It is common knowledge and an obvious example of sexual inequality that men get paid more than women for doing the same job. One industry in which the reverse is true is modeling. The gender pay gap for male models and their female counterparts is gigantic. A well-known modeling agency has claimed that male models are paid as much as 75 per cent less than female models. Elizabeth Rose from the UK's Premier Models said women could be paid 40,000 ($52,000) for appearing in a top fashion show, while men could only get 10,000 ($13,000). Ms Rose said: "I think it's the only industry where men get paid less than women. It's unfair for men, [but] I wouldn't say it's female empowerment."

這是常識，也是男女不平等最明顯的例子，那就是做同樣的工作男性的薪資比女性高。然而有一個行業(yè)卻是相反的，那就是模特。男模特和女模特的薪酬差距非常大。一個知名模特經(jīng)紀(jì)公司稱男模特的薪資比女模特少75%。來自英國Premier模特經(jīng)紀(jì)公司的Elizabeth Rose表示，女模特出席一場高級時裝秀的薪酬高達4萬英鎊(5.2萬美元)，而男模特只有1萬英鎊(1.3萬美元)。Rose女士說：“我認(rèn)為這是唯一一個男性薪酬低于女性的行業(yè)。這對男性來說是不公平的。但是我認(rèn)為這是女性的權(quán)利。”

Rose says the situation is slowly changing and pay is getting better for men. She explained that advertisers are more willing to promote men's products as men are getting more into fashion. She said: "More and more, male models are being used for grooming products. Men are taking a lot more care of themselves. Generally, in the 2000s, it's fine to take a long time doing your hair. It's fine [for men] to use moisturizer [and] wear make-up." One consolation for men is that they are able to work as a model for longer than women. Rose said: "Men have a longer career path, definitely. The male models that make the most are probably in their 30s." Female models tend to make their money in their twenties.

Rose說，這種情況正在慢慢改變，男模特的薪酬也逐漸有所改觀。她解釋說，隨著男性逐漸介入時尚界，廣告商也更愿意推廣男性產(chǎn)品。她說：“男模特越來越多地用于美容產(chǎn)品推廣。男人們越來越在乎自己?？偟膩碚f，二十一世紀(jì)前十年，花很長時間來做頭發(fā)是很正常的事情。男人使用保濕霜，男人化妝都是正常的事。”對男性來說值得安慰的是，他們能夠比女性更長時間從事模特工作。Rose說：“男性的職業(yè)道路肯定更長。男模特賺錢最多的時間可能就是30多歲的時候。”女模特在20多歲的時候賺錢最多。
