vs this for women

the actual median income of full time employed women in 2019 dollars was $47,299

Essentially, men have been stagnant since the late 60s when you adjust for inflation while women have been skyrocketing up up and away. Interesting stuff. I wonder who's behind such a phenomenon.
Ignore "real" dollars in pic related, as it's inflation adjusted to 1993 when the data was published.
