Using the Brain can, and often is, more tiring than using the brawn

Mental Work IS actual work.

Oh please! Let me GUARANTEE you that working with the brain can far more exhausting than working with your hands -

I don't know where you came up with this idea that brain work isn't work but, you are wrong

You need to start listening a lot closer to things that are said. Or do better research. You remind me of people who believe everything they THINK they hear and take it as gospel.

The gender wage gap has absolutely NOTHING to do with the difference between a CEO's salary and female part time employees. The wage gap was refering to men and women who are doing the SAME job but the men are being paid more for it, regardless of education or seniority. None of what you've stated has anything to do with any wage gap. And, just in case you didn't know this either, President Obama signed into law a bill to keep that from happening anymore. It was one of the very first bills he signed after his inauguration.

wrong. it's a myth from averaging all incomes and women choosing to go into lower paying fields like education.

You know, that's exactly what happened to my own generation. There were a lot of really good and decent men killed in Vietnam. There were over 58,000 good men and women...just gone. I never participated in any demonstrations back then but my sympathies were with the ones who did. I attended my share of sad funerals.

The Wage Gap Myth - Brief Analysis #392

Okay, I really quick read through some of that and, in some ways, they are right. But why would anybody lump jobs like being a CEO and a lower paid person together? That doesn't make sense to me. Same pay for the same job does.

Yup, lots of women ARE in and out of the workforce. They sometimes only work one job...SAHM...or sometimes add a part time job to that but when they are working 40+ hours a week they are basically covering TWO jobs. And they only get paid for one. In the end they are penalized for staying home to raise their kids till they are, at least, school age. For the last few years I've taken quite a few classes at our local community college, just because I like to learn and try different things, but you would be amazed at the number of single moms who fill that school. They are doing their best to upgrade and expand their skills so they CAN re-enter the workforce. They are doing a good job of it too. Around here there's not much argument about equal wages because we mostly DO get equal wages. But we are a small town so there aren't as many options either.

Anyway, I think things are better now than they were years ago but I don't see anything as being "perfect". I've been in the workforce for 45 years so I've seen a LOT of changes over the years. There are still inequities though and maybe there always will be.
