“Today, women still earn on average only about 75 cents for every dollar a man earns. That’s a huge discrepancy.”

Is is just possible that 50% of the population is female and of those working perhaps up to 50% of the female work force goes in and out of pregnacy? Might that detract from their continuous earnings, say compared to a male who stays on the job everyday of the year, year in and year out for their lifetime?

Not to mention that salaried males are generally expected to work very long work weeks that females with children aren't, so men are compensated with larger salaries for more work done but the calculation is only done assuming a 40 hour work week so the comparison isn't fair to begin with.
