How do DHBs find out how many kids specialists have to pay mothers less per kid? Illegal to ask. Maybe supply-side factors are driving the gender wage gap?

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
