If females were, paid as much as male counterparts you would have a valid point concerning feminism however, females are typically paid less and in dismal economic environment, they are hired.
Quoting: SilverPatriot Add to this the fact that women now outnumber men in college (almost 60% females versus 40% males now, with female enrollment increasing and male enrollment decreasing) and one can see that for the younger generation at least women who get an education are being MORE financially rewarded than men.
If you want to say that someone who works 30 hours a week does NOT make as much as someone who works 40 hours a week ... well you are probably correct.
If you are going to say that someone who works in a job with little physical risk (say receptionist) does not make as much as one who works in a dangerous job where the risk of being seriously injured or dying on the job (think iron worker or drilling roustabout) then you are correct.
Once you adjust out for hours worked
For dangerous versus safe jobs
For years on the job working
then the earnings difference actually swings IN FAVOR of women.
