The so-called "gender pay gap" has been a talking point for decades, but when examined critically, the claim falls apart. The idea that women earn less than men for the same work is not only misleading but completely false when you factor in career choices, work hours, and personal priorities. In fact, in many industries, women are making far more than men, and nowhere is this more evident than in the modern digital economy.
The OnlyFans Pay Gap: Women Are Crushing Men
Recently, an interview surfaced featuring female OnlyFans creators who admitted to making an average of $60,000 per month—a staggering amount that most men, even in high-earning industries, could only dream of earning. Even the best-looking men on the platform do not come close to making this kind of money. If the gender pay gap were a legitimate issue, why do women dominate and out-earn men so dramatically in this space? The answer is simple: the market rewards choices, not gender.
The Truth About Wage Disparity
Studies show that when controlled for factors like education, hours worked, and career choices, the pay gap between men and women virtually disappears. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the often-cited "women make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes" statistic fails to consider these factors. When comparing men and women in the same field, with the same level of experience and hours worked, the wage difference is negligible or even in favor of women.
A 2018 Harvard study found that in jobs where earnings are based on commission or productivity (such as real estate, freelancing, or social media influencing), women often out-earn men because they are better at leveraging social engagement and branding strategies (Harvard Business Review, 2018).
Women Choose Different Career Paths
One of the biggest factors influencing income differences is career choice. Men tend to dominate high-risk, high-paying fields like oil drilling, construction, and engineering, while women gravitate toward flexible, lower-risk careers such as social work, education, and psychology. These choices naturally impact income but are the result of personal preferences, not systemic discrimination.
Additionally, women are more likely to prioritize work-life balance, leading to fewer hours worked on average. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), full-time working men work an average of 42 hours per week, while full-time working women work 36.5 hours per week (BLS, 2023). This alone accounts for much of the supposed pay gap.
The Real Gender Pay Gap: Women Earning More in Influencing, OnlyFans, and Corporate Leadership
While feminists continue to cry foul over an outdated and misleading statistic, they conveniently ignore areas where women significantly out-earn men:
Influencers and Social Media Stars – Women dominate platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and OnlyFans, where top earners bring in millions annually. Even in traditional media, female news anchors often earn more than their male counterparts due to higher audience engagement.
Corporate Leadership – When young, single, and child-free, women out-earn men in major U.S. cities (Pew Research, 2020). In many industries, companies actively pay women more due to diversity quotas and incentives.
Divorce Courts and Alimony – The financial imbalance in divorce courts favors women, with men overwhelmingly required to pay alimony and child support, further shifting the economic scales.
Conclusion: The Gender Pay Gap is a Myth
If the gender pay gap were real, companies would only hire women to save money on salaries. Instead, the reality is that income disparities result from individual choices, career preferences, and market demand—not discrimination. If feminists want true equality, then they should be demanding fairness in areas where women are earning more than men, such as OnlyFans and influencer marketing.
The real conversation shouldn’t be about a fabricated pay gap, but rather why modern feminists continue to push a narrative that doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. The truth is simple: Women are not victims of wage discrimination—they are making choices that impact earnings, just like men do.
