21. That's not hard at all to prove...

"I've worked jobs where I"ve run circles around my male counterparts who got sometimes 2x's the pay that I did. I out sold them, out schooled them, and out customer-serviced them, but it didn't matter...they were always 'better' than me in some way. I imagine that 'betterness' had to do with the fact that I have a uterus and ovaries, and they have a penis and testicles, but it's very hard to prove that in court."


You take your sales record, your level of expereince/education, and your seniority, then compare it to theirs, if your records are same or better, you have more/same seniority and more/same expereince, yet you get paid less, you've shown gender discrimination.

Unless your employer could show other reasons for your pay level that had nothing to do with your gender... like maybe you're not as productive or something like that.

Seems that would be a rather easy thing to prove.
