re: Women want equal pay? Stop babysitting

agree with this, in my experience women don't want to work, they want the prestige of the title of the job, but they don't want to put in the sweat equity to get there, they always want short cuts, when they finally get there, they do everything they can to minimize time at the work place

Not counting entry level jobs, my experience has been the opposite. The employees who are lazy and try to get over with minimal effort are usually male.

Single moms are more likely to arrive late or need time off but it's usually for a legitimate reason (family obligations). If you get paid hourly that shows up in your paycheck and creates a pay gap--even if you do more in 35 hours than someone else does in 40.

Different employers will respond to that in different ways. If you have a small to mid size business where the owner knows everyone they'll be more willing to work with you in terms of a flexible schedule. But it also gives you less leverage when you want a pay raise.
