Nice try, but let's first stick to the different pay based on gender for same job argument first. Care to back up the claim that women get less pay for same job and same circumstances based on gender discrimination?
Oh, and in the Western world. Don't even go to India or elsewhere.
care to back up your rebuttal?
I already suggested google lily Ledbetter.
Did you? I don't remember that, and skimming through the thread just now, I see no mention of that name before this post of yours. So did you lie just now? Just wondering ...
Anyway, concerning Ledbetter, that's not much evidence because it's just one case of one person whose reasons for being underpaid are not clear as Obama and others make them out to be. Are there other cases in USA in this day and age that back up what she went through?
There was a law passed decades ago in the USA called the Equal Pay Act.
http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/equalcompensation.cfmYear: 1963
What has this done to improve the wage difference between genders? As the stats show, and as you and I both agree on, the difference is still there.
Now the Ledbetter one was passed by Obama a few years ago. What has it achieved exactly so far? Difference is still there.
Keep that in mind, and the lack of cases supporting your claim about the difference being due to gender discrimination, and tell me why I should forego critical thinking to trust what you say.
Also, I haven't made much rebuttal until now. So there has been nothing for me to back up until this post.
