		<description>&lt;em&gt;Women with full-time jobs now have weekly earnings equal to 80.2 percent of what men earn, up slightly from 2008 but lower than a high of 81 percent in 2005.&lt;/em&gt;
Is this metric based on pay for comparable work done? Or did they just come up with an average salary earned by all men v. the same for women. Because that could make a difference in the outcome.

&lt;em&gt;even though they still trail significantly in several categories such as business, science and engineering.&lt;/em&gt;

So are men majoring in subjects that result in higher salaries when they graduate?

RRRA, it stands to reason that MLB players earn higher salaries than pro women athletes, because the revenues their organizations generate are significantly higher than any pro women&#039;s outfits. Citizen Bank&#039;s Park regularly sells out its 44k + seat stadium, not to mention commissions from all its concessions, merchandise licensing agreements, all the profit that attends a successful major league baseball franchise. The players&#039; salaries are higher because the Phils are a profitable enterprise that can afford to pay more - as are the Yankees.

There are economic realities and market forces&#160;driving the inconsistencies and&#160;difference in pay.&#160;If the women pros could command the same audience and network&#160;participation as the best baseball teams, there would be a significant uptick in their pay. (You mentioned the exceptions of tennis and golf - yes those sports have huge audiences, ergo the big bucks for Serena et al.)

&#160;If Chelsea ever makes it to the bigs, let&#039;s hope she has an astute agent who can get her a great deal.

Women are&#160;the primary breadwinner in increasingly more households. In fact, this recession has created a situation where&#160;the woman is the only breadwinner, since the man is laid off. We&#039;ve made great advances in the working world over the past three decades. IMO it&#039;s less productive to get in a mind-space of the permanently aggrieved than to find out what our skills are worth and go out and get &#039;r done.

		<description>Thanks creeper and y&#039;all. English is one of the official languages. The Philippine political system has many flaws, one of them a system that encourages or allows so much corruption to exist. &#160;But gender politics is not one of them. &#160;No man would dare say that women cannot have equal say in politics--they&#039;d get it from the wives, daughters, nieces, etc.

I always wonder why, in an &quot;advanced&quot; society like the United States, women are still fighting for equal rights and still could not have a qualified woman elected president. I might add that women in the Philippines voted the first time there was an election in 1898 before the Philippines became a colony of the USA and how many Americans realize that the Philippines was the one and only colony of the USA-- from 1898 to 1946. </description>

		<description>Well, I was born by then (&#039;58), but no, I don&#039;t know him.I have already read abt him at Wikipedia, though.&#160;

Shortstop is a great position - my fave, Derek Jeter&#039;s, position! </description>

		<description>I think the &quot;Men in Black&quot; should pay her a visit--alien life forms blowing their cover like that in front of thousands of people is simply not acceptable! </description>

		<description>Thank you, felizarte.&#160; Tagalog and Spanish were the only languages I knew that are spoken in the Philippines.&#160;

The Cuyonon website was an eye-opener.&#160; I liked the fact that the majority of it is in the Cuyonon language.&#160; It was sad to see the monument that had been destroyed by port improvements.&#160; That should not have happened.

May the Cuyonon Language and Culture Project thrive.&#160; Thanks again for educating us.

Oh, and while I&#039;m running my fingers, I&#039;d like mention that the Philippines elected a woman president twenty-four years ago.&#160; Here, of course, we&#039;re still waiting. </description>

		<description>Agreed it is a two way street in that it is also the man&#039;s fault but if women had a bit more self-respect and didn&#039;t throw themselves at these men maybe things would be a bit different.

Yes, she is representing David Boreanz&#039;s mistress too - speculation it is Rachel U..whatever her name is - Tiger&#039;s numero uno that was texting with his wife on Thanksgiving. He paid her millions to keep her mouth shut in what I think was to keep Elin out of this.

Oh and let&#039;s not forget Rielle Hunter. Geez, the list is long and longer by the breaking story :) </description>

		<description>And as I recall one of Tiger&#039;s friends was trying to get pregnant.. Oh, why not, it&#039;s money in the bank. No such thing as a mistake in that dept. anymore. </description>

		<description>Citizen Jane,

I&#039;m just not satisifed with the lack of enforcement of equal pay.&#160; Your individual experience is not indicative of a cross-section of America when it comes to salaries for women in comparison to men.

Women are still not at a place where they can negotiate salary and be given the same kind of respect as&#160;men are given for &quot;negotiating&quot; up on what is being offered because HR is told what to offer by the CFO, who is more often than not, a man.&#160; The reality is that the stats are just not in the woman&#039;s favor when it comes to getting equal pay.&#160; That will come when more women are in positions of power, both in business and politics.

No doubt, Chase looks real&#160;good in that picture, but I&#039;m a Boston Red Sox Fan! </description>
