Well i believe this is justified, women deserve less pay than men on average (not for doing the same jobs) before you all start burning your bra's, my reasoning is that in society there is only a certain number of jobs and of these jobs on average men get much more physically demanding jobs with much greater risks too their health and have to perform more over time whereas women tend to get easier jobs. Another factor is that any woman of child bearing age may need to have maternity pay also.
For it to be women getting paid the same would be blatant sexism.

Your statement is much too broad. "Women deserve less pay in the construction work force" MIGHT be appropriate. Yeah, it's true men are generally stronger and thus can do the work better on a construction site, but there are far too many jobs to simply say "women deserve less pay." Women are just as good, and many times better, than men in jobs that focus on intellect as opposed to brute strength, and it just so happens that "intellectual" jobs usually happen to pay higher than "strength" jobs
