lack of men's life choices (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 12:22 AM November 17th, 2004 EST (#1) These "pay equity" stats don't control for the fact that men don't have the extent of choice that women do to be a homemaker/child-caregiver. Women have life choices, i.e. work or be a homemaker, men are just assumed to like being wage slaves. So men work longer hours, for more years, etc. Shared custody laws make being a stay-at-home dad more attractive (nothing like being a stay-at-home dad and then being deprived of equal custody by the usual sexist family law). So shared custody laws are a good way to address the discrimination against men that contributes to "pay inequity".
