    Why do women get paid less than men?

    Is it because a woman's work is never done?

    I think the opposite is the case - think of female escorts vs male escorts for example.

    Women can charge extortionate rates, whereas men will often work for peanuts if not for free....

      I never thought of them by sex, normally by model: RS1600, RS1800, Mexico, RS200, Harrier...

          surely that makes them overpaid then?

              Who is in charge of the HR department ? a woman
              Who sets the pay levels > HR
              Who knows women better than men ? women


              ipso facto, ad verbarum, legalarium, women are paying themselves less

                They're doing it deliberately to force men to buy them handbags, flowers and chocolates because we think they can't afford to buy them for themselves. Scheming and devious and unfortunately the only alternatives are to use your right hand or turn gay, so they'll get away with it for as long as the human race survives.

                  that is actually a really good point - we end up spending all our money on women anyway! So us guys are actually earning our money only to hand it over to them anyway.... They get paid the money they earn + the money/gifts/spending on them.

                    ipso facto, ad verbarum, legalarium, women are paying themselves less so they can blame men for it
