My better half has been an accountant for 25 years and a childhood friend is a former president of NCPA.
Please decide to keep your dignity and never use an Obama crony as leverage again.

I don't think the equal pay thing is truly a question of "rights." There is no natural or "unalienable" right to equal pay. And the legalized, government mandated equal pay thing was settled by the Equal Pay Act of 1963. If a women is discriminated by lesser pay for equal work in equal job with equal skill, she can sue and win. And she could be granted a sizable sum, which most employers probably would not want to be liable for.
I am not sure what government can do in terms of rights, if women don't sue, except to create a separate agency with thousands of marshals to constantly monitor business in the country.
Where problems exist, they might be more a cultural issue than a rights issue.
