    Nanz, I'm not going to argue with you, largely because the very next
    thought after the one you quoted is that it is "essentially true". I
    have two thoughts, though: First is, I don't think that saying, "You
    can't win, just quit, it's hopeless." is especially useful. That
    whopping 12 cents towards equality is incredibly significant,
    especially considering that before WWII there were comparatively few
    women working at all. Any rise is positive. Second, statistics are
    only statistics. There's a woman right here next to me (my wife) who
    makes equal pay for equal work, and I know many more personally.
    Statistics are only statistics. Not meaningless, but not all that
    meaningful, either.
