Just goes to show how easy it is to get swept up in a narrative.
He posted something of what I was going to post. I don't have a huge understanding of it, but it is FAR more complex than most people realize. It is not as simple as 'they generate more revenue they should get paid more' although I agree with that in principle. It is not cut and dry the way lots of people think it is. I would encourage many of the people chanting about equal pay to actually do a bit of research. I'm not saying it will, or should, change their opinion, but they really need to understand that the pay structure is different for men and women.
