Why are women earning eighty cents for every dollar earned by men?

On average, many low-paying occupations are directed at women. There are many reasons and excuses. Women are more likely to work less than full time. Women are penalized for being the ones who bear and care for children. Men with children are more likely to get a boost in earnings. After accounting for all other such factors, women who perform the same jobs as men are simply paid less. They are simply not valued since inequality was perfected and protected long, long ago when men were men and women were girls and women were considered inferior and the property of their fathers, husbands, brothers and other male relatives and custodians. Glass ceilings and all, men get bonuses for just being men. In fact, Republicans recently blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act. See link.
