I have always found that the argument of pay inequality doesn't really make any economical sense. If a woman is as qualified as a man, yet is ready to work for less pay, wouldn't that be an incentive to hire loads of women? And if someone, regardless of gender, is OK with the salary they are being offered, why should anyone else care if a separate group of people, who have also accepted the salaries they got offered, are earning more?

Pay inequality does exist but it is mostly used in an intentionally misleading way to "prove" the extent of sexism/discrimination. There is pay inequality caused by "unknown factors" (potentially including sexism) of around 5%. The rest of the pay differential is caused by known factors (e.g. taking time out of work for children, career choices, etc). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-hoff-sommers/wage-gap_b_2073804.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-hoff-sommers/wage-ga...
