For those of you who care, read up on the proposal
HERE.
It's not a proposal to state that men get paid more than women and the playing field must be leveled. It's a proposal that everyone, men and women should both have the opportunity to make the same as their peers. The only reason this is made to be and identified as an "Equal Pay for Women," is because in 2008, "The United States Census Bureau reported that women's median annual earnings were 77.5% of the male median, African-American women's median annual earnings were 64% of the white male median, and Hispanic women's median annual earnings were 54% of the white male median."
The gap is there as something shocking and something that didn't sit well with some. Again, those are just facts that led to wanting equal pay all around, not just for women with men, but men with women as well.
