You should be filing a lawsuit as you were writing this.

I did a paper a few years back on gender gap on it fields. Sexism of course may play a role in the pay gap. But once one eliminates variance such as hours, experience, job nature and education the gap is much smaller than the feminists want you to believe (I.e., < 10%). Many successful females interviewed in journals attribute the difference in aggressiveness in negotiations. Many males are more confident and will ask for a higher salary and get it. These females recommends the females to do the homework to make sure they know how much they should be worth and be firm and confidence during salary negotiation.

I'm sure you could bring that up somewhere to get your pay raised to their level. Fight for it Hun. It doesn't matter what gender, race, or color shirt you are wearing,if you earn it you deserve it.

Sexism? I wonder. She makes no comment about who she works for or how their pay is structured. The company I work for pays based on experience and tenure. If she is new, but the others have been there a while, so what? When the others started out, they started out making the same. That's here though. Plus all the other benefits the employer pays for such as health screenings and mammograms for women, extra PTO for when they need to care for children. Sure, she may not use it, but it's there *if* she does.

Actually, you're probably getting paid 15% less because your salary was negotiated at a lower rate. Where I work, my friend and I make $10k/yr different in salary for the same job - and we're both men. It may depend on qualifications, or the financial situation of the company when you were hired. Don't assume it's because you're a girl unless you have hard evidence

That's the world for ya...

If you accepted the position for 15% less than the "males" it is only your fault. It's not unfair, inequality, or anything else. You foolishly accepted the position for less money. I expect you won't make that mistake again. Before you go full fem-nazi did you bother researching how many days off a year you take compared to the rest of people with your job title. What about the amount you cost in insurance compared to everyone else. Unfortunately From a employers point of view a women on avg takes more time off and is higher on insurance coverage. That statistic is without factoring in maturity leave which is a huge cost to an employer. But by all means get a lawyer. Verify that the way you obtained the salaries of all the "male" workers was legal. Pay for a lawyer on word of mouth of the male workers as well

That's bias...it shouldn't matter who you are you should get the equal pay...now that you know maybe you can get more equal pay...

Quit bitching

Maybe you are just a 15% worse of a worker
