Women Making Choices

Apparently Tuesday was another phony holiday, the feminist "Equal Pay Day", when they make their perennial complaint about the supposed wage gap between men and women.

Here's this nugget, which again presents the underreported stats I first remember hearing about in my business school stats class in the early 80's. Carrie Lukas of IWF on Townhall.com:
Feminists may not like it, but the evidence shows that women’s choices—not discrimination—cause wage gap. Warren Farrell — a former board member of the National Organization for Women’s New York chapter — identifies 25 decisions that individuals make when choosing jobs in his book, Why Men Earn More. Women, he finds, are much more likely to make decisions that increase their quality of life, but decrease their pay.
And more women have a choice about this because of the men in their lives.
