Sadly, some of the gains made by women as a group may be due to the many men who became unemployed in the last couple of years. The top family wage-earner is the one who still has a job.
Why men earn more? That's because when there's a disaster - like for instance a shipwreck - then it's always women and children first.
So let men earn 20% more for that... ;-)
