I understand that Dana, but in the case of this argument in general, men are viewed as the root cause of the problem. Men hold the power so men get to decide who gets paid how much.

I don't necessarily agree that women should be paid equally for jobs that are different but take the same amount of time to learn how to do. In some cases this is true but not in all. I happen to think teachers in general are definitely underpaid for the services they provide to our society, however, I don't agree that all teachers should be paid the same. Some teachers are better than others and should be rewarded for that whether they're male or female.

To me, it's about paying people what they're worth. Not paying people because they happen to do a particular job, or because they happen to have a dick or not. I happen to think society in general is well on the way to achieving this parity. At least, that's how it appears to be in Australia.
