When all factors affecting pay are taken into consideration, such as type of work, education, time in the workforce, etc. there is very little difference between women and men's salaries.

In the free market, when all choice factors are included, women make about 5% less than men. In general, with wide deviation at the individual level, women's brains are about 10% smaller than men. They're aren't 10% dumber but definitely the brain cell count and processing power is less. If you look at MCAT scores to get into medical school, women consistently score about 5% less than men. There you go, women in general make 5% less than men because on average they have 5% less mental firepower. Outside of government jobs, employees aren't paid for breathing, but for thinking.

Holy crap, I wish you had directed that post to someone else.

Hey, great business model idea folks! I'll start a business, and all my employees will be minority females, who work at the same work output as their white male counterparts, and I'll have a 5% competitive advantage on every other business out there!

I wonder why no one has thought of this? Perhaps because

IT ISN'T TRUE.
