 As an addendum to my (immediately) previous posting:

 Women are paid less (in part anyway) because it is
 expected that they will have a man to support them.
 Men in turn are paid more because they have to support
 a family.  So to those who complain that equal pay for
 work of equal value will cost too much: if you think
 that the average standard of living is adequate then
 EPFWOEV doesn't have to cost anything extra - we just
 redistribute it.  Personally I think that everyone 
 should be paid enough to live a decent life themselves
 but to set salaries so that one half of the population
 can "keep" the other half is ridiculous and then to pay
 minimal (or nothing) to the other half so that they
 are economically dependent is ridiculous in the extreme.
 (not to mention insulting, unfair etc etc).
