Re-read what I wrote. It depends on what job you have, and women tend not to do those jobs. In many cases, they are physically incapable of doing those jobs.
This is tangential to the conversation. So there are things women can't do. Granted. But we're talking about how much they get paid for the same work that men do. So the oil rig jobs are not really part of the debate at all.

Another issue is the fact that private sector employees don't have the right to comp time or flex time. That's a disaster for women with children.
Need to take Thursday afternoon off to take your kids to the doctor? Too bad! You don't get paid. You can't work 44 hours next week to make up for it.

Yes it is. The "equal pay" argument and the bullshite math that goes with it incorporates ALL jobs done by men and women, and lumps them into this argument. If you limit the argument to jobs that men and women both do, there is no pay gap. The gap exists because men do higher paying jobs.
