In fact, the OPPOSITE is true in reality, if "discrimination" == "lower pay for the same work". How 'bout putting it another way: "if women work just as hard as men, and must settle for jobs at a lower salary than men, then a company which will not hire women is at a strong competitive disadvantage." I think this more accurately reflects what really happens. ~joe testa~ -------
