Statistics is just that - statistics. It may be relevant to a specific person and it may not.
And then, there is politically correct and incorrect statistics.
I just heard recently, that in some field(s) (maybe only one), the male salary is about 10% of the female salary. The reason that I did not hear that before is because it is politically incorrect statistics, female must be earning less, period, right? I know that girls achieve and focusing on inequalities is simply counterproductive. Use what you got, stop admiring what you do not. Males and females are not equal (thank goodness!), they use different approach to most things in life, they are different creatures.
