Clo,

From her response I suspect that she's part of that same group who are advocating that the minimum wage laws, along with regulations involving child labor, should be 'revamped' (read 'gutted') so as to give ALL family members more 'flexibility' in finding opportunities to support the needs of their family.

Case in point:

She is Carrie Lukas.
I disagree with "her" take.
She misses the main point of contention, women want equal pay for equal work.
Many are single mothers & they are the breadwinners. clo

In Part:

Should we celebrate the closing of the wage gap? Certainly it's good news that women are increasingly productive workers, but women whose husbands and sons are out of work or under-employed are likely to have a different perspective. After all, many American women wish they could work less, and that they weren't the primary earners for their families.
