The beauty of capitalism is that employees are paid precisely what they are worth in the marketplace. If a woman, man, or penguin believes he/she is being unfairly compensated, he/she is free to take their skills to an employer who will offer a fairer system of compensation. Educated men tend to gravitate toward industries (e.g. finance and engineering) that are more financially rewarding than child care and education. Men also tend to have more work experience (they don't have babies) and work longer hours than women. When the above studies adjust for work experience, academic background, and skills in the marketplace virtually all pay disparities disappear because employers will always reward their most highly valued employees; man or woman. But none of this has anything to do with "equality" or "rights", but rather endorsement of a government mandated equality of outcome. Which is why smart, independent women want nothing to do with Emily's List in the first place.
