New Hampshire passes law mandating "equal pay for equal work." Employers immediately slash men's salaries to comply. Big win for women, yay.
It is not that women are lazy, they just are not willing to do the dirty work like what men are. This is by design. Men and women think and work differently.
Average wage of a garbage collector is around $43k...not exactly chump changedamm those rich garbage colectors...

Meaningless. The wage gap in controlled for equal work. It isn't comparing a seamstress to an astronaut, nor is it comparing a seamstress who works 8 hours to "a hard working male seamstress" working 10.
In equal work, hour to hour, job to job, a woman gets paid less.
This is exactly what I have read about it. When comparing between equal jobs and equal hours and equal tenure women still end up with around 6% less pay.
The more accurate answer is because men cannot choose to sell themselves out sexually for money like women can.
We have to make money to live.
Women just have to find a man making money to live.
I wonder if women bartender and waitress makes more than their male counterparts.

Not to burst your bubble, but not all variables can be accounted for in this comparison...for instance "equal work" is subjective, I have 13 coworkers who do the same job as me, some of them have even been here longer, and I make more than all of them, one of which is even a woman Hour to hour is not a good comparison when quality of output is considered, something that is not easy to quantifyMeaningless.

This issue would go away if government made child-rearing tax-deductable. It really is a full-time job and a lot of men don't recognize or appreciate that.

Barbara Bergmann: One of the problems with the minimum income is that it would probably result in women, more than men, leaving the labor force. And if you think about the increase in womens stature, that has really been almost entirely due to the fact that more women are in the labor force. So I think that would be a relatively bad effect of universal cash payments.
I really wonder how many women will take the time to read this thread or HuffPost article.
So, you admit that the whole 77 cents of the dollar thing is complete and total BS.
But of course we should take your word that 94 cents on the dollar is totally true despite your admission that liberals have been lying to everyone for years...
I don't believe I have ever claimed that the .23 difference is the only number that is relevant. Again the figure I read about is around 5-8%, yes that translates to $.05-$.08 per dollar. Women who work the same position, the same hours with the same tenure earn less.
I believe it. In medicine, it impossible to find a woman physician that wants full time work. They all want three days a week, and 6 months off for every kid they have. The male docs are happy to work whatever hours you give them as long as theyre getting paid.
So you admit that the commonly quoted 0.23 difference is complete BS.
The question then is why should we put any the 0.05-.08 figure? Especially when there are plenty of other factors not being factored in.
The .23 difference isn't a BS number its an average. That doesn't mean every job should have equal pay.

How about this I'm not going to ask for it or for it to be donated because at least its being used. Next year after your pay review tell your boss you want to give 6% of your gross pay back to the company because its not that much money and the company deserves it more than you do. Its only one year not a lifetime.
Do you understand what percentages are? Nobody has said that women NEVER do risky/labor intensive jobs, just that men disproportionately do them, which, among other factors, contributes to some of the pay disparity.Seriously women take on some incredibly risky jobs, jeesh, just look at nurses who work in hospitals on their feet for 12-14 hour shifts handling bodily fluids and dealing with very sick people. Their job is incredibly physical and very difficult. In addition you have women electricians, women who work on telephone polls, women who are firefighters, police officers. Women take just as risky and labor intensive jobs that men do. So it is really silly to say that men work longer, harder, and take riskier jobs because that is a flat out lie.
