Women and payment?

[Adagio]

Why is there a difference in the wage between women and men? If they are hired to do the same job, shouldn't they also get the same wage?

I know lots of women who works harder/better than the males at their working place, but still they get less payed than the men...

Why's that? If they work harder/better than guys, then why doesn't they get more money than them? Or atleast the same amount?

Don't start this again. It's enough trouble persuading some people here to let them join a golf club.

Performance should determine compensation. Not gender.

Women deserve more. Don't you agree Agathon?

You mean that golf thread was about this? I just thought it was about golf, not about which gender you are... I didn't look at it, since I'm not interested in Golf...

That's alright, your joke probably wasn't that funny anyway.

Two entirely different things. Equal pay is the only way to go here.

Of course, you'll argue that they should be paid more because men are pigs.......

ACK!

You're implying that men aren't pigs??? Clearly you're a racist!

Nice ambiguity there.

Isn't the cause of the gap in a large part that women take time off to have children (or it is feared that they will) and this affects their career prospects?

I know people say that having kids is a choice a woman makes, but if they all stopped we'd be pretty screwed as a race. Given that they don't get paid for the socially and economically useful act of having children, something ought to be done.

Perhaps you should change from ACK! to OINK! TB.

Especially the ones that grope women in gyms.

Whatever happened to

"From each according to his abilty, to each according to their needs."

So the pay should depend upon the relative needs of women and men, should it not?
