Would increasing the minimum wage for women only fix the wage gap?

First, this is asinine and I think you're probably a troll.

But secondly, there actually isn't that much of a gap for men and women with the same experience and qualifications in similar job positions. I'm a financial auditor for a Big 4 so I get to see the payroll liabilities for a lot of big clients :>

No. Women choose lower paying jobs, choose to work fewer hours, take much more time out of the workforce to have and raise kids, etc. Bumping up a minimum wage for women only doesn't really address the women on average earn less than men.

As long as women choose different work, there will be a wage gap.

I'm also against polices that gender discriminate. I see no reason to discriminate against either gender, simply for being that gender.

A little bit, but no.

You will fix the wage gap by Congress signing the equal pay for women law.

Ohhh snap, $10 an hour! You will and all women will be millionaires! You have figured it out!

Putting anyone on a minimum wage is a vacuum of dignity, leaving a drained soul in it's place.

No...women generally tend to choose lower paying jobs, they work less hours than men & have less experience or worked there a shorter time than men in the same jobs, which is why they are supposedly paid less. If people actually think they are paid less just because they have vaginas are dumbasses, companies are scared of lawsuits these days so they arent going to just intentionally pay women less for no reason. How about looking at WHY women are supposedly paid less instead of just automatically assuming that they are discriminated against when they arent. Encouraging women, especially female minorities/women of color, to take up higher paying jobs and work in better careers would change this so called "wage gap". People speak about this gender wage gap and assume its because of discrimination but would look at the wage gap between minorities & the dominant population & would think nothing of it.

With equalizing the wage for men and women, that would put more pressure on employers and companies to pay for both. As a consequence, companies would not be hiring as much because of budget issues, the unemployment rates would increase, and many would be unemployed.

No, it will create a wage gap based purely on gender.. how could it possibly fix it?

Increasing minimum wage has been shown to increase unemployment.

Do you want to be set back to the 1800s with protests and gender discrimination? Ridiculous.
