Well Whiney, I used to do bookkeeping and I know that women don't earn less than men. Some women actually earn more than men, so your claim is based on ignorance. Basically, in my firsthand experience, most women earn about the same as men. There are jobs, however, in which men might earn more than men, and these are jobs that have long hours or are physically demanding or dangerous, such as operating heavy machinery, lifting heavy objects, etc. A lot of these dangerous jobs like construction work happen to be done by men, and since they are dangerous and demanding, they are higher paying. No one is stopping a woman from having one of these jobs. So stop bitching about your bullshit pay discrepancies and try lifting 300-pound bags of cement, then maybe you won't complain about your wages.

    Actually Alvin, that's not entirely true. Men do generally make more than women. Studies have shown that men who have limited college experience make the same amount as a woman who has a master's degree. Women have to have more education than men in order to get the same salary as them. That's where the unfairness comes in.
