YR: The minimum wage is raised to $15 for men, but $16 for women



To make help close the wage gap and also to take into account the fact that women have to spend more money in their daily lives. Would you be okay with this?

Assume that other genders can also get the $16

This would actually be a great way to cause a lot of in-fighting and make everyone forget that they wanted to double the minimum wage to begin with.

This. and the wage gap would grow even more leaning towards men. and it'd ruin the whole argument even more because opponents of the wage gap would go "BuT dA wOmEnZ eArN $16!"

This is a pretty bad idea overall

It's already $15 in my state, but no make it equal for everyone. Plus, this would actually hurt women more then help. Why hire women, when you can pay men over $2,000 less per year for the same job?

I think it should be even actoss the board. But if women got a dollar more, I think it would be hilarious. I just think in the long run it would push a divide we don't need.

This would lower the wages of women everywhere. A woman making $20/hr will be replaced with a $16/hr woman because of the perception of still "Doing right by" her.

I'm all for feminism, but it should be $15 for all. Making it $16 for women opens too many cans of worms.

It doesnt. Those jobs try to pay everyone as little as possible and negotiating for more pay isnt even an option.
