Why oh why do women keep having to have this discussion in the U.S.????
If a woman is doing the same kind of work as a man, why the hell can't she paid the same money the man is paid? We shouldn't have to keep reminding people that women who do the same kind of work as a man, deserve to be paid accordingly. How many more generations until equal pay for equal work is an accepted norm?

A vote on the Fair Pay Restoration Act is expected soon, so now it's time for the Senate to stand up and do the right thing.
