One point I rarely see mentioned is that MOST (not all, but the vast majority) of men are expected to bear a much larger expense burden in families & relationships than women do, so one could argue that “men should theoretically receive more pay for the same work” as women do.
Not only that, but when they’re dating women, they have to shell out so much cash to get the goods - so to speak: Dinner dates, roses, ski trips, jewelry, nice car, nice house. If a man asks a woman to split the tab on the first date, he’s blacklisted! He’s EXPECTED TO PAY MORE than the woman. Always.
“so one could argue that “men should theoretically receive more pay for the same work” as women do.”
I would argue that the real question is one of women providing equal work for equal pay—Which in many walks of life is just simply impossible.
