that's my point
i can ONLY talk about those careers. it's all i know about. i can tell you why there are very few women at the top in those careers, and i have done. more girls go into law than boys. more trainees are female than boys. but the partnership ratio is about 20:80 female:male. because the women leave the career and don't come back.

i can't talk about other careers because apart from a student stint behind the bar, i've never been involved in them.

You are now arguing that you can make no kind of comment on the original point
because you know nothing about it?

We know that, it's quite clear from your posts, what we we're trying to point out is that outside of your little bubble of perfectly equal pay, there are lots of women who are paid less for doing the same job.

ok
so what are YOU doing about it?

posting on an internet forum but carrying on taking more pay than a woman anyway?

I also work in a company which pays women and men equally
for doing the same job.

This started because I pointed out that SATC was profoundly offensive against women, and I will stand by that comment.

I never said you ought to be ought marching in the defence of equal pay, but I would like to think someone as well educated as you would have been at least aware of the problem, as I am.

No women work in my industry
I'm more equal than you.
