I would say, it shouldn't matter if the employee is male or female in this scenario. What I am asking for with equal pay is that employers should be incentivised to hire the best worker regardless of sex and that women should not have unproportionate pay to men simply for being women.

A man with knowledge of company history, procedures, finances, employees, etc. who has been growing with the company or who received specialized training deserves more compensation than a woman who just walked off the street or has no knowledge of the company workings. Private companies should pay employees however they wish, but it should not be required to pay less qualified individuals the same salary.

Your perspective is understandable. Everyone would agree that employees who have more experience, expertise, and have contributed significantly to a company's success deserve a higher compensation. However, the question here is not about experience, but about gender. If a woman and a man have the same level of qualifications, experience, and responsibilities, should they not be paid the same?

Let's take a hypothetical example. Suppose, there are two engineers in the same company, one male and one female. They both graduated from the same university, have the same amount of work experience, and are performing the same job. Shouldn't they be paid equally?

Please share your thoughts on this specific scenario.

Yes they are both qualified and are doing the same job and sometimes then men aren’t even doing their job and still get paid more

 @9F7PVYX from Minnesota agreed…7mos7MO

That many other factors of education and experience and such are applied the picture that the wage gap disappears
