Was actually yesterday, and there are some frustratingly amusing tips for working women to be found here. I've certainly commented on this before but to abbreviate...
Men and women should be paid the same for equal work.
Sexism is alive and well.
Male/Female salaries are likely never to be equal based on current methods for evaluation.
There are good reasons for this.
There are bad reasons for this (sexism mostly, in different ways).
There are make believe reasons for this.
It is possible that at some point in the future that home/work roles for males and females will have completely balanced out in perception if not in fact, at which point the number will (probably) finally be equal. I would love that to happen, but it won't in my lifetime. It just won't. What will happen in my lifetime, is that actual pay for actual work will balance out.
