The first 'it' doesn't exist refers to the 'it' which is in red. [/quote]
ah ha...so frank claims "it" refers to the subjective experience of oppression, not the the gender pay gap on average.
Quote:What does exist is the 9% gap (which was not the 'it' in the first line). That gap exists BUT NOT because of the 'it' but due to multiple reasons, only one of it is gender and NONE of it is the 'it', the domination and exclusion of women.
Ok, so both you and Peterson admit the gender pay gap on average exists, even if Newman is barking up the wrong tree (ie, "male oppression").
So what are you going to do about the gender pay gap...and the black gap....?

No, Great Sloppy Muddle, the pay gap exists but is not due solely or even mainly to gender, so it is not a 'gender pay gap'. Do try to be a bit discerning and pay attention to what is actually said and not always rush to parrot your tired cliches and slogans.
All sorts of other pay gaps exist, none of them are due to a single variable like gender.
