> It feels like they treating us like children incapable of tying our own shoes or something Well if the objective assessment of the evidence didn't reveal a wage gap based on gender, then maybe we could agree. But it seems, left to their own devices, many companies perpetuate the wage gap. So what this does is further increase the cost of doing already shady and illegal business by making a practice that's almost universally bad for workers anyways and made that illegal to. These laws don't result in jail, they result in fines. So it's the government engaging in it's population-mandated practice of making illegal practices more expensive.
