@BlindBandit,
If you look at the statistics of Americans Employed you will see that women get equal pay by salary/positions individually. You will also see the percentages of men vs women who are employed there's many more male workers by population of workers which overall by populace doesn't give even a chance of possibility for equal tax dollars paid in to be equal technically by individual standards women get equal pay to men by populace no because the percentages are so much higher for male workers. Equal rights well... heres two examples equal rights may not all be in the womens favor although this one in particular
1. Women have more rights in most probate courts (family courts) so that one isn't equal although it tends to be in the woman's favor.
2. In the commonwealth of Massachusetts typically if there is a domestic call to the police about a couple the woman is in favor and man is automatically arrested.
In the commonwealth of Pennsylvania typically if there is a domestic call to the police about a couple the man is in favor and the woman is automatically arrested. Again these are Legal standards of the typical situation. Neither is exactly equal.
Theres so many different circumstances and situations of where men or women are not treated fairly it goes both ways I think women deal with more unfairness personally in some aspects and men in some aspects that's just how it is.
I could go on and on on different variables how men and women are and aren't equal and why.... but I'm kind of tired and got a lot of stuff to do before hitting the sack If you want message me we can have a conversation about it.
