Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- It’s a staple of feminist
rhetoric: Women make less money than men because of
discrimination.
“We’d all like to think, in 2012, that pay
discrimination is a thing of the past,” the progressive
activist Joy Lawson wrote in the Huffington Post recently.
“But the pay gap still exists, and it’s big: women earn an
average of 77 cents on a man’s dollar.”
