Thanks "Kamala" for providing an even better destruction of the so-called "gender pay gap" than I could have even come up with myself: professional sports!

Ever watch a women's football match? It's excruciating! It takes about a half an hour for the ball to move from one end to the other, and the standards of defending and goal keeping are shocking. Women's professional teams get routinely shellacked by high school boys teams, which is about all you need to know.

Where men and women do equal work, women on average get paid slightly more then men due to preferential treatment (they are absolutely fast-tracked for promotion where I work). But the work usually isn't equal: women are out sick more often, take extended leaves to have babies, take a lot of time off to take care of family business, are less ambitious on average and like to spend more time socializing versus getting work done, and so forth.

And on the football pitch, they're significantly slower and weaker. The work is not even close to equal. And that's why they make less money!

Incidentally, I remember the guy who used to host "Fox Football Fone-In" years ago-- I think his name was Steven Cohen-- once saying, "I like my ladies, and I like my football-- just not together." True, that.
