The war on women is bullshite.

Most women can't physically do the things that the men can. I work in an office and I don't know what everyone makes, but I do know that when heavy things need to be moved, the men do it. I'm not using that as an excuse for unequal pay, it's just that men can do more physically than women.

I've never seen the breakdown of the jobs that they say that women make less at. Is it the same exact jobs? Or is it an across the board stat?

And like I've said many times before...women working in the White House make around 30% less than the men do. They should start there and set an example.

They usually say women with college degrees make 75cents on the dollar to what men make. Someone looked into the claim and found out that it is true, but easily explained by the differences in fields and the fact that men are more likely to work overtime, not take paternity leave, and be the ones who travel. When you look at the same field and the same working conditions women make 99cents to the dollar so basically the same.

it is an across the board statistic. It makes no distinction between types of jobs or job descriptions.
