Very Highly Flawed: That means that if we want to achieve our ideal of
equal salaries for men and women, we may need to legislate the principle
of equal pay for less work. Personally, I support that principle. But I
recognize it’s a hard sell.

Equal Pay for Less Work? What a terribly stupid idea.

That's about as far as I got, and felt I needed to go, (although I did
decide to skim it afterwards).

With regard to the author's above and below statements, I offer this

Like I said, flawed. The one that bugged me was

"We know from the classical music scene that women can play instruments
beautifully, superbly, proficiently - essentially just as well as men. They
can and many do. Yet in jazz, where the performer has to be creative while
playing, there is a stunning imbalance: hardly any women improvise. Why?"

Ask Colleen: http://www.colleenallen.ca/
(My daughter's former jazz teacher.)

This part makes my head hurt:

"Today's human population is descended from twice as many women as men."

I guess it's like compound interest ; )

Just curious - why is it simple-minded to say that individuals oughtto be
taken on their own merits, rather than being shoved into thisor that
arbitrary group and then defined en masse...?
