The entire pay disparity meme is a lie. The only difference in pay between men and women doing the same job is the woman’s employment decisions. Either she sat out the job market while her children were young or she chose a job that traded flexibility for lower pay.

Exactly.
Decide to not continue your education in your field.....because you are ‘only supplementing’ your husband’s income.
Decide to have babies & become a continuing ‘drop out’ of the employer’s recorded seniority records.
Decide to leave during working hours for children’s doctor’s appointments & such, leaving an empty desk.
I am female. I saw many women using all of these decisions for years & then complaining that I got promotions & pay advances.
I didn’t have any children.
I got further education.
I didn’t miss work.
I never had to ‘bring a doctor’s excuse if I called in sick because I rarely called in sick & my bosses knew I wouldn’t do so without actually being sick.
Because I lived alone, one boss actually asked me if he could get me anything-groceries- medication- etc- because he knew I hated being sick & didn’t have backup at the house to run such errands.
He was a very tough boss, but was a very fair one, also. I would go work for him again anywhere if he asked me to do so.

You’re absolutely right; the gender-warmongers apparently think they should still end up on the same salary scale. I can’t tell you how many women I work with who easily work almost an hour less each day than their male counterparts. In our current legal atmosphere, they aren’t just paid the same, but sometimes even better.
