MASTERS MOMENT: The One Where He Says Women Are Paid Less Than Men Because They Don’t Do The “Dangerous Jobs”
PHOENIX — Welcome to today’s ‘Masters Moment’ — a daily opportunity to shine light on Blake Masters’ out-of-touch, offensive, and disqualifying beliefs and opinions.
Over the next 25 days, the ‘Masters Moment’ will be your number one source for all things Masters. While he attempts a desperate pivot to hide his “fringe,” “extreme,” and “dangerous” ideas, every day we’ll be releasing the audio and video to prove, in his own words, who Masters really is – and that he’s a risk Arizonans can’t afford.
Today’s moment, where he calls the gender pay gap a “left wing narrative”:
Masters: “Look, women are not paid less in America than men, it’s a left wing narrative. This gender pay gap, when you control for the occupations, when you control for people taking time out to, you know, birth children, things are actually pretty equal. And men do the most dangerous jobs. Men are the ones who are the police officers, (At the Center for Arizona Policy American Leadership Forum, 2/5/22).
