about the things that contribute to this gender gap. So I'd love to go over these, our four main myths, and take them one by one. So the first one is a very common one. We hear this all the time, that the reason there's a big gap is because it's a lifestyle choice. The women are choosing to not work as much because they are striving towards this perfect work-personal life balance.

But can you poke holes in that myth, please?

When you spoke about the difference in the pay structure then and how that changes, whether men or women are in the field, there's a great example that we have how certain tasks or procedures are compensated for. In urology, it's the difference between putting in a mesh synthetic sling for stress incontinence in a man and

versus the amount of money you make for putting in a mesh synthetic mid-urethral sling in a woman, which, by the way, was done in women way before it was done in men. And so it was a technique that was refined to fit the male anatomy, I would say, right? So it was in the women's world way before it was in the men's. But the compensation difference between those two are pretty outrageous.

Go ahead and tell us about that.

Yeah. So the other thing that you touched on a little bit, but in the same category with respect to what women are able to get during in their working environment compared to the men. And so a big thing that also can affect compensation is number one, you mentioned that they spend more time with their patients, but oftentimes they have less resources provided to them.

I don't know if it's an assumption or thought or aggressiveness on the part of their male colleagues, but just as an example, having more rooms in clinic, right? Or having more support staff or even having administrative assistant that takes care of more of the sort of menial tasks. The assumption is that the women can take care of their own menial tasks or be the one to do

Uncompensated work is their contribution to things in the department, right? Like plan the holiday party, whereas somebody else might be asked to write a paper and that helps them for their promotion. Me planning a holiday party doesn't help for my promotion. So those kinds of things really increase that gender gap as well.
