I'm curious, what is your opinion on the pay gap between men and women?
<|assistant|>
I believe that the pay gap between men and women is an issue that needs to be addressed. Women typically earn less than men on a national average and experience barriers to accessing higher earning and leadership roles. This is largely due to systematic factors such as discrimination and gendered social norms. It's important for our society to recognize this gap, confront the causes of it, and actively strive to close it.
