> "People who claim that 'women earn 77 cents on the dollar as compared to men' - when studies overwhelmingly show that this is false when taking into consideration roles and hour etc. - are definitely 'dividing genders'." Women didn't start anything here in terms of division by gender. Did you think JFK signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963 for fun or something? If there is overstepping, consider that they may just be trying to correct the overstepping of the other side. It's one of those things you can only appreciate by having your own skin in the game. |

He signed a law stating that a 'female plumber should be paid the same as a male plumber of equal qualifications'.
Broadly - this is the case. There is essentially pay equality in America.
Men and women do different jobs, and have different lifestyles, which constitutes the differential in pay.
The inability to understand this, and to project misleading data is definitely divisive.
If you said: "very few women have Eng jobs because so few of them get Eng degrees - let's start a program to encourage girls to get in to Engineering" - then this would not be divisive.
But if you said: "Women should have 50% of the Eng. jobs even though they only make up 13% of the talent pool" - then this is extremely divisive.
