If you’d fleshed yhat out into an actual argument you’d likely have realized that you’ve no leg to stand on. The only way that carries over for a conparison, regardless of your conclusion/evaluation is if the numerator (the total amount of income) is larger for men than it is for women such that the denominator (the number of people in the partition) cannot make up the difference. If you’ve got six pears and your parents have twelve, then you’re equal on pears. If you’ve 6 lemons and they’ve 20, they each have almost 2 lemons for every single one you have. Ratios are designed for meaningful relative comparisons given that the dimensions/units on both sides of the relation agree. Their rational components are not.
