So when a married woman earns less than a man for the same work (assuming same seniority and performance) it doesn't matter? Are you assuming that her wages are just 'pin money?' What if she is the primary wage earner as compared to her husband?
What about the single mother? Do not her children benefit if she is paid the same as a man doing the same job?
As for single women, and yes, I am one, if I am paid less than a man for doing the same work, do you think that this is magically compensated for by 'ladies drink free on Thursday nights'? Or perhaps you imagine that I get a discount on my mortgage payments for being single. And why do single men not get paid less as well? After all, they aren't raising families and yet we don't wave away their need for income.
