*Men negotiate harder than women do and sometimes women get penalized when they do negotiate. So as part of our recruiting process we don’t negotiate with candidates. *

Is this the best way of ensuring pay equality? By not allowing potential employees to negotiate their compensation packages?

Yes, I get it. And I agree with you. Just more rules to level the field, instead of encouraging women to become better negotiators. I'm on this whole thought process right now about women berating one another and how it affects our ability to grow as a community. This is a prime example of this. It seems like it would be a good idea, as all "equality" movements do on the outset, but I don't buy into limiting one group to boost another. TRAIN people to become their best selves! Encourage growth! Don't restrict! That's crap.

Oh, I'm not arguing with you, Sash Walker, just showing where I came up with the idea for this post.

Obviously, some people consider this a step in the right direction. I believe as you believe, that people should train to be their best selves.

Yes, I knew you were not arguing. This crap of making excuses is pathetic. If you want to level the playing field, step up, not pull others down.

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
