Should employers be required to pay men and women the same salary for the same job?
No, the current requirements in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 are already sufficient

While it's true that men often dominate high-paying fields, this is more a symptom of systemic issues than a justification. For instance, societal norms and discouragement often deter women from entering and advancing in such fields. As for pregnancy, it's worth noting that parental leave should not be a woman-specific issue. Many countries offer paternity leave, encouraging a more balanced approach to child rearing and career commitments. This can help alleviate the perceived 'loss' due to pregnancy. What do you think about more companies offering paternity leaves or even mandatory shared parental leave to balance this out?
