5. "Most guys you know"

are not the nation, and US government figures show that women do make less. Now, the other poster and many others think it is because we are worth less: we have babies, we aren't strong enough. In short, we are not men.

I have been paid less than men for the same job, even though I have had higher qualifications. Many women have experienced the same thing. I suspect you haven't experienced racism either. Are you going to claim it doesn't exist either? Your experience isn't universal, and other people's rights actually matter, even if they aren't white, male, and straight.
