You didn't read the synopsis of the bill, did you, Avenger?
Matter of fact I did, but not the part you wanted me to read.
"Under the Paycheck Fairness Act, businesses would have had to prove that a wage gap was job related, rather than gender based, and women who sued for discrimination could be awarded punitive damages."
If you ask me this pretty much guarantees women not to be hired in the first place. Why subject yourself to lawsuits? Of course, the natural next step is to write a law mandating businesses to hire women. And don't think they are not thinking about it.
