Actually I just saw a show about that last night and women consistently make 70% of what men do doing the same job.
Or is this a conspiracy theory leaking onto prime time television? Oh the lengths people will go to to present a false version of reality!
Actually, it's a show about an old claim that's seldom true anymore. Look at fire fighters, cops, military, temps, servers, etc and *all* make the same wage regardless of what's between their legs. There may be some small corner of the job market where the 70% bullshit is true, but it's by far not the standard any longer.
And as a caveat, I say that even if it were still true....considering the old-fashioned way that men are expected to pay for dates, buy the ring, etc....it comes out pretty fair in the end, especially when you consider the story I saw when the recession was in full-swing that said men were being laid off in far greater numbers than women. This means that you must ask yourself -- would you rather have the perception of making more money, or would you prefer better job security? Apparently in a shitty economy, you can't have both.
