Important gender issues

According to the Washington Post, the wage gap is still alive and kicking.

It is 2006, and as has been true for about a decade, women earn only 77 cents for every dollar men make.
***
That 23-cent differential is not because some women take time off to give birth or raise children. The pay-gap figure measures only women and men who work full time, for a full year. It does not include women who took time off during the year or worked part time.

You can check if you make less than your male counterpart here.
