An ultra-conservative's views on this and that

Gender gap

As I walk around the office, my introverted nature causes me to notice the footwear of others.

What I see is the women,  as summer arrives, are wearing flip-flops & sandals.

The men?  Wearing sneakers, dress shoes,  or boots, the latter option being necessary for work at our test facility.

And what do I take away from that?  That of the work population here, the women would rather work in a comfortable office environment,  instead of having to wear uncomfortable and sometimes bulky PPE and work in the test facility.   Question:  should the men who are willing to work at the test facility be paid more, for the relative risks and discomfort?

If the answer's no, then why don't I see more women at the test facility?
