As of today, New Zealand women are effectively working for free until the end of the year because of the 8.2% gender pay gap.

Based on that gap, the average Kiwi woman is paid 336 days for the equivalent of 366 days for men, according to the Ministry for Women.

For example "foreigners aren't from here, so they don't belong here" is a simplistic take with a simplistic conclusion which is able to galvanise a good portion of society.

This isn't even a strawman, it's like an entire fucking straw city.

Is it really that difficult to understand an example of a bad simplistic take to drive home the fact that simplistic representations aren't good?
