[MD] Down the road of mediocrity

Utter and complete nonsense. Check life expectancy tables at:

[Arlo]
I'm not disputing women have longer life expectancies. I dispute that 
this is the reason why they earn less for the same job as men do.

Unless you are arguing that smokers be paid more than non-smokers, or 
Native Americans paid more than whites, or gluttons be paid more than 
healthy eaters, or people with terminal illness paid more than 
otherwise healthy people... based all on the same notion that the 
longer one's life expectancy, the less s/he should receive in 
compensation for work.

People are paid less that are valued less. That's the market reality.
