	A national average:  women earn 59 cents for every dollar
	men earn for the same work.

Do people believe this?  Do you believe that greedy old big business
could cut their labor costs by 41% by replacing all their men with
women, but that their greed is overcome by an altruistic love of mankind
(read *man*kind)?

Fat chance.

The wage differential is caused by differences in levels of training and
experience;  the remedies are improved education and training... and
time.
