Meanwhile, women continue to contribute billions to this economy that go unacknowledged, except by statisticians.
No of course she wouldn't; because she's 'different' & her (alleged) job is so 'special'...

As reported, under the act, librarians were equated to fisheries officers with the difference in pay decided therefore to be due to gender discrimination. Whether librarians should be paid more, less or the same as fisheries officers is a debate you can have if you feel like it, but claiming that librarians are paid less "because it's predominantly a female occupation" is completely baseless.
Really? Then what do you think it does equate to, if not exactly that....
And anything designed to deliberatey disadvantage a section of society cannot under any circumstances be called in any way "noble"
