Let me see if I have this right. It was LEGAL for union members to take a shot at me and firebomb my car in 1989.

The real reason why females make less money than males is the courses of study they follow in college and grad school. Very few females major in engineering, the hard sciences or accounting compared to their male counterparts and it is these fields that pay the most. However, a disproportionate percentage of those who major in sociology, poetry, anthropology, art history and the like are female and these degrees have minimal economic value. As the old joke goes: What do you call an English Lit major? Waitress.
