re: "She misses the main point of contention, women want equal pay for equal work."

I disagree. She didn't MISS anything. She was making a different point. That leads me to think that you may have missed HER points.

I recall a few: That women want equal pay despite not putting in the hours men do. And that hiring women these days can put an onerous responsibility on employers to make accommodations:

o Up to a year of leave following each child
o Training someone new each time the woman needs such leave
o Having to demote or terminate good people when the woman returns to her job

There were a bunch of other examples. Sorry I can't recall them all from 3-4 years ago.

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.
