The basic premise of the "wage gap" is flawed on its face. If women really earned 80 cents for every dollar that men earn, then I'd go out tomorrow, fire all the men who work for me, and replace them with women -- and drive up the profitability of my company in the process.

It's amazing how this obvious point never gets mentioned in these silly discussions about this subject.

Well maybe you aren’t as smart as you think you are, because obviously you don’t research. Maybe you should rethink your work force, if that helps your bottom line! Of course your type of job is relevant, for example...if you own an Alaska Fishing Boat, etc.

This issue is not a left or right issue, it just shows how the left pushing women’s rights in the wrong way has inhibited real wage growth for women in certain upper level positions.

The article is right and you should have read it... to understand the gap that still exists after all the billions spent to create an equality most women will never receive in certain areas and jobs. Nor should they, as some things are a man’s territory contrary to the spinners. I know my limitations, and that the upper body strength of a woman is not the same as a man.

Comparing apples and oranges never proves anything.
