Don't ask for the same pay if you can't do the same work, simple as that. If your task is to move some boxes and they are too heavy for you to carry, don't ask a man to do it, it's your task. If a man does it for you, then you shouldn't be getting the same pay, plain and simple. You shouldn't get extra break time just because you're on your time of the month, suck it up and drive on right. That is all, you want equal pay, do equal work.

Women mostly work in Offices, in Medicine, in schools and not in a factory where they would need men's help. Thank you!

So, dear Neanderthal, if a man has a sprained shoulder and asks for help moving a box, his pay should be docked?
Sheesh, workplace equality is not limited to manual labor. Perhaps you should get out more or aspire to more than grunt work as a career. If there is a physical requirement for a job, it applies to men and women equally. Perhaps you have never noticed that some women are stronger than some men.
And do a little homework. Gender discrimination cases were usually brought when men and women with equal qualifications and education did exactly the same jobs and got radically different pay. That's the sort of inequality that must end, as well as penalizing women for having children when fathers are not considered a lliability for procreating.
Most men who whine about the evils of equal treatment in the workplace seem to be afraid women will show them up.

Actually, women DO make the same pay for the same work. Any statistic saying women make less for the same work is a LIE! A feminist propaganda LIE!
Honest studies have been done, adjusted to compare for comparable education and hours worked, etc, and women actually earn more a few cents more than men. But that doesn't meet the feminist propaganda needs, or the emotional needs of their insane followers to feel like victims.

I work as an Emergency Medical Technician and lifting large and heavy Pt's is part of my job. I am a women! and I can out lift 95% of the guys there, so does that mean I should get more pay than them? Some of the guys I have to work with can hardly lift their own legs to walk!!!! But we all get payed the same.

And yet companies will let their insurance companies dictate to them who to hire and not hire in order to keep employee benefits premiums down... This causes not just sexual discrimination, race discrimination, but age discrimination... I've seen 45 year old men with 20 years experience get turned down because a 20 year old non-smoker just out of Junior College applied for the same position... Companies have come to call this "over-experienced"... a politically correct term for age discrimination...

Well, I agree, if you can't do the job why do you have it in the first place. But many other jobs unrelated to lifting boxes underpay women, and sometimes they do more work. So should they get paid more than their male counterparts? Hmmmmm.....

IF I COULDN'T DO THE SAME TASKS AS MY MALE COUNTERPARTS THEN NO I WOULDN'T EXPECT EQUALITY.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT FEMALE OR MALES SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME WORK IN OR OUT OF THE WORK PLACE.

Wouldn't it be faster to just post a question titled :'HEY LADIES! FIRE UP THE MOUSES! I'M A JERK AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME OFF!'
-Just a thought.
