Dear
Laura,
There
are so many different views on pay equity, all
with a goal of achieving comparable worth for
women and men. I'm not sure what exactly cultural
feminists would say about pay equity since cultural
feminists (at least in an historical sense) wanted
to create women-only spaces. Again, they would
be supportive of comparable worth and would be
working to ensure that their women-only spaces
were valued the same as integrated spaces. Plus,
cultural feminists would probably argue that the
highest paid person should never be paid considerably
more than the lowest paid person.
The
problem with pay equity as it is currently enforced
is that it only takes into account a woman and
a man who have the exact same job. We need more
inclusive legislation that takes into account
the value of the job and the value of different
jobs across different sectors. I hope that helps.
Good luck.
Amy
