The determination should be based on performance and not by broad gender assumptions.

Likewise women probably shouldn't be firefighters as lack of strength can actually endanger people... BUT... if the woman is a bodybuilder, stronger than the average male- shouldn't that be an exception?
I was using my personal experiences, and I have yet to meet a female tech that performes at the same rate as the weakest male. I do, however, agree with you; if she can do the same job, she deserves the same pay. I also think that any man who can't perform to the same standard should also recieve less pay.
