A lot of the women threw a fit when they found out they were making less than the guys. Especially the ones that were bi-lingual (white, college educated). I think it's more rampant than men assume.

I didn't know today was a thing, and am not making a comment on that part of it, because I honestly don't care and view this much like people on MySpace back in the day spreading the word to "don't buy gas on Tuesday, that'll show 'em!!!" Just pointing out that I always assumed people were paid the same (especially in entry level positions) until I found out that they weren't.
That sounds like an issue between the employer and the employee... not the business of the government to regulate. But I dunno, I've never worked a job where everyone isn't paid equally based on gender- if there is a difference in pay it's usually due to factors like experience, time in position, quality of work, attendance, sick time used, education, etc.
