Women's equal pay bill would "place unnecessary burdens on businesses"

p- oh, no question. They just produced less food. And of course biologically the species requires more females than males to produce offspring. Males are fertile 100% of the time. Females .... 10% of the time on average. Basic math.

cbelt,
So you, of course, are sharing your thoughts about the fairness of wage and employment discrimination against women with your daughter and your sister the physicist?

And make sure you tell your sister It is ok that she may be denied tenure because of her X chromosome toxicity! After all, she and her eggs are much less valuable to the tribe than your little swimmers.

You are a smart guy........ stop posting junk that that makes you look otherwise.

Actually, research has shown in many agrarian societies women were responsible for more food production than men. So, your statement is not entirely true.

The bill failed to pass in the Senate. Votes fell along party lines as you'd expect.

It was a lousy bill anyway. Too many exemptions.

I don't want the federal government exempted from penalties for discriminatory hiring and salary practices. The government should have greater liability than the private sector. It should set the standard for others to follow.

Don't forget mos of those women had the nerve to die in childbirth. Having a child is risking your life, and 9 moths of labor, vs 30 seconds of sex for men. Shouldn't they be paid more by the fact alone?

These alien 'woman' things are lucky they have you to explain why they're so inferior.

Do men earn more than women for the same work ?
Yes. Yes they do.

Someone didn't tell the White House,

"According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000)."

What you're paying for at White House level is somewhat different than what you pay for at work-a-day level, nice try at diversion though.

[Avenger]

What is different? You are saying if you are a woman and you are working at the White House then you can't complain. What logic is at work here and how can you be leading the effort while you are paying your own female workers less? I personally think it is exceedingly difficult to find two people who do exactly the same job. Even though the position may be the same, their duties may be different. Equal pay for equal work is fine and dandy but you are not going to be able to prove two people are doing "equal work".

You can't just post numbers like that without a breakdown by job skill. Of course a female secretary is not going to paid as much as a chief of staff.

The only numbers that matter are apples to apples job position comparisons.

[Avenger]

You are proving my point, Pam. How do you know the 77 cent figure thrown around has taken all this into consideration? We have dozens of secretaries that on the surface appear to have the "same" job. Look closer and they have different responsibilities. And what a coincidence? All of a sudden Democrats have discovered wage disparity 6 months away from election.
