1) There are women with the proper skills available to take all of the
   jobs of men.
2) Reducing salaries by x% reduces labor costs by x%.
3) Business people always make rational decisions.
4) There is no cost in replacing one worker with another.
5) Two people (in particular one man and one woman) who do
   comparable work are necessarily perceived as doing comparable work
   by employers.

These are just some of the false assumptions made by Charlie Kaufman
in his statement:

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?
