Repubs are always against equal rights for women and trying to control their bodies.

Senate Republicans defeat women’s equal pay bill, again
WASHINGTON—By a party-line 50-49 vote, every Senate Republican—even the women—defeated HR7, the bill to put teeth into the Equal Pay Act that helps working women
Unions and women’s groups strongly supported the legislation, authored, as usual, by influential Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. It would put teeth into the almost 60-year-old Equal Pay Act by eliminating corporate excuses for discriminating against women in pay. Instead, firms would have to prove unequal pay is not due to prejudice against women workers.
It also would make it easier for wronged women workers to find out, in broad categories, what their privileged male colleagues with the same credentials earn, and to sue if their pay isn’t equal.
Organized labor and women’s groups strongly supported the measure. So did Senate Democrats, led by Senate Labor Committee Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the only two who spoke before the vote. The GOP shut up.
“The Paycheck Fairness Act is a long overdue remedial measure that responds to the demonstrated inadequacies of the 1963 Equal Pay Act,” AFL-CIO Legislative Director Bill Samuel wrote lawmakers before the roll call.
“Although the Equal Pay Act made it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to male and female employees who perform the same work, wage disparities between men and women persist in both the private and public sectors, at every educational level,” nationwide.
“Women working full time are paid only 82 cents for every dollar paid to men, and this gap is greater for women of color. Without intervention, the wage gap between all men and women is not expected to close until 2059 and will take significantly longer for Black and Latina women.
“While belonging to a union is the surest way to guarantee equal pay on the job—unionized women earn some 27% more than do their non-union counterparts—the Paycheck Fairness Act would provide new effective tools to close the wage gap,” he said.

Fake news. That's the
Leftist
story. I would be willing to bet they added something else objectionable to the bill.
MAGA! FAFO!

MYTH: Women earn 77 cents [amount varies depending upon who is spouting the bullshit] for every dollar a man earns—for doing the same work.
FACTS: No matter how many times this wage gap claim is decisively refuted by economists, it always comes back. The bottom line: the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing.
Wage gap activists say women with identical backgrounds and jobs as men still earn less. But they always fail to take into account critical variables. Activist groups like the National Organization for Women have a fallback position: that women’s education and career choices are not truly free—they are driven by powerful sexist stereotypes. In this view, women’s tendency to retreat from the workplace to raise children or to enter fields like early childhood education and psychology, rather than better paying professions like petroleum engineering, is evidence of continued social coercion. Here is the problem: American women are among the best informed and most self-determining human beings in the world. To say that they are manipulated into their life choices by forces beyond their control is divorced from reality and demeaning, to boot.

Great post.
My daughter has chosen to teach elementary school children. She absolutely adores working with young kids. There are no male teachers at her school.
Can you imagine a man declaring that he absolutely adores working with little kids? He'd rightly be considered a pedophile.
There are fundamental differences between men and women. These are never even accepted, never mind factored in to the alleged wage gap discussion.

There seems to be a notion amongst many on the loony left side, who lack honed critical thinking skills, that gender is an abstract and that men and women can be equal existing in the ether
, and ignore the fact that objective and biological differences will determine many differences and will also dictate vocational interests too.

Exactly. Humans have evolved over approximately 500,000 years. In all that time, everyone knew that men and women were different.
It's staggering that we've now decided there's no difference. Without any evidence. Just the notion that it's not fair because men have some sort of privilege.
There are many deceased young men, whose remains litter thousands of battlefields all over the planet, who would like to say something about that.
