"The best way to eliminate the gender pay gap? Ban salary negotiations"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ellen Pao, interim chief executive of Reddit, announced last month a ban on salary negotiations at the social media company. Her stated goal: to eliminate the persistent disadvantage that women have at the bargaining table.

Her pronouncement came just days after Pao lost a high-profile sex-discrimination lawsuit against one of Silicon Valley’s biggest venture-capital firms. Since then, she has insisted that companies “can’t just hide” from sexism in their workplaces and must be proactive in counteracting discrimination. Still, while it is true thatwomen earn about 78 cents, on average, for every dollar a man makes for comparable work, Pao’s no-negotiating policy has struck many as absurd.'

Things'll shake out such that men'll stop applyung for lower salary-set jobs and since it's been shown men value their own labor more than do women, women'll go after the lower-set paying jobs. The net result'll be the same: men'll still earn more because they value themselves more and take on the more dirty and/or dangerous jobs women as a rule don't go for.

Men earn their pay. Why should women be above earning their pay too, or is the real goal of Gender Feminists to divide the sexes (create enmity between the sexes) as part of the Cultural Marxist promotion of cultural revolution?
