Women's Rights being pushed back again: “Money Is More Important For Men”

This stuff makes me lose my faith in humanity. Basically we start to take steps in the right direction, Rick Santorum is now far away from any kind of presidential spot, new Avatar being put out and then... Some idiot state senator tries to repeal equal payment based on gender. I mean... What the forget? What ever happened to equal rights and gender equality and constitutional rights? It's as if the entire government is suddenly like "So, we have freedom, and that's cool, but what if we didn't?"

This and CISPA are both the filth of our entire government.

Sometimes I wonder how there are still people with this mindset on Earth.

Private companies should be allowed to treat customers and employees how they like, only the government should have to treat everyone equally.

If you work for Acme Co. and you don't think you're being treated equally, it's that companies loss because now you're probably going to work for someone else who would treat you fairly.

You don't need a law for this stuff.

It's not always that easy to find a new job.

I don't see why it isn't simple enough for people to just be fair on it.
If I do a job as a white male I expect a black male to be paid the exact same amount if he does the exact same job.
So if a Black person can be paid the same pay for the same job as a white person, then a female should be paid the same pay for the same job as a male.

But what if say, an average woman/white male/black male/whatever can't do something as well as someone else? They might be doing a worse job, but under this law now that person has to be paid the same as someone who does the job better. There is no perfect solution, and trying to make a one size fits all law is nowhere close a good solution.

Also:

If that person does worse at their job for any reason then I wouldn't pay them as much as a person doing it better than them.
But I wouldn't immediately assume that all women will be worse than men so by default I will pay them less, because maaaaybe they aren't as good as men at doing it.

And when we're talking about jobs in businesses and offices and such, there's even less reason to assume a woman is less equipped for the job than a man.
They won't be doing heavy lifting in an office. I can't just assume that the generally physically weaker woman will be worse than the generally physically stronger man and typing on a computer and filing paperwork.

It all leads up to 2012 I say!

You're theory is well intended, but easily abusable. The current american legal system works in a flawed way, so that the loser of a court case does not have to pay the legal expenses of the winner. keep this in mind. Say I am an employer, and you are a female looking for a job. If I employed you and paid you less based on work, you might sue under this equality law, saying that I was being discriminative of your gender. This may not be fact, but you have sued me. You will probably lose, but under this system I still owe my lawyer for defending a pointless case. Now, I am drowned in legal expenses and might have to close down. That is the fear of employers under this law. They call people like this "Lawsuit Bombs" because of this. Not every single female is like this, no sir, but the ones who are like this scare everyone else out of hiring all of them.

And now more females would be out of work.

We must all agree that this senator is absolutely handicapped though.

And yet before Women's Rights, women wanted MORE money.

Just when I thought all of my faith in humanity was gone, THIS had to exist.

Except multiple women wanted to be paid less.
