Yes. So then logically I should be able to walk into a Target and pay the same price for the exact same product in Wal-Mart.
Equal pay for a PERFECTLY equal job. Ceteris Peribus. That means at the same company in the same place in the same building with the same boss with the same personality ect ect only difference being gender.
Happy?
There is no equality. Everyone is different and brings different values and productivity to their job. People should be free to compete for whatever wage they can get. The government has no business deciding who should get payed what for any reason. If you argue for equal pay for labor then you also must argue for equal pay for equal goods and services – otherwise your argument is inconsistent.
Prices and wages are the same exact thing. Not only that, the fallacy of equal pay would make you also argue in favor of equal stock-prices too. Coke and Pepsi both make colas so they should also have equal stock prices.
Good God - you are about a stupid motherfucker.
The argument here is about sex discrimination. Unless you can prove that the differentiation in goods offered for retail sale - hell - even wholesale are based strictly on the customer’s sex, you have about zero argument.
Can you do that?
Then shut the fuck up and go preach your butt-cheese coated tripe somewhere else.

Your first mistake is assuming I actually cared enough to read the cited material or wanted to engage a discussion about gender equality. I doesn’t matter what made up reasons there are for equal pay. Prices are prices. I am just pointing out the correct, logical argument one needs to make in order to be consistent with it.
Besides, women get payed less because they are less productive and less intellectually sophisticated, generally speaking.
I am confused though: Are you saying you want government to intervene in prices and create equality for the sexes?
