The analogy at the end is not accurate. I as the consumer don’t pay less for a shirt made in Bangladesh - I buy the highest quality shirt that is offered at the lowest price, and don’t factor on the cost of living (or mote accurately cost of labor) of where the shirt was manufactured. Regarding the widespread practice of locale-adjusted pay (it generally is not cost of living adjusted e.g. London is paid far less than SF despite a similar cost of living), it is a clear example of why the argument of “women can’t be paid less because companies would hire more women if they were cheaper” is simply false.
