Of course, this just means women will have to pick up the tab. http://www.kgw.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D8OL74R82.html
"On Average," women work jobs that pay less than the jobs men tend to take. One of these days a study will come out that doesn't compare apples to oranges. They need to compare the wages of men and women working the same job for the same number of years.
These studies claiming women earn significantly less than men almost always have major flaws, mainly that the men and women compared do not have the same positions in the company, work as many hours, or have the same amount of experience. Why on earth would you pay a man to do a job when you can pay a woman to do the same job for less? Just doesn't make sense in a capitalist country. People care way more about $$$$$$$$ than sexism.
Hey look, five restaurants that I won't be giving any of my money to. I believe in the right of those restaurants to discriminate against me, and I believe in my right to discriminate against them. Can you just imagine the political and legal shitstorm that would materialize if a restaurant advertised that they were going to charge men less than women?
