Not really, yet I find the young male respondents making the assumption that we are saying just that, while stating that we're 'equals' so no expectations of chivalry are legit. So, yes, I agree that we are NOT equals, but your post seemed to come across with an anger about it. My apologies if it was misread.

I'm surprised of all the posts in here you got anger from mine, but that's not what I intended. I was just pointing out there are actual reasons women make less than men, and it isn't because they are women. It's because of the workplace choices they make. On an individual basis, you can't find good data to support differently. Or at least, I can't. Once you get the whole group, you can definitely see where certain choices women on the average make could and should make them recieve less money.
