There is no evidence she suffered any discrimination in pay. Her work was inferior, worth less than that of the specific males at that job. The males were not paid the same as each other, either. Was the lower paid male a victim of discrimination? Is any pay difference evidence of discrimination? No. It is the best evidence of the real worth of the work.

If she did not like her pay, she should have peddled her skills elsewhere. She would have had better evidence of discrimination after finding another job, with the same duties, but at a higher pay. With that evidence, the claim would have had greater validation.

If I ever become so stupid or so self-defeating to ever hire an employee, I see a woman applicant, I see a lawsuit. Thank the lawyer. Thank this hate filled, left wing ideologue hysteric.

Kia: For the seventeenth time, I think your work is superior to that of your male predecessor. Sincerely.

I want you to tell us if you are paid as much as he was, correcting for inflation, and the devaluation. We do not want to know any amounts. (We know, the amounts are pitiful relative to your skills and intelligence.)

I do not think you care about equal pay for females, as much as I do. You refuse to tell us whether you get the same pay as your male predecessor. If your pay is less, I would like to donate some money to hire an employment lawyer to sue your employer, those horrible lawyers.

You refuse. You have no interest in equal pay, except for partisan bashing and to further a big government, left wing agenda.

Awesome ??

That's mindless teeny-bopper chatter, which, come to think about it, pretty much describes everything I've read about the proposed Lily Ledbetter legislation

More mindless governmental intervention into the economic sector designed to create more trial lawyer activity and an ever-expanding bureaucracy

Thanks but no thanks - we have more than enough of both already

You must not have read very much about the legislation, then. Where did you read it, McCain's website? Goodyear's website? That could explain it, Avenger.

Instead of attacking my use of informal language on a blog (i.e., not a law review article, not an editorial, not a research report), maybe you should actually read the proposed legislation.

That would be totally awesome, dude.

I did read it - which is why I mocked both it and you

I stand by my earlier comments

Mock away, my friend. It's fine and I understand: It's all you can do to avoid just coming out and saying that you are against providing any effective means for holding discriminatory employers accountable and protecting people against unlawful pay discrimination.
