| When I had a stable job, the engineer women at my workplace (yes most were men) made about twice what I made even though I worked longer hours, that's a matter of supply and demand, engineers are more rare and yet very demanded and necessary, hence the high wage.

| You are a sage of wisdom. However, if you provide access based on gender, then you open up a can of worms (for those in the UK, "sticky wicket") regarding all of the permutations of birth gender, physical gender, gender identity, etc. That, is an yet unaddressed issue of increased moderation of L&a... |
