Even if they have the same job it doesn't mean the do the same job. For a while I was stuck working on a help desk. We were all "help desk analysts", we all had the same job, but some people clocked in at 9, out at 5, and took their 1 hour lunch. Some of us worked harder, longer and more consistantly. We succeeded and moved on.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, full-time men clock an average of 45 hours a week, while women put in 42 hours. Men are more than twice as likely as women to work at least 50 hours a week - that's why most CEOs are male. Only in a socialist economy do employees get paid the same, regardless of the number of hours worked.

And Chris, you never answered my question earlier - if a company can hire a woman to work for 75 cents as opposed to hiring a man for $1.00, why are there any men in the workforce? Wouldn't they hire all women to gain the financial advantage over the competition? It just doesn't make sense that for a quantifiable work product, companies (and not just a single company, because you believe this is a global anti-woman conspiracy) would deliberately pay more just to have a man do the work. How much would a company have to hate women in order to be willing to eat a 25% increase in costs just to have more men on the payroll?

Statistics show that women and men with equal experience and qualifications, doing the same job, for the same hours, under the same conditions get paid the same. And this is coming from Warren Farrell, who was elected three times to the NOW Board of Directors in NYC.

I can't change your mind. I can only present you with facts (real facts, not New York Times "facts"). You can continue to deny it all you want. But remember, denial is the first step to recovery.
