Equal Pay for Equal Work? Tweet by Barack Obama

I am aware of the lack of equal pay for women doing the same work of a man. At least, I am aware of it in an intellectual way, but have not encountered it personally. This is not something new to the Obama administration. I have already signed a petition demanding equal pay for equal work.

I think that in all the countries, there is same status for women vs men. I had also read many times from different country that the women are getting less than the men. Whatever the reason may be but it is true.

It's b.s. women make more. If Obama's ladies aren't getting paid enough then he should pay them more.

Of course women are payed less, this is nothing new and Obama is not comming up with something new. It's already proved world wide that women work way harder and even if they do exactly the same they get payed less, also get way less promotion as men (who seldom are higher qualified or have more experience). Why? Because they are men, they make all the rules. And yes this is dicrimination but nobody seems to care about that. It's just a lot talking about same rights but nothing will change. It's already like this since ages and it will always be like this, as long as there are men.

Yes, even I am a man but I am totally agree with this statement that Equal Pay for Equal Work. There should be no differences between men and women in the world. The payment should be given for the work, not for the gender.

Let's look everything positively. It has come to Barak Obama's attention and I think it is possible that evrything will be equal in the near future if not just a bit improvement. Discriminations still abound but not as strong as before. Maybe people are now becoming aware of the unfair condition of discrimination. So let us hope for the better. There are women who can do better than men do so I think it is only right to implement the equal pay for equal work if they have plans to do so. Pay shouldn't be based on the gender of a person. In reality, we have different compensation level since the current rule is it depends on the company's discretion and our skills.

This has been going on for ages. Men have ALWAYS been getting paid more than women. Is it fair? No, absolutely not. Women and men should both have equal pay for the same jobs. I think it only fair. If a man and woman do the same kind of job, and they are both good or great at what they do, and they both do that same job well, then they should both get paid equally for it. Also, the way that women are treated in this country if they have to take a maternity leave is just terrible. It's like women are not supposed to work and have children. I think that too has to change because many women in this country are single mothers. How are they supposed to make it if they don't get some help? I am an American Citizen, and I know that men still get paid more than women, and I know that discrimination still exist in the workplace. Men will usually get certain jobs first, and women have to play the waiting game. That's how it is.

actually there is no gender difference to do work. the actual fact is it is just like discrimination . in this world women is suffering with a lot of problems and the above sentence is correct

Yes, its a hard fact and such discrimination is carried from generation to generation if no voice is raised.women from the very beginning are struggling for equality.The problem is that we inter-mingle the biological differences with social differences.Where male and female are two different entities with different functions as biological beings but when a conception of physical superiority and inferiority are attached the problem of inequality arises.Making it more simpler women are twice as efficient as men because they not only mange the professional domain well but at the same time turn out to be best domestic player as well.The household duties which are never rewards and are by defaults considered to be a females responsibility further adds to inequality and more appropriately termed as unpaid labour.Obamas focus on this issue atleast will give a boast to the wave preaching equality in pay and the parameters of judging a task are efficiency and not gender index.
