Fair Pay Act Just Passed?

I feel that it is going to result in fewer jobs for women.

The factors that affect a woman's pay vs. that of a man are more complex than simple discrimination. For example, women without children tend to make the same amount as their male counterparts.

Women with children tend to work fewer hours, take more time off from work and also tend to leave the workforce entirely for a year or two. All of these factors will produce a negative effect on anybodies income.

Penalizing the men because the women want to 'have it all' is going to do nothing but generate resentment.

I can't believe we had to wait until 2009 for such a bill, or that we needed to pass legislation for women to get equal pay.
