There's not really any evidence needed, all the time on TV commercials, there has to be a male in a professional sport advertising. Since these people are so popular, a lot of companies use them to drag in their customers to purchase their product.
High income earners likely are substantially educated, have high-status occupations, and maintain powerful social networks.
According to the "American Dream," American society is meritocratic and class is achievement-based. In other words, one's membership in a particular social class is based on educational and career accomplishments.

Not exactly. Especially when it comes to sports, you see on commercials famous basketball players such as LeBron James and Kobe Bryant who get paid millions just to be in that commercial. When the famous male superstars in sports such as basketball, football, and baseball sign with a company like Nike, or under Armour, they get paid millions on the contract. On the other hand, in the Women's NBA, they're barely and fans at the game, the most high-paid player get 1 million a year and they have no commercials, and barely sign with huge companies. The most high-paid player in the NBA gets paid close to 30 million a year!
Yes, I totally agree with you. Studies have shown men have the tendency to be more hard-working then woman, which allows them to have higher salaries. You also have to understand, woman have responsibilities when it comes to cleaning, cooking, and taking care of their children. While men aren't exactly responsible to work around the house, only working hard and providing the food and care for the family.
I strongly disagree with your statement. Yes people who work hard should be rewarded, but what about the other people who have worked so hard and still their reward is grass for their blanket and the sidewalk for their beds. Sometimes Life could just have negative affects on hard-working individuals who really deserve the reward.
Yes, most definitely the U.S. has a class system, especially when it comes down to poverty you hear the upper/rich class, the upper middle class, and the lower/poor class. Honestly, our federal government should do something serious to fix this problem. It's not fair to the poor individuals on the street that fight everyday just to get one more second to live on this earth. On the other hand, we treat the greedy high upper class with much love and support. Millions VS. 20 dollars, seriously we need to fix this! Overall, I believe this is a great issue that needs to be resolved become we're causing the deaths of many innocent people!
Yes Deniz, I agree very much about what you're saying. It's truly not the government fault anymore, they did all they could do It really comes down to the choices women make, our economy is not sexist. Women are thought to being looked down upon on economic standards but that's because of them quitting and taking care of their families.
Women and men are by far unequal in the American society. Men are physically stronger and more demanding when it comes to job opportunities, which makes men have higher paying jobs than women. You see men with jobs such as engineering, business and computer science. With women, it's more likely to see them in jobs such as nurses, and teachers. Secondly, men have more full-time job opportunities then women. Women tend to take part-time jobs because they eventually want to be the stay home moms that take well care of their children. While men on the other hand, don't have to require that responsibility resulting for more work and higher wages. Lastly, men are more likely to be in big sports such as basketball, football, and soccer while they get paid millions a year! On the other hand, women who participate in these sports only earn thousands a year. Overall, it doesn't come down to if our economy is sexist but the choices and sacrifices women have to make to better their lives.
