Agreed.
When defending his ad-hoc approach to the prequels and tinkering with the original trilogy, Lucas said something about these stories being retellings of the same myth. So I think we can't even read too much into the episode numbers. Each trilogy is a different way of telling the same story, and each episode has some myth-retelling within it, as well. It's supposed to be all mixed up and ambiguous and repetitive, because that's how legends are. Thus, the fact that the events of one trilogy must precede the events of another doesn't mean they are perfectly accurate, in-universe continuations of the same story. The lines between canon and non-canon are intentionally blurred.
The same thing happens in the Zelda video game series.
Looking at it this way is the only thing that keeps me from getting too bent out of shape about things like "...another world-destroying space station that needs to be sabotaged by scrappy rebels? really?"

True but we live in a (capitalistic) society that tries to fit everything in it. And how do you solve it?

Be that as it may, the gender pay gap exists and presents far more interesting questions than any discussions about some hypothetical individual’s victim narrative
And I think you’re right to call out victim narratives, but I think everyone should be a bit careful of slipping into one. I think some people fall into this trap by inferring accusations that aren’t there in this discussion

True, but what I mostly see nowadays in society is to search for victims and perpetrators to correspond to a certain narrative, feminsim.
That's equality of outcome and the way it is done today, it is sexist again.
We should focus on equality of opportunity and the point I am making is that in western societies we have it mostly.

Also using the price of the products does literally nothing in terms of how much was used or how much Co2 produced.

Age is not a good indicator of how much time has passed in the Star Wars universe because different species age differently, and also at different rates. You can’t compare Yoda’s species for a human’s.

> Oh I think we agree on the fact that women preffered professions are paid less, even though not intentionally and that can be a meaning of these words.
That is literally the meaning of those words. Anything else is just a failure to understand what the term was even referring to.

Indeed. And, believe it or not, there are quite a few people who are not entirely convinced that that is the optimal situation for society or the economy, especially given the extremely high non-monetary value of these jobs.

If you don't like communism then there is a market price for your work. The market pays for work that was clasically done by men more.
