Would you be happy if women around the world started to get more pay than men in their jobs? It'll be a fantastic thing.

No I wouldn't, you don't fix a problem by flipping it, then it's the same problem just with different people. You fix it by equalizing it. The only thing that should determine how much someone makes is their work itself. If a women is working harder and better than a man at a job then give her a little more, and vice versa.

Would you be okay with single mothers getting paid more than everyone else just to look after their children?
SeriousOpinions
More? No. Raising their paycheck just for that reason alone seems unfair. Now if they are working hard even while raising a child then they may deserve a bit larger of a wage, at the employers decision of course. Now even though being a single mother shouldn't immediately mean a larger paycheck, I think it is fair to give better hours and much more flexibility in scheduling.
