you point to a single case where this is the actual story? Have you hired women and paid them less than men doing the exact same job? Do you get paid more than a woman doing your exact same job? I never did, my employees' salaries were determined by job position, regardless of gender.

Let's look at one of the examples your article uses for their "time-tested fact". "Male teachers earn a median of $1,096 a week, whereas women earn $956 -- about 87 cents to the man's dollar." Now that's odd, and a valid concern. However I've looked at quite a few pay scales/steps for various school systems. Never once have I seen gender listed on there. Just degrees and years of service. Could it be that men are taking jobs in higher risk and higher paying school systems? Could it be they're more willing to move to higher paying districts a la Fairfax, Va Beach, etc. and thus men are more likely to be in those higher paying districts than staying in lower paying districts?

What about other careers. Can you show me the police, fire, nursing, etc. pay scales that differentiate by gender for the exact same job? Do UVA profs get paid differently based on their genitalia? Does the female cashier at WalMart get paid less than the male one? It would seem that if this 78% were such a "time-tested fact" these types of examples would be easy to show.
