The income disparity exists, especially among women who are deemed less attractive, or are overweight. Don't kid yourself that simply making The Equal Pay Act will eventually equal out everything. As humans, bias still exists past these safeguards.

I've experienced discrimination for various reasons - women and minorities do the same thing - including women, parents, homosexuals and lesbians. Nobody says that human nature is always on the right side.

I'll tell you a story about my experience with women who are victims of the income inequality. When I was 20, my company gave me a substancial raise, which was higher than the salary of most of the my female co-workers on my team, some who were responsible for more important functions.
Maybe you didn't give yourself enough credit for your contributions to the firm .

I heard about their complaints and I think they're warranted. Here I was, some 20 year old kid, who was getting paid more than my co-workers who had kids, worked there longer, and had substancially more experience.
What does having kids matter, unless the job has something to do with child care? If they were frequently late, absent, or unable to work overtime due to their children, I can understand the reluctance of the employer to promote them.

I felt I earned it because of my specialites and dedication, but I feel why they feel unfairly treated. They should've been paid as much as me, perhaps even more.
Not everybody can promoted. Unless your promotion was political, you probably outshined your co-workers in the eyes of your employers.

They were minorities, women, and everyday had to work their asses off for little in return. The world is unfair. Even tho we strive for equality, the climate will never be equal. That's why you need laws and people to keep fighting inequality.
Yes, and whenever some of today's alleged disenfranchised get further along, they hire their own and discriminate against everybody else. This tendency of human nature is addressed by laws, which work a good deal of the time, but there are ALWAYS going to be exceptions.
