Except of course, that’s not what’s actually happening here… Besides the small little inconvenient detail that every news outlet reporting on this issue so far has either been (maliciously or incompetently) misunderstanding what this data actually means… There is still a much bigger issue… For a number of reasons this kind of statistical reversal is not really an indication of women getting ahead or even men falling behind… It’s instead normally the sign of some relatively serious issues across the entire job market, which means it’s only fair to ask if the same thing is happening here again…
