Isn't this likely because men have been doing less market work and women more market work since about 1970 or so?

Well we don't know what the units are on the Y-axis so I don't know how we can compare the two graphs together.  Median income for women grew from basically nil, so their graph is going to look a lot nicer.

Secondly women do NOT make more money than men.  So knowing that I can't figure out what the y axis units are in absolute terms let alone compare them.

We need more information.

You seem to need more information about how to read graphs, because you're not making much sense, I'm afraid.

Just because you can't comprehend my question doesn't mean there is a problem with me.

The y-axis is on both graphs is calculated from different base units.  Therefor there is only so much comparison that you can do between the two.  Someone with an analytical mind would immediately notice this problem and ask for more data.
