&gt;Study after study demonstrates that women are paid less than men in the United States.<p>I wish some of these studies are cited because if you are telling me that I could hypothetically be able to hire someone who is able to do the same job, for less money (like the fabled 79%), I would gladly take them up on the offer. Unfortunately it doesn&#x27;t exist except in delusional minds.  This is the free market, not some global male conspiracy.
