Absolutely, qualifications and experience are crucial factors when determining pay. However, the gender pay gap persists even when these factors are considered equal. Take for instance, a study conducted by the American Association of University Women, it found that one year after graduation, women were paid just 82 percent of what their similarly educated and experienced male counterparts were paid.

As for the suggestion to fight for it or find another job, it's not always feasible. People may lack the resources or economic stability to leave their job or go through a legal process. It also doesn't address the root of the issue: systemic gender pay inequality. What solutions do you think could better address this systemic issue?
