Not an accurate way to report this data, but I won't deny it's a real occurrence. But do I support affirmative action to equalize pay? Not until there's data showing that women receive lower pay specifically because they're women.

There's already plenty of evidence that discrimination is a big part of the problem. Regardless, even if all that evidence was false, and women are simply mentally inferior at working at jobs, laws to stop what little discrimination there would be couldn't hurt.

I'm not saying they're mentally inferior, but what I'm looking for is data that shows comparably (too much to ask for equally?) qualified men and women in comparable (equal?) roles with comparable responsibilities still supporting the wage gap. Again, I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but there are so many factors that need to go into this, and for every study saying the wage gap is real, there are others refuting the data.

Edited by Dustin: 4/10/2013 5:44:00 AMAs you said, finding that kind of data with so many other variables is really tricky. I'd like to know what harm these kinds of laws would cause to companies or males or women themselves for bills to help target discrimination. If the laws are passes, and nothing changes because there was no problem, what harm occurred? Because if it is discrimination, then it is a really big issue isn't it?

[quote]Because if it is discrimination, then it is a really big issue isn't it?[/quote] Absolutely. I don't even know what kind of laws would address it though. I'm very wary of mandatory wage regulation and equalization though. I'm not at all educated to address these problems, so I won't attempt to presume to know how to do so.
