I disagree. You seem to be leaving out the MANY single women and working mothers who have all of that worked out. WOmen are working overtime to pay the bills as single moms, women are working often times the same hours as men and getting paid less.

There are women at the top who get paid for the same work who have no kids or hubby OR they have kids and their home situations worked out.

There are quite a few of them who work as K street attorneys here in DC.

Girls, I don’t agree women make less than men. Men are more likely to work the overtime, women are more likely to have part-time jobs. Those stats are comparing apples and bowling balls.

Women often make a trade-off - less money, more security. Or, less money, but benefits.

It’s much more defined than “not necessarily being paid better than men.” For every dollar a white male makes, white females make 77 cents, African-American women make 62 cents and Latina women make 53 cents. Also, the Supreme Court ruled that women have 180 days after their first paycheck to find out about pay discrimination, otherwise they can’t sue.
