I have yet to work in a place where males, females, people of all races/colors/creeds are not all on the same pay scale for the same work. This leads me to believe the whiners are either leaving out vital information in order to further their argument or they truly believe that someone with a liberal arts degree in underwater basket weaving should be paid the same as a deep water oil rig welder.

Those facts do not always get left out. There are studies that take that in to account and have shown that job differential doesnt account for much more then half of the pay gap. Also, studies regarding similar education and work experiance have shown gaps still, and while nobody may make the same wage in the private sector when there are big differentials it is something worth looking it.
Yes, there are many people just attacking PC bullshit that detract from valid arguments but that doesnt mean every argument made by a group of people is crap just because who said it.
