I don't even understand how this could be questioned realy.
For the same work ofcourse.
Last year there was a huge controversie amongst male and female tennis profesionals. At some tournement (forgot the precise details) woman got paid the same as men. Quite a few men argued that this was not fair, for two reasons. For one, in general, men play 2 sets more, and secondly men attract much more vieuwers and therefor advertising income.

But, same work, same salary, ofcourse!
This should not even be an issue these days. If you do the same job as someone else then you are entitled to the same money. However I do have to disagree with the issue above as I feel the the men do deserve more money. I would base this on performance. The crowds / ratings you draw deserve more money. However while some will think of me as a typical male, I would like to make one point. If and when a time comes when women out draw the men in crowds and ratings then I would support the women earning MORE than the men as fair is fair. And the same goes for every sport.

hi, when I read my own post, I can see maybe I didn't make my point totaly clear.
In this case (sport) I do agree with you.
But also, most work is done equaly well, some even better by women, and this should secure a equal income.
Again, I fail to see why this would even be a isue

It's an issue because it still doesn't happen everywhere. Often women get paid less for doing the same job as men, for the same amount of hours. No, it's not fair. Regardless of race, gender, etc, everyone should get paid the same for doing the same job if they are equally qualified. When it becomes fair is when pay descrepencies are based on performance and skill on the job, again without regard to race, gender, etc.

As I said, because it still happens that women get paid less than men for the same job, same hours, same or better skill and performance. Sad, but true.

Good point. It depends on many factors and is hard to say as the statistics are sometimes fudged by women's groups. How many years worked? At what kind of job? What degree of education? Performance?

Yeah, but when you advertise for someone to do logging, women rarely apply and when they do, they rarely last for more than a day or two. How do you establish equal pay?

IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN OF COURSE THE WOMAN SHOULD ONLY GET PAID ONE OR TWO DAYS,I´M TALKING ABOUT THE SAME PAY RATE FOR THE SAME JOB AS A MAN.IT CAN BE ANY JOB AT ALL.
