I agree wages should be equal but we have to remember that men and women are different when it comes to negotiations. I made this post earlier on in the thread.
??? Real wages for working class men have been falling for years; I've never seen feminists complain about that contribution to reducing the wage gap.
You don't see feminists complaining that men suffer over 90% of work related deaths an injuries.
You don't see feminists complaining about the female-dominated occupations where men are discriminated against.
You don't see feminists mentioning the BLS report that concluded that the wage gap could not be attributed to gender.
You don't see feminists complaining that men are now falling behind women in education.
The claims of feminists to be all about equal rights are entirely bogus. Feminists vehemently deny that they are interested in anything but equal rights, but yet they never address any areas where women are advantaged compared to men nor do they address any of the reports, surveys, or research that indicates anything but that women are victims. And even pointing this out is enough to get you labeled a misogynist.
minimum wage USED to be for teens, but not for perhaps the last 30 years. adults have been slowly crowding teens out of minimum wage jobs, about 49 percent of all min wage workers are over 25 and most are over 21.
welcome to the new economy!
We did not want to build much in the US....now, we have a service based economy....fewer everyday day can afford the services....it will get much worse in time.
I've been a professional auto mechanic since 1998.
In that time, I have never encountered a female mechanic.
Women will not do what I do.
Exactly and please never hire me to fill a quota. The fact is, I am good at things you won't be and you will be good at things I won't be, then there are professions we will both be good at.

If you were born before 1980 you might understand this subject better.
Why are you using the word feminists when this subject has nothing to do with them. This is a matter for your everyday girl who goes to college, gets a degree, then gets a job at a corporation and finds out her male counterparts who have the same job description and have the same length of service are getting paid over 20% more than she is. Tell me what is wrong with that.
