Since a higher percentage of women are going to college than men now I think we are going to see a change and women will start to make more.

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.

The point you make needs some refinement - let me help
Equal pay for equal work
I can support that.
I employed accountants and pay them equally - no preference to gender race or religion -
The only point of difference - individual merit.
No dispensations for period pains or need to raise children - same as men get no dispensation for staying at home to look after children whilst mom is delivering new ones.
Employment is Employment - not a social club.
Employers are not responsible for an employees social welfare or family choices - and nor should they be.
An employer should be seeking the best individual to perform any job - regardless of gender etc. |
I agree with this. There should be no bias for the same job.
