Men and women are not equal; They are complimentary. God designed us this way for a reason. That’s not to say that there are not strong women and weak men, but on average, we are not equal.
In the eye of God, they are of "equal worth or value" (not referring to monetary value alone), but emotional, social, spiritual and physical/biological (the latter because you can't naturally reproduce unless both are involved). Yes, they are definitely "complimentary", as it was intended to be.
That said, on this material plane, if I were to be paid less than a male for a job I perform, and meet the same requirements & standards, and with the same qualifications, I'd be offended. Not for 'gender-inequality', but for not recognizing the same effort and value I add.
