… women are still frequently paid less for the same work,…

That's in one of the comments in the article, and it irritates me. This line is frequently used, but feminists ignore the fact that many women get paid the same salary as men while relying on a man to get the job done. I've observed this myself in various jobs I've held over many decades. Women who ask me to lift heavy items into place, although it is supposed to be one of the job requirements for the title they hold. Example: racking servers into equipment cabinets. Women who ask me to do dirty tasks that are supposed to be job requirements. Example: pulling wires through under computer room floor tiles. Etc. Men get threatened with being fired for not doing tasks that women are given a pass on for neglecting the tasks. I wouldn't care except they spread this stereotype of getting less pay in some instances without showing offsetting examples.

They take more time off too, plus most of them refuse overtime.

If it is narrowed down to the exact same job and the exact same effort/number of hours, women get equal pay.
