No where does this article or the conference address the issue of equal pay for equal work. In the low paying jobs they mentioned men and women are paid equally, no discrimination.
When people make the decision to have children they need to understand that it is going to impact the type of jobs they will be able to do because they will not be as available to work certain types of jobs. This would affect the primary care giver which could be either parent (for those of you who have forgotten it does take a male and female to produce a child).
If a person choses to be a single parent then it is thier responsibilty to deal with the consequences of their choice. If that means they have to work at Wendy’s so be it, it was their choice – not mine. With all types of birth control available there is no reason for someone to have a child and expect someone else to pay for them to raise the child.
Hot debate. What do you think?

this simply has nothing to do with being a parent … being a single parent or having both parents at home … here’s a story from KARE 11 http://www.kare11.com/news/national/article/979241/18/Women-MDs-paid-less-even-at-same-jobs this shows WOMEN DOCTORS doing the same work making less … what this is saying is if you and I are BOTH working the till at Wendy’s … both hired the same day, both are always on time and both work equally hard … the male counterpart will still get paid more … no ifs, ands, or buts about it … the male will make more. in my profession men easily make 25% more then the female counterparts … I don’t have children at home, I have been at my job for over 15 years … I probably can out work and out last any of my male counterparts besides … my only problem … wrong anatomy. I understand I can ‘fix that’ if I would want, but why should I have to become a male to earn the same wages! this is just inequality … pure and simple!

The article and conference did not address equal pay equal work. It did stress low paying jobs that do have equal pay for equal work. It is obvious that they are attempting to raise the pay in these jobs to equal skilled jobs that pay better.
Again, many people who work these low paying jobs are there because of bad decisions they have made in the lives. They need to live with those decisions, not me.
Having worked at a variety of companies in IT provding project and programming support for various payroll systems I have seen the pay of both men in women working in the same field. I have not witnessed any issues of equal pay for equal work.

Didn’t like what boy? Man you just keep getting stranger everyday bac.
Tell me, why are you so obsessed with me? It’s like your a stalker who can’t get enough. Is you life so void of relationships that you feel a special attachment to me?
It is getting kind of creepy bac, seriously I am not your type.

No, I believe in equal pay for women. Your ‘type’ seems to want to keep them barefoot and pregnant. Well, barefoot anyhow.

I believe strongly in equal pay for equal work and experience. I also believe in a “pay range” for each position based on the individuals ability and willingness to do a great job so that they may be rewarded.
I disagree that someone serving food at a fast food place deserves the same pay as someone in a different field that required them to invest time and money in their education.
Everyone deserves the right to seek better pay but they are also required to do something to achieve it, better pay is not a right just because of your sex.

I never said those things bac but it does seem that you think about them alot.
Yes bac most women are prettier then me. Why does that bother you?
Many women are much smarter then me, all women are smarter then you. I appreciate a strong smart independent woman, why do they scare you bac?
You seem to feel inferior to women, is there something in your “relationship” with you mother that is causing this issue? Not everyone can make it through the night, even at your age, were you punished and forced to where you wet clothing all day? Did she secretly want a girl and force you to play dress up with her? Is that where you learned about using makeup? Or were your issues with your father?
I guess we will probably never know but I am sure we are all hoping that you seek professional help. Maybe someday the past will be just that, the past.

Holy cow, what an imagination!
Or, is that all your imagination, elton? That thing about mothers really sounds more like the voice of experience. If so, I really do pity you.
That kind of thing isn’t something the normal adult male would bring up, ya know? Unless it’s something that’s been working on him?
Maybe that’s why you have such a problem with women earning the same as men in the same job? Or did your pater instill the idea in you that men are just worth more in the marketplace because they’re the ‘providers’?

Interesting that you chose not to answer any of my questions and it took you almost a day for you to respond. Hope I did’t cause you to have another breakdown but I can see how in your case they can be frequent and easily triggered.
I am sure there has to be someone out there who cares….

You remind of the kid who keeps poking the dog with a stick then goes crying to mommy when the dog bites you. And then goes back and does again. A total lack of sense.

What is century tel network bac?
Let me provide you with a little info here bac, you have to join a network on linkedin in order to show up in it. Kind of like joining a group on Facebook.
BTW, how come you haven’t hit my Facebook account yet? Can’t figure it out?

Actually, here by the lake, I kind of enjoy hearing the loons. Especially in the evenings…
Anyway, back to the topic. What reason is there that any man would feel superior to any woman because he makes more money for doing the same work as any woman? Or, why would he WANT to?
Because he has some doubt as to his own masculinity?

Seems like some people who posts their version of the “truth” never seem to have the facts to back their version.

bac, looking through the comments, you were very definately the one who started the personal attacks on Elton, with your comment about linkedin. So if you want it to be a more civil discussion, why don’t you be the first to stop making personal attacks?

Reading the article in the link, you would think that the very women waging war on the pay gap, would have their own female staffers paid as well as the men. However, lets not forget not everyone’s job is the same so maybe it has to do more with an employee’s personal worth to their employer!!!
