The Real Gender Gap: The Tax Gap

Judgey Bitch has an interesting post on the real gender gap: It turns out that (surprise) most taxes are paid by men:

Legions of feminists will ferociously type smash the patriarchy! at their Internet rallies, calling out for the end of the male supremacy in all spheres of life. Yet, few of them acknowledge the fact that one of these spheres, the government (the institution granting them rights), is entirely funded by male taxpayers. Economically, women cost more to the state than they benefit. The government is literally paying women to be alive. As such, strong independent women are only that way because the state is transferring money from men to them. Feminists are not seriously against being dependent on men, they are just against men having the full control over their money.

With the exception of the age group between 45-59 (a 15 year span) years old, women cost more to the state than the tax they provide. In contrast, men generate more tax revenue than they cost between 23 and 65 (a 43 year span). In the brief period in which women generate more or as much tax money than they consume, men outscore them by at least 3 times.

These charts showing the higher amount of taxes paid by men are more reason for men to go on strike and earn enough to get by without paying taxes. Or start some company that legally goes offshore to save on taxes. Why keep feeding the hand that bites you?
